Negotiation Practice Scenarios

Why practice negotiation this way

The hardest part of any negotiation is saying the number out loud with your pulse up, while someone across the table pushes back. Knowing the right number was never the problem. Reading scripts doesn't fix that. Negotiation practice does: rehearsing the live back-and-forth until the pressure feels familiar instead of paralyzing.

That's the whole idea here. Each scenario drops you into a specific, high-stakes conversation - a salary offer that's $15K under market, a severance package they want signed today, a 20% rent hike, a promotion that keeps slipping a cycle. You talk; the AI counterpart answers in character, in real time, reacting to what you actually say. It holds the silence, hides its real constraints, and pushes back exactly like the person you're dreading. No multiple choice, no canned branches.

Under the hood you're drilling the eight NegotiateIt techniques - Echo, Flip It, Silence, Anchor, Tag It, Get Ahead, Plan B, and Narrow Down - drawn from research-based negotiation methods. You don't memorize them; you feel which one fits when the room goes tense, because you've already tried it and watched it land (or not).

More scenarios are available inside the app, including custody mediation, diplomatic standoffs, and workplace conflicts.
