What it does
Most price talks go wrong before they start. You aim for a number because you want it, not because the other side can meet it. You guess at what they think. Then you open with your ask, they feel pushed, and the talk becomes a fight or a quick give-in. The steps fix that in order. First it sets your stance, what a win looks like for each side and the point where you walk away. Next it maps the other person: what they want, the pressure on them and a way for them to save face. Then it splits your ask into parts and tests it against what they can pay, ending on one sum or set of terms inside that range. Last it writes your opening, your questions and what to listen for. You tell it what you know of their money, and it marks every guess as…
You give it
- The deal, who is involved, what you want and what is at stake
- Your terms, split into parts if you can (price, fees, dates)
- What you know of their means, income, cash, costs, what they have said about money
- Your must-haves and your walk-away point, if you have them
- What the other side has said so far, in their words (optional)
- A buyer brief (optional)
You get
- Your stance, what a win is for each side and a kind way to say your walk-away line
- A map of their side, wants, pressures, where they are right and how they can save face
- A range of what they can pay, how your ask compares and one sum or set of terms to propose
- An opening that names their fears first, questions to ask and a safe-no question
Use it when
- You are setting a price, fee, rent, debt or settlement and fear it is more than they can pay.
- The other side has more power, or you will deal with them again.
- You want a fair number you can defend, not a split in the middle.
Steps
- Win-win stance planner: Describe a deal or dispute. Get your likely stance, what a win is for each side, and where you walk away.
- Other person's view mapper: Describe the person and the matter. Get their side only: what they want, why they act so and how they save face.
- Customer payment risk checker: Paste your terms and what you know of their means. Get a range they can pay and a sum they can meet.
- Negotiation call prep planner: Describe the deal and the other side. Get opening lines, questions to ask and what to listen for.
How to use it
- Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
- Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
- Paste what you know of their money, even rough numbers. Without it the sum step has to guess, and it will say so.
- Read the sum and the walk-away line before you open the talk. They are yours to change.
