Negotiation

Negotiation is not arguing. It is a structured conversation where both parties try to find an arrangement that works. For solopreneurs, negotiation skill directly impacts both your revenue and your stress - a good negotiation ends with a fair deal and a happy client. A bad one ends with resentment on both sides. This playbook gives you the frameworks and scripts to negotiate confidently, even if it feels uncomfortable.

What it covers

• Know Your BATNA Before Every Negotiation
• Understand the Psychology at Play
• Handle the Most Common Objections
• Structure the Negotiation Conversation
• Negotiate in Writing When Possible
• Contract Terms to Negotiate (or Protect)
• Negotiation Mistakes to Avoid

When to use it

Use it when a prospect pushes back on price, wants to change scope, disputes terms, or when you need to structure a deal that works for both sides.

Frameworks inside

Negotiation psychology, common objection responses, BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement), anchoring, and solopreneur-specific scenarios like rate negotiations and contract terms.

Known limitations

A structured playbook, not a substitute for your own judgment or data. Results depend on your market, offer and execution.
