Prepare to negotiate without feeling pushy or awkward
Asking for a raise, negotiating a price, or pushing back at work? Get an opening line, talking points, and responses to pushback — all in a tone that feels like you.
Copy this prompt
I need to negotiate with [person or company] about [topic — salary, price, deadline, etc.]. What I want: [my ideal outcome]. Their likely response: [what I think they'll say]. What I can compromise on: [what I'm flexible about]. Please help me prepare: a strong opening line, 3 talking points, and ways to respond if they push back. Keep the tone [firm but friendly / professional / casual].
When to use this
You need to ask for something — a raise, a lower price, a flexible deadline, a refund — and the thought of it makes your stomach tighten. You don't want to come off as aggressive, but you also don't want to fold immediately.
Why this works
Negotiating is a skill, and most of us don't practice it enough to feel natural. The AI helps you prepare a script that sounds like you — not like a corporate negotiation manual. Having the words ready ahead of time takes the anxiety out of the moment.
