# Send a Counter Proposal to Applicants
If a partner has applied to your program by your public terms, you can also propose a different contract (for example, a different set of terms that better fit the partner’s business model).
Learn how to [send a proposal to a prospect](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/performance-program/recruiting-partners/prospective-partners/send-a-proposal-to-a-prospect.md).
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage]** → **Partners** → **Applications**.
2. Hover your cursor over the partner you want to send a proposal to, then select  **\[More]** → **Counter**.
3. On the *Proposal* screen, use the  **\[Drop-down menu]** to select a **Template Term**.
4. Set the **Contract Dates** and specify whether the contract *Length* should be **Ongoing** or **Temporary**.
* If you select **Temporary**, specify the **ending on** date and optionally have the contract **Fallback to the current Template Term** or **another Template Term** once the contract ends.
5. Next to *Approval Options*, select  **\[Radio button]** **Propose**. Use the  **\[Unchecked boxes]** to determine whether this proposal has an **expiration date** and whether they can **counter-offer** your proposal.
6. Optionally, leave **Comments** to explain your proposal.
7. At the bottom of the screen, select **Save**.
* The counter proposal will move to the **Proposals Sent** tab.
