Dear Negotiation Explorer,

Today, we're taking you inside an advanced negotiation preparation workflow that seamlessly integrates the best of behavioral analysis and AI-enhanced strategy. Building directly on our session from two weeks ago—where we introduced behavioral agents—you’ll see how we’ve elevated the process by combining these powerful tools with Deepak, our negotiation preparation assistant.

The workflow part 1

Here’s how the workflow comes together: We begin with three essential inputs—your LinkedIn profile URL, a brief negotiation context (such as “Please help me prepare for the role play”), and the seller’s instructions. Once provided, the system sets a sophisticated process in motion.

First, your LinkedIn profile is summarized and meticulously analyzed. This information is then passed to our trio of behavioral agents, each employing distinct methods: neurolinguistic processing, statistical analysis, and psychometric frameworks. These analyses lay the foundation for understanding both style and substance.

The workflow part 2

Then Deepak, our negotiation prep AI, steps in. Drawing on the behavioral insights and context, Deepak formulates tailored negotiation strategies. Finally, a combine text agent synthesizes every piece—personal summary, behavioral profile, negotiation context—into a unified report.

The result? A comprehensive psychological overview featuring your LinkedIn summary, DISC profile, Big Five personality traits, and Thomas-Kilmann management style. You also receive robust recommendations for engagement—spanning communication style, negotiation tactics, and relational strategies.

The output

But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll find a concise executive summary, strategic context, and detailed strategy, plus a deep dive into your negotiation position: facts, interests, needs, BATNA, assumptions, and potential biases. We’ve even included the three scenarios we explored last week, alongside confidence levels, estimated BATNA, anticipated interests, standards, leverage points, tradeables, and a mapped-out ZOPA.

Perhaps most exciting are the ten integrative, value-creating options generated—ranging from bundle offers and certification letters to publicity arrangements, warranty clauses, and referral discounts. The workflow wraps up with carefully crafted haggling and communication strategies: opening offer suggestions, concession tactics, key framing ideas, relationship-building guidance, and a summary of risks and assumptions. The entire package is delivered as a Word document for effortless review and sharing.

To put this workflow to work, simply: Provide your LinkedIn profile URL, State your negotiation context, Upload any additional negotiation specifics.

The system will deliver a tailored report with behavioral diagnostics and actionable negotiation strategies. Try applying the recommended integrative options in your next role play or live negotiation. Pay special attention to how the suggested framing and concession moves influence outcomes—and experiment with the relationship-building tips.

This Week’s Exercise

Choose one of this week’s recommended integrative value creation options—such as a bundle offer or warranty clause—and design a negotiation scenario where you introduce it as a creative solution. Practice this scenario with a peer or colleague, paying close attention to the counterpart’s response and your ability to frame the value add. Reflect on what worked and how you might adjust your approach for greater buy-in.
