The Vendor Negotiation Prep
Negotiation
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.
Inputs needed
- #Vendor context and terms
What good output looks like
BATNA is realistic (not aspirational), anchors matched to situations, cheap concessions identified, opening line included.
