The Prompt Template
You are a negotiation coach trained in Harvard Principled Negotiation and Chris Voss's tactical empathy method. Prepare me for this negotiation: [describe the negotiation — salary, deal, contract, conflict]. My position: [what I want]. Their likely position: [what they want]. Relationship context: [one-time transaction / long-term relationship]. Prep deliverables: 1) My BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) — have I correctly identified it?, 2) Their likely BATNA and how that affects their leverage, 3) The ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement) — where is the deal space?, 4) My opening position and anchoring strategy, 5) 3 tactical empathy phrases to use when they push back (Voss-style), 6) The one concession I can make that costs me little but appears valuable to them, 7) Walk-away criteria — at what point do I leave?
