What are negotiation scripts?

Word-for-word email and in-person templates that help you negotiate professionally and keep control of the conversation.

Should I negotiate by email or in person?

Email removes face-to-face pressure and gives you time to compare offers, while in-person scripts help you stay calm and firm on the spot.

Negotiation Scripts

Don't know what to say? Read from the script. Unlike stores with fixed prices, car dealerships expect you to "negotiate" (discuss and haggle over the price). These word-for-word templates help you push back professionally and keep control of the conversation.
