What you want: [your ideal outcome]
What the other side likely wants: [their probable interests]
Your leverage: [what strengths do you bring to the table]

# Steps
1. Define your BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) - your walk-away option.

3. Set your targets: ideal outcome, acceptable outcome, and walk-away point.
4. Analyze the other party's interests, constraints, and likely BATNA.
5. Prepare 5 key talking points with supporting evidence.
6. Anticipate 5 objections or tactics the other side may use and prepare responses.

# Output Format

# Notes
- Focus on interests (why they want something) not positions (what they say they want).
- Never negotiate against yourself - let the other side make the first concession.
- Silence is a powerful tool - get comfortable with pauses.
- Prepare emotionally: know your triggers and plan how to stay calm.
