Most negotiations are lost in preparation, not at the table. The party that has mapped its walk-away point, identified the other side’s interests, and pre-written its anchors and counters simply has more room to manoeuvre. This prompt pack gives you a sequence of AI prompts that mirror how skilled negotiators work: prep and BATNA first, then anchoring, then the actual counter-offer email and a clean summary memo once the deal lands.
How it works
You choose the negotiation type — salary, contract, or vendor — which sets the framing and the levers each prompt considers (a salary negotiation weighs equity, start date, and title; a vendor deal weighs volume, term length, and SLAs). You add your context and your goal, and the pack generates five prompts. The prep prompt maps your interests, the other side’s likely interests, and your BATNA. The anchoring prompt helps you set a defensible opening and rationale. The counter-offer email prompt drafts a warm, justified reply. The trade-off prompt lists variables you can give and get. The summary memo prompt captures the agreed terms in writing. Everything is built locally.
Tips and examples
Always run the prep prompt before you exchange any numbers — knowing your BATNA changes how you behave more than any tactic. Negotiate the whole package, not one figure: if they cannot move on price, the trade-off prompt surfaces the start date, scope, or term length that they can move on. Draft your counter-offer with the email prompt, then paste it through a tone checker so a firm position does not read as hostile. After agreement, send the summary memo the same day; writing down the terms while memories are fresh prevents the expensive “I thought we said…” dispute later.
