“Act as a small business negotiation coach helping an auto repair shop owner prepare for a meeting with their parts supplier representative. I want to negotiate better pricing and terms. Help me create a structured meeting plan that includes: (1) a friendly opening that sets a collaborative tone, (2) three specific concerns or requests I should bring up with supporting reasons, (3) questions I should ask about volume discounts or loyalty programs, (4) a professional way to mention I've been comparing prices with competitors, and (5) a clear closing that asks for specific next steps. My main issues are: [describe your concerns - for example: 'brake pad pricing has gone up 15% this year and I'm losing jobs to competitors' or 'delivery times have been inconsistent' or 'I want better terms on core returns']. Format this as a simple meeting outline I can print and bring with me.”
