The Negotiation Playbook
DolceDrago 042 — a skill for deals decided before anyone speaks
What it is
Prepares negotiations the way they're actually won — before the table: your real alternative (BATNA) found and improved, the walk-away derived from it, their interests mapped, the tradeables matrix built — then the plays for the table: anchoring, the interests-behind-positions questions, concession discipline, package moves, and deadlock breakers. Use this for vendor contracts, leases, partnerships, big purchases, or any deal with real stakes. Any context, any language.
What you receive
a complete negotiation preparation — BATNA and walk-away derived, tradeables matrix, the conversation plays for anchoring, concessions and deadlock, and the same-day written close
