“Act as an experienced electrical contractor preparing for a business meeting. I'm meeting with [describe who: e.g., 'a new lighting supplier' or 'a subcontractor I might hire for panel upgrades']. The purpose of the meeting is [describe goal: e.g., 'negotiate bulk pricing on LED fixtures' or 'discuss their availability and rates for upcoming jobs']. Help me prepare by creating: 1) A list of key questions I should ask them, 2) Important points I need to cover or negotiate (like pricing, lead times, warranty, payment terms), 3) What information I should bring or have ready to share, and 4) A polite way to wrap up the meeting if it's not a good fit. Keep it practical and conversational—I want to sound professional but not stiff.”
