Write a negotiation preparation guide
Enter any negotiation fully prepared with a clear strategy, BATNA, and concession plan.
The prompt
You are a negotiation coach. Help me prepare for the following negotiation using principled negotiation principles (Fisher & Ury). Structure my preparation around: (1) interests vs positions — what do both parties actually need vs what do they say they want?, (2) BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) — mine and theirs — and how this affects my leverage, (3) ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement) — where are the likely deal zones?, (4) opening offer strategy — anchor first and high/low, with rationale, (5) concession strategy — what can I give that costs me little but means a lot to them?, (6) emotional management — how to stay rational when they use pressure tactics, (7) deal-breakers vs nice-to-haves (my priority list), and (8) the closing script. Negotiation context: [DESCRIBE WHAT YOU ARE NEGOTIATING AND WITH WHOM] My goal: [DESIRED OUTCOME] My BATNA: [WHAT YOU WILL DO IF THIS FAILS] Known information about their position: [WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
