Use AI to negotiate—Even If You Hate Negotiating
The fastest way to become a more confident, prepared, and persuasive negotiator
Let’s be honest: most people don’t like negotiating.
It’s uncomfortable. It feels like conflict. And if you’re not careful, it can make you doubt your worth—especially if the other person is more practiced, louder, or better at playing the long game.
But here’s what I’ve learned (the hard way): negotiation is not about being slick or pushy. It’s about being clear. Prepared. Centered in your value. And AI can help you get there—faster than books, courses, or awkward roleplay with a friend.
This guide is for freelancers, founders, consultants, creatives—anyone who wants to:
Ask for more (and get it)
Hold the line without losing the deal
Communicate with clarity and confidence—even when the stakes feel high
We’ll walk through exactly how to use AI to learn, prep, practice, and strengthen your negotiation game.
