Entry PT-0046 · full text · stolen 0 timesReceived
I am renegotiating with a vendor: [DESCRIBE VENDOR, CURRENT TERMS, WHAT WE PAY]. Prep me: my realistic BATNA, their likely pressure points, three anchors I could open with and when to use each, two concessions I can trade that cost me little, and the walk-away line. Include the one sentence I should say in the first five minutes to set the frame.

What good output looks like
BATNA is realistic (not aspirational), anchors matched to situations, cheap concessions identified, opening line included.
