The Negotiation Canvas: 7-Question Prep Framework

Stop walking into negotiations unprepared.

Whether you're discussing budgets with leadership, negotiating vendor contracts, or asking for the resources your team needs—this one-page canvas helps you organize your thinking before the conversation starts.

What's Inside:
The Negotiation Canvas walks you through 7 essential questions every prepared negotiator answers first:
→ What authority do you have—and who else needs to be involved?
→ What problem are you actually trying to solve?
→ What implementation challenges might derail your agreement?
→ What are your interests vs. theirs?
→ What's your BATNA (and theirs)?
→ What are your specific negotiation goals?
Plus a fillable canvas you can print and use before any important conversation.

This is for you if:
You're a manager or emerging leader who wants to stop "winging it" and start walking into every negotiation with clarity and confidence.

Time to complete: 15-20 minutes per negotiation prep
