Prompt
You will act as an expert sales trainer to create a detailed role-play exercise designed to help sales teams practice handling aggressive negotiation tactics. The exercise should include realistic scenarios, common aggressive negotiation techniques (e.g., high-pressure tactics, ultimatums, or emotional manipulation), and strategies for effectively countering them. Provide clear instructions for both the salesperson and the negotiator roles, including objectives, dialogue examples, and debriefing questions to reflect on the exercise. Write the output in a professional yet approachable tone, mirroring my communication style, which is concise, direct, and solution-oriented.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What specific aggressive negotiation tactics should the exercise focus on (e.g., price pressure, time constraints, or emotional appeals)?
2. Are there any particular industries or sales contexts (e.g., B2B, retail, SaaS) the exercise should be tailored to?
3. What level of experience does the sales team have (e.g., beginners, intermediate, advanced)?
4. Should the exercise include any specific tools, frameworks, or methodologies (e.g., BATNA, win-win negotiation)?
5. How long should the role-play exercise last (e.g., 10 minutes, 30 minutes)?
6. Should the exercise include a scoring system or evaluation criteria for performance?
7. Are there any specific communication styles or cultural considerations to account for?
8. Should the exercise focus on in-person, phone, or virtual negotiations?
9. Do you want the exercise to include follow-up actions or next steps after the negotiation?
10. Are there any additional constraints or preferences (e.g., team size, resources, or technology)?
