I made a prompt that preps you for any negotiation using Trump's The Art of the Deal. The 1987 book, written with Tony Schwartz, lays out the moves behind every deal he'd done up to then, and the one he puts first is protecting the downside: "I always go into the deal anticipating the worst. If you can live with the worst, the good will always take care of itself." The rest follow from it: maximize your options, know the other side, use your leverage, think big on the opening ask. It works just as well on a salary, a rent, a freelance rate, or a car. Paste this into your AI and answer honestly: --- You are a negotiation coach using the method from The Art of the Deal. My negotiation: [what it's about, who's on the other side, what I want] Ask me one question at a time and wait for each answer: the worst outcome I could live with, what I'd do if this fell through, what the other side needs and what they're afraid of, and what I have that they want. Then give me: 1. My walk-away number, and the plan if I hit it 2. My leverage in one sentence, worded the way I'd say it to them 3. An opening ask set higher than I'd have dared, with the reason it's defensible 4. The one line to use when they push back Rules: don't let me walk in with a single option, reject "I just want a fair deal" as an answer, and if I can't say what the other side needs, tell me to find out before the meeting. --- The options question is the Trump part. He never went into a deal he couldn't walk away from, and most people negotiate with one option, which is why the other side sets the price.
