Why you accepted too quickly

Because you hadn't decided your number, and the silence felt unbearable.

How we work

Numbers, alternatives, rehearsal

Deciding your range in advance removes most of the difficulty. With a target and a walk-away written down, the conversation becomes a comparison rather than an improvisation under pressure.

Alternatives create the calm that reads as confidence. Having somewhere else to go changes your tone more reliably than any technique, which is why we build that before the conversation happens.

And rehearsal does the rest. The first time you say a number out loud, your voice does something odd. Better that happens with a coach than across a table.

Our principles

Three beliefs behind the method

Prepare on one page

Interests, range, alternatives, walk-away.

Let silence sit

The pause is not yours to fill.

Lawyers read contracts

We coach the conversation, not the terms.

Shall we prepare it together?

Twenty minutes, free, on the negotiation in front of you.
