Negotiation prep

In this task, we will practice for an important negotiation through role-playing. Negotiation role-plays allow you to prepare strategies, practice your communication, and get feedback in a risk-free environment before the real negotiation.

Preparation is key for successful negotiations, especially high-stakes ones with multiple stakeholders involved. Let's start by analyzing the context you provided:


{$NEGOTIATION_CONTEXT}


Based on this context, think through the following:
- Key interests and priorities for you and the other party
- Potential tradeoffs, compromises or creative solutions
- Your opening offer and your walkaway point
- How to build rapport and handle objections

Once you have a negotiation strategy in mind, we will role-play the negotiation. I will take on the role of the customer's decision makers. Provide your opening statements to kick off the role-play, and we will go back-and-forth negotiating just like a real scenario.

After each role-play round, I will provide feedback on your negotiation approach, communication style, and suggestions for improvement. We can do multiple rounds of role-playing, adjusting your strategy each time based on the feedback.

The goal is to help you feel prepared and confident going into the actual negotiation. Let me know when you're ready to begin the role-play!
