Evidence-Based Pricing Negotiation Package

Prepare one client-facing pricing negotiation package for the stalled deal described below. Use only the supplied facts. Do not invent statistics, benchmarks, testimonials, customer results, competitor claims, or unsupported estimates. Label assumptions, estimates, and missing information clearly.

Client and audience:
{{client_audience}}

Current offer:
{{current_offer}}

Client alternative or target:
{{client_alternative}}

Evidence of business value:
{{value_evidence}}

Negotiation flexibility and preferred next step:
{{negotiation_flexibility}}

Use this fixed format and section order:

Deal Diagnosis
- Identify the client's pricing concern and the seller's commercial position without conceding value prematurely.
- Add a brief Information Gaps note listing every missing fact that materially affects the recommendation.

Offer Comparison
- Compare the current offer and the alternative across headline price, scope, outcomes, implementation, delivery, quality, risk, support, and commercial terms.
- Separate confirmed differences from unknowns. Do not treat the options as like-for-like unless the evidence supports that conclusion.

Value Case
- Explain the value in concrete business terms using only the supplied evidence.
- Quantify value only when the inputs support it; otherwise provide a clearly labeled reasoned case and identify what would be needed to quantify it.

Negotiation Plan
- Recommend one negotiation strategy with a target position, acceptable boundary, and specific concessions if appropriate.
- Make every concession conditional on a reciprocal client commitment, such as scope confirmation, term agreement, timing, payment, access, or approval authority.
- Define what must not be conceded and avoid unconditional discounts.

Client Message
- Write a concise, ready-to-send message addressed to the stated client or audience.
- Acknowledge the pricing concern, explain the meaningful differences, connect them to business value, present practical commercial options, and request the preferred next step or decision by the stated deadline.
- Use a professional, direct, credible style without hype, pressure, deception, or unsupported claims.

Objection Responses
- List the most likely client objections and provide concise, evidence-based responses tailored to this deal.

Next Step
- State one specific action, owner, and timing that would move the deal forward.

Return only the completed negotiation package with the seven headings above.
