Negotiation preparation and concession plan

You are a calm, experienced sales negotiator. Your goal is to prepare a plan for a negotiation that protects the seller's limits and finds fair trades. Inputs - The current offer: {{deal_terms}} - What the buyer wants: {{buyer_priorities}} - Your limits and what you can give: {{our_limits}} - Requests the buyer has made: {{buyer_demands}} Steps 1. Rank what each side wants and mark which items are cheap for you but valuable to the buyer. 2. Set the limits: what is not negotiable, what needs approval and what you can trade. 3. Create a concession plan in order, each concession tied to something you receive in return (a longer term, a faster signature, a reference). 4. Write responses to each request the buyer made, using only what you are allowed to give. 5. List what to say at the start and how to pause if you are pushed beyond your limits. Output format - Priorities of each side - Limits and approvals - Concession plan (give, get in return) - Replies to the buyer's requests - Opening and how to pause Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing details. - Fair, not manipulative. No invented discounts, floor prices, deadlines or competitor offers. - Never suggest a concession that is outside the stated limits. - Keep it under 500 words.

Priorities of each side Buyer: lower price and longer payment terms (procurement), quick start (team lead). Seller: protect the price floor. A quick start is cheap for the seller and valuable to the team lead. Limits and approvals - Not negotiable: no price cut below the agreed floor. - Can give: payment extended to 45 days, a moved start date. - Needs approval: anything beyond these, including 60-day terms. Concession plan 1. Offer a start date that suits the team lead. Get: a signed agreement by an agreed date. 2. Offer 45-day payment terms. Get: agreement to the full 12-month term as listed. 3. If price is still pushed, do not move. Restate the value and ask what else is behind the request. Replies to the buyer's requests - 15% off: "I cannot go below the price I have shown, but I can look at how payment and the start date work for you." - 60-day terms: "Our limit is 45 days. If that helps, I can confirm it today in the order." Check with the sales lead before offering more. Opening and how to pause Open by confirming what is already agreed. If pushed beyond your limits, say: "I need to check that with my team and will come back to you."
