About this prompt
This prompt builds a negotiation prep brief for a live deal: a leverage read with both sides' BATNA and the zone of agreement, a concession plan that trades every give for a get, an anchor for your opening number, word-for-word responses to discount, competitor, terms and multi-year pushback, a value defence, firm red lines and a closing approach. It labels every point as fact, inference or unknown, so you never walk in leaning on leverage you can't back up. Use it once a deal is in active negotiation, before the next pricing or terms conversation.Most reps enter negotiations with a target number and a gut feel, but no ranked view of where their bargaining power actually sits versus the buyer's. This prompt produces a working prep brief: a leverage table, your BATNA and the buyer's likely BATNA with the zone of agreement between them, the anchor for your opening number, a concession plan that decides grant, trade or hold for each likely ask and orders the gives from cheapest to most expensive, word-for-word responses to a discount request, a cheaper competitor, terms pushback, a low anchor and a multi-year-for-discount ask, a value defence built only from your own figures, red lines with a clear walk-away trigger, and a closing approach for asking for the decision. Fill in [ACCOUNT AND DECISION MAKER], [PRODUCT, SCOPE AND TERM], [OUR ASK, LIST PRICE AND TOTAL VALUE], [THEIR ASK AND STATED REASON], [YOUR READ], [STAKEHOLDERS], [NEGOTIATION HISTORY], [KNOWN FACTS], [ALTERNATIVES], [TIMELINE AND URGENCY], [WALK-AWAY POINT AND IDEAL OUTCOME] and [FLEXIBILITY, PRICING RULES AND APPROVAL AUTHORITY] before you run it; if the walk-away point or the buyer's ask is missing, it asks for them and stops. Reach for this in late-stage deals heading into terms, not in early discovery where you're still establishing value. Practical tip: paste the confirmation question it generates straight into your next call to test the buyer's real priority before you concede anything, and review the concession plan with your manager first so the trades are pre-approved.The prompt
