Simulate Any Negotiation Before It Happens

AI plays the other side, predicts objections, prepares your counter-responses, and role-plays with you

Copy & Paste this prompt
I have a negotiation coming up.

Situation: [DESCRIBE — salary, deal, contract]
My position: [WHAT I WANT]
Their likely position: [WHAT THEY WANT]
My leverage: [STRENGTHS I HAVE]
My weakness: [WHERE I'M VULNERABLE]

Now:
1. Play the other side. Give me their
   5 most likely objections/pushbacks.
2. For each objection, give me a strong
   counter-response with specific language.
3. Identify the "walk-away point" for
   both sides.
4. Suggest 2 creative "win-win" options
   neither side has probably considered.
5. Write me an opening statement that
   sets the right tone (confident but
   collaborative).

Then let's role-play: you be them,
I'll practice my responses.

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Works for salary, sales, contracts, partnerships, even rent negotiations
  • •Be honest about your weaknesses — the AI can only help if it knows your vulnerabilities
  • •Use the role-play feature to practice your actual responses

🧠 Why This Works

Role-play prompts leverage the AI's ability to model different perspectives and predict responses based on incentive structures. By simulating the counterparty, you practice objection handling and discover weaknesses in your position before the real conversation happens.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

Use before salary negotiations, vendor contract discussions, partnership deals, or any high-stakes conversation where preparation matters. Especially valuable when you're negotiating with someone who has more experience or leverage than you and you need to practice your responses.

🎯 What You'll Get

You'll experience a realistic back-and-forth negotiation where the AI raises likely objections, counters your arguments, and reveals gaps in your preparation. You'll walk away with tested talking points, prepared rebuttals, and a clearer understanding of the other side's priorities.
