Negotiate Like a M(AI)VEN 💬
Day 15 of 5-Minute Challenge
Hey M(AI)VENS 💜,
We’re almost at the finish line of our 5-Minute AI Challenge, and our Day 15 skill is one that I want every woman to feel empowered to practice: negotiation.
Whether you’re navigating a client deal, preparing to ask for a raise, or trying to make family responsibilities feel more balanced, negotiation is a form of leadership 💪. And here’s the secret: you don’t have to wait for a high-stakes moment to sharpen your skills. You can practice right now—with a little help from AI.
Today, we’ll use AI to role-play a variety of negotiation scenarios so you can build clarity and confidence before the real thing. Think of it as your personal negotiation coach, ready whenever you are. ✨
🧠 AI Prompt Practice: Negotiation Scenarios
Choose one scenario below to explore—or try more than one!
🛍 Negotiating a Sale (Service or Product-Based)
You’re talking with a potential client who is showing interest but hesitant to commit.
Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude:
"Act as a potential client interested in hiring me for [insert your service—e.g., brand design, coaching, consulting, etc.]. You’re unsure about moving forward because of budget concerns. Let’s role-play the conversation. Ask me common objections or questions so I can practice responding with clarity and value. Then help me refine my answers to be more persuasive but still authentic."
👉 Why it works: This prompt gives AI enough detail to model realistic back-and-forth dialogue and helps you find your voice in value-based selling.
💼 Asking for a Salary Increase
You’re preparing to speak with your manager about a raise and want to feel confident.
Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude:
"Help me prepare for a conversation with my manager where I’m requesting a salary increase. I’ve been in my role for [X years], recently led [name a key project], and consistently exceed performance goals. Create talking points I can use in a professional, confident tone. Then, simulate the conversation by playing the role of my manager and include potential objections or questions I might need to answer."
👉 Why it works: This gives you structured prep + real-time feedback, so you’re not just ready—you’re compelling.
🚀 Advocating for a Promotion
You’re ready to level up—but how do you frame your case?
Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude:
"I’d like to talk to my boss about a promotion to [insert title or leadership role]. I’ve taken on increased responsibilities including [list a few]. Help me build a compelling case that aligns with our company’s goals and values. Then role-play as my manager and walk me through a realistic conversation so I can prepare responses and questions."
👉 Why it works: AI can help you translate your accomplishments into strategic language that decision-makers notice.
🏡 Navigating a Difficult Conversation at Home
Negotiation isn’t just for work—it’s also a relationship skill.
Try this prompt in ChatGPT or Claude:
"Help me prepare for a respectful conversation with my partner about sharing household responsibilities more fairly. I want to avoid blame and focus on how we can work better as a team. Give me phrases to open the conversation with empathy, and help me role-play possible reactions so I stay calm."
👉 Why it works: Practicing with AI can help you build language for connection, not conflict.
🎯 Your Turn – In Just 5 Minutes:
Pick a scenario above—or one from your own life—and drop it into ChatGPT and/or Claude. Watch how the more context you give, the more thoughtful and realistic the responses become. You can revise, reframe, and try again until it feels right.
✨ Negotiation is a beneficial skill to have at work and at home. AI gives you a safe space to practice, explore outcomes, and walk into conversations already feeling 10 steps ahead.
I chose March for this challenge intentionally—it's Women’s History Month and includes International Women’s Day—a time when we celebrate the strength, leadership, and innovation of women past and present. What better time to lean into new tools that help us grow?
Tomorrow’s the final day of the challenge. 🎉 I’ll see you there!
Warmly,
Cheyenne 💜
