negotiation-strategy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you prepare for, navigate, and debrief negotiations so you can reach durable agreements by analyzing interests, BATNAs, ZOPA, and value-creation trades instead of relying on instinct.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Negotiation mapping: Breaks down parties, subject, context, timeline pressure, and power dynamics into actionable structure.
• Interests, BATNAs, and ZOPA: Separates positions from interests, estimates walkaways, and checks whether an agreement range actually exists.
• Strategy design: Builds opening strategy, concession sequencing with trade-offs, and contingencies for stalling, trust breakdown, and emotional escalation.
• Relationship-aware execution: Adjusts tactics based on whether the deal is one-shot or repeated and accounts for culture and power asymmetry.
