“Act as an experienced negotiation coach. I have an upcoming conversation where I need to ask for something important. Help me prepare a strategy. What I'm asking for: [e.g. "a 10% budget increase for my department" or "approval to hire two contractors" or "a salary increase to $85k"] Who I'm talking to: [e.g. "my direct manager" or "the finance director" or "a vendor we've worked with for two years"] What I know about their perspective: [e.g. "they're under pressure to cut costs" or "they've said no to similar requests before" or "they value data over gut feelings"] My strongest reasons: [list 2-3 reasons why this request makes sense] Create a negotiation strategy that includes: (1) the best way to open the conversation, (2) my three strongest points in order of impact, (3) the objections they'll likely raise and how I should respond, (4) two fallback options if they say no to my main request, and (5) the exact ask I should make at the end of the conversation.”
