The prompts
Prompt 1
I am negotiating a salary for a new job. The initial offer is $80,000, but I am aiming for $95,000. My research indicates the average salary for this role in this location is $90,000 - $100,000. I have 5 years of relevant experience and a Master's degree. Generate three different arguments I can use to justify my desired salary, focusing on my skills, experience, and market value. Also, suggest potential counterarguments the employer might use and how to respond to them effectively. Structure this as a conversation.
Prompt 2
I am in a disagreement with a client regarding the scope of a project. They are requesting additional features that were not initially agreed upon in the contract. Explain effective strategies for addressing this scope creep while maintaining a positive client relationship. Consider interests, not positions, and propose a solution that benefits both sides. What are some alternatives to offering these features for free? Include a script outlining how I could start that conversation.
Prompt 3
I am preparing to negotiate the purchase of a used car. The asking price is $15,000. I have researched similar cars in the area and found that the average price is closer to $13,000. The car has a few minor cosmetic issues. Construct a negotiation plan, including my opening offer, walk-away point, and key points to emphasize during the negotiation. Also, create rebuttals to common tactics car salespeople use to inflate the price. I would like to secure the car for $12,500. How could I achieve that?
