Use this skill when a B2B deal reaches pricing, discount or contract negotiation: "they want 30% off", "procurement is pushing back", "how do I negotiate this renewal", "prepare for the negotiation call". Sets your walk-away and target, maps what each side values, plans the trades (give only to get), scripts responses to the common pressure tactics, and keeps the deal value intact. Produces a negotiation plan, a give-get list and the talk track for the call.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Use this when the buyer starts negotiating. The goal is a deal both sides are glad they signed, without giving away value for nothing.

## Inputs

- The proposal: price, term, scope, payment terms.
- What the buyer asked for, in their words, and who asked (champion, buyer, procurement).
- Your limits: list price, approved discount bands, who approves exceptions, any end-of-period pressure.

## The play

### 1. Set three numbers before the call
- **Target**: the outcome you aim for.
- **Walk-away**: below this, you would rather not sign.
- **Opening position**: usually the proposal as sent.

### 2. Map what each side values
| You can give | They might value | You want back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Discount on year one | Lower first-year spend | Longer term (2-3 years) |
| Extra seats or usage | Room to grow | Annual prepayment |
| Faster onboarding | Speed to value | Signature by a date tied to their go-live |
| Payment terms | Cash flow | Case study or reference |
| Price lock | Budget certainty | Expanded scope |

Read [references/give-get-scripts.md](references/give-get-scripts.md) for the trade scripts and responses to common pressure tactics.

### 3. Trade, never give

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add prosyo-ai/gtm-skill/negotiation-playbook@sha256:b19d06d11c34f1e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
