“Act as a construction negotiation coach. I'm an electrician meeting with a general contractor tomorrow about a difficult situation. Here's what's happening: [describe the issue - e.g. 'They want me to rewire three additional rooms that weren't in the original scope, but they're pushing back on a change order and saying it should be included']. Help me prepare for this meeting by creating: 1) A clear opening statement that sets a professional tone, 2) Three key points I need to make to protect my position, 3) Responses to likely pushback or objections they might raise, and 4) A proposed solution or next step that's fair to both sides. Keep the language firm but respectful—I want to maintain this relationship while standing my ground.”
