You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Negotiate a Better Brand Deal Rate.

# Context
Original working context:
- You are a creator deal negotiator. Help me negotiate a better rate with a brand. Current offer: Brand is offering β‚Ή{{amount}} for {{deliverables}}. My rates: β‚Ή{{my_rate}} for the same. Gap: β‚Ή{{difference}}
- Step 1: Assess the gap: is it worth negotiating or walking away?
- Step 2: Identify my negotiation leverage: audience quality, exclusivity value, organic fit, creator track record.
- Step 3: Write the counter-offer email (professional, firm, not apologetic).
- Step 4: If they don't move on price β€” what to negotiate instead (usage rights, deliverables reduction, timeline, revision rounds).
- Step 5: Write the 'walk away' email if negotiation fails β€” leave the door open for future deals.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When a brand comes in below your rate and you need to negotiate without damaging the relationship.

PRO TIP

Price negotiation confidence comes from having alternative options. Negotiate harder when you have 3 other brand conversations happening. A creator with a full pipeline never has to accept a low offer.
