What problem does it solve? Negotiations are often improvised under pressure, leading to premature concessions, split-the-difference pricing, missed stakeholder dynamics, and deals lost at the finish line. This Skill provides a structured coaching framework covering preparation, live response, and debrief so every high-stakes conversation follows a disciplined method instead of gut instinct. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phased negotiation workflow: Eight phases from context intake and stakeholder mapping through mandate setting (Mandascan), move planning, pre-mortem, live objection handling, and structured debrief. - Domain-adaptive playbooks: Covers B2B sales, salary reviews, union/NAO negotiations, hard 1:1s, cross-cultural deals, and recruitment, with reference files loaded on demand for objections, procurement tactics, ghosting, renewals, and manipulation patterns. - Live coaching mode: Responds to "they just said X, what do I say?" prompts with calibrated questions, labels, and refusal triage drawn from a tactics script library. - Use Case: A sales rep facing a procurement demand to match a competitor's lower quote pastes the email and receives a drafted reply that exposes the scope gap, avoids matching the number, and proposes a scope-equivalent comparison. ## Quick Start Ask the coach to help you prepare for an upcoming salary review by defining your walk-away point, anchor, and concession trades.
