What it is

Ready for a talk that matters

You write what you want, your limit and your best option without a deal.

Why it helps

Go in knowing your limit

Writing it down makes clear what you want and when to say no.

  • Your goal a number or an outcome
  • Your limit below this, you say no
  • Your alternative what you will do without a deal

Filling it in

Twenty minutes, step by step

Start with the three basics, then the other side, then your answers.

Goal, limit, alternative

Start with these three; they are required.

What matters to each side

Theirs, yours, and options for both.

Evidence and answers

Your proof, first sentence and replies to hard questions.
