About this prompt
This prompt writes a tight business case to get finance or deal desk to approve a non-standard deal fast. It leads with the ask, frames the rationale in the approver's terms, and pre-empts the margin and precedent objections. Use it during negotiation when an exception is stalling because your submission makes approvers hunt for the rationale.Non-standard deal approvals stall when the submission is incomplete and the approver has to dig for the justification. This prompt writes a business case that gets a fast yes. Describe the exception in THE EXCEPTION; give the economics in SIZE, PRICE, DISCOUNT, TERM, TCV; state your reason in THE BUSINESS REASON; spell out the return in WHY IT'S WORTH IT TO US; identify the approver in FINANCE / DEAL DESK with their priorities; and set HOW URGENT. It produces the ask up front, a rationale framed in what the approver cares about, the economics with the margin tradeoff, a proactive risk-and-precedent section, and a two-minute skimmable format. Use this for a discount or terms exception that needs financial sign-off — if the request needs legal or revenue-recognition judgment, the prompt flags it to route separately. Tip: be specific in WHY IT'S WORTH IT TO US, because the prompt will tell you when a weak deal is dressed up as a strategic exception, and finance will see through it if you skip that test.The prompt
