Why this prompt works

People under-negotiate because they lack the words and fear conflict. This prompt arms you with value-anchored talking points, pushback responses, and an opening script, so you go in prepared and collaborative rather than apologetic.

How to customize it

Anchor on your value and market data, not personal need.
Practice the pushback responses out loud.
Keep the tone collaborative to protect the relationship.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
