Why this prompt matters
Most vendor contracts are written entirely in the vendor's favor. Auto-renewal clauses lock companies in for another year if they miss a 30-day cancellation window. Uncapped price escalation clauses let vendors raise prices 10–15% annually without renegotiation rights. One-sided liability caps mean you bear all the risk of a service failure. A 2024 Gartner survey found that companies that actively negotiate SaaS contracts save an average of 23% on initial contract value — but fewer than 1 in 3 SMBs negotiate at all, typically because they don't know where to start or how to ask professionally.
What we use it for
You have a vendor proposal on your desk — a SaaS subscription, a service contract, an agency retainer, or an enterprise software deal — and the renewal or initial signing date is approaching. You need to negotiate better terms but do not have a procurement team or legal department to do it for you. Paste the contract and get a complete negotiation package: red flags identified, a counteroffer email ready to send, and a clear sense of when to walk away.
Prompt
Act as a senior procurement specialist and contract negotiation expert with 15+ years of experience closing deals for [YOUR COMPANY SIZE: startup / mid-size / enterprise] companies in the [YOUR INDUSTRY] sector. Context: I have received a vendor proposal that I need to negotiate before signing. The contract is for [PRODUCT/SERVICE TYPE] with an annual value of approximately [CONTRACT VALUE, e.g., "$48,000/year"]. My primary negotiation goals are: 1. [GOAL 1, e.g., "Reduce annual cost by at least 20%"] 2. [GOAL 2, e.g., "Add a 90-day termination-for-convenience clause"] 3. [GOAL 3, e.g., "Remove auto-renewal and price escalation clauses"] My leverage points include: [e.g., "Comparing 3 vendors / Can pay annually upfront / Can provide a case study / Multi-year commitment possible"] Here is the vendor proposal / key contract terms: [PASTE THE FULL PROPOSAL TEXT OR KEY CLAUSES HERE] Task: 1. Identify the 5 most negotiable terms in this contract, with a brief explanation of why vendors typically concede on each. 2. Flag all red-flag clauses: auto-renewal traps, one-sided liability caps, data ownership and portability issues, uncapped price escalation, SLA penalties that favor the vendor, and any clauses that require legal review before signing. 3. Write a complete counteroffer email I can send to the vendor today — professional but firm, with exact replacement language for each clause I want changed, not just a list of complaints. 4. Provide a BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) analysis: what is our best fallback if the vendor refuses to negotiate, and what is the minimum acceptable outcome we should accept before walking away? 5. Suggest 2 concessions we can offer the vendor in exchange for our key asks — things that cost us little but have real perceived value to the vendor. Constraints: - Keep the tone professional and relationship-preserving — we may work with this vendor long-term. - Focus on commercially standard and reasonable asks, not aggressive tactics that could kill the deal. - Clearly flag any clause that requires a lawyer to review before signing — do not give legal advice, just flag it. - Base every observation on the actual contract text provided — do not invent terms that are not present. - If a term is non-negotiable due to legal or regulatory reasons, say so and explain why. Output Format: ## Red Flags (Priority: High / Medium / Low) [List each with: clause name → what it says → why it is a problem → recommended fix] ## Top 5 Negotiable Terms [For each: term name → typical vendor flexibility → suggested ask] ## Counteroffer Email (ready to send) [Subject line + full email body with exact replacement clause language in blockquotes] ## BATNA Analysis [Best alternative + minimum acceptable outcome + walk-away threshold] ## Concessions to Offer [2 concessions with explanation of perceived value to vendor vs. real cost to you]
Result
Example scenario: A 35-person SaaS startup pastes a $42,000/year CRM contract from a mid-tier vendor. Goals: reduce cost by 20%, add a 60-day exit clause, remove auto-renewal.
Red Flags
- Auto-renewal clause (Section 8.2) — HIGH: Contract auto-renews for 12 months unless cancelled in writing 45 days before renewal date. Problem: easy to miss, locks you in at current pricing. Fix: Negotiate to 30-day notice period or mutual written confirmation required to renew.
- Price escalation (Section 5.1) — HIGH: Vendor may increase fees by up to CPI + 5% annually without cap. Problem: In a high-inflation year this could mean 12–15% increases. Fix: Cap annual increases at 3% or CPI, whichever is lower.
- Data portability (Section 12.3) — MEDIUM: Vendor will provide data export in "commercially reasonable formats" at contract end, with up to 90 days to deliver. Problem: Vague and slow — you could be locked out of your own data during migration. Fix: Specify CSV/JSON export within 14 days, at no additional charge.
- Liability cap (Section 14.1) — MEDIUM (flag for legal review): Vendor's total liability is capped at 1 month's fees. Problem: If a service outage causes you $200K in lost business, you can recover at most $3,500. Recommend legal review before signing.
Top 5 Negotiable Terms
- Price: Vendors typically have 10–25% discount authority. Ask for 20% off with an annual upfront payment.
- Auto-renewal notice: Reducing from 45 to 30 days is a standard, low-resistance ask.
- Price escalation cap: 3% cap is industry standard — most vendors accept this for multi-year deals.
- Data export timeline: 14-day export SLA is reasonable and vendors rarely push back.
- Payment terms: Net-30 vs. net-15 — low stakes for vendor, important for your cash flow.

Subject: [Company Name] — Contract Review and Proposed Amendments
Hi [Vendor Contact],
Thank you for sending over the agreement. We are excited about moving forward and have completed our review. We have a few amendments we would like to discuss before signing — all of which are commercially standard and should be straightforward to address.
1. Price: We are proposing $33,600/year (a 20% reduction) in exchange for annual upfront payment, which simplifies your billing and improves your cash flow. We are also prepared to commit to a 2-year term if pricing reflects that commitment.
2. Auto-renewal notice (Section 8.2): Please amend to: "This Agreement will auto-renew unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term."
3. Price escalation (Section 5.1): Please amend to: "Annual fee increases shall not exceed three percent (3%) or the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is lower."
4. Data export (Section 12.3): Please amend to: "Upon contract termination, Vendor shall provide a complete export of Customer data in CSV and JSON formats within fourteen (14) calendar days at no additional charge."
We are ready to sign this week once these amendments are reflected. Please let me know if you would like to discuss any of these on a quick call.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
BATNA Analysis
Best alternative: Competitor B offers comparable functionality at $38,000/year with a 60-day exit clause already included. This is your walk-away anchor.
Minimum acceptable outcome: Settle at $37,000/year + auto-renewal reduced to 30 days + data export within 30 days. If vendor refuses all three, switch to Competitor B.
Walk-away threshold: Any contract above $38,000/year with uncapped price escalation and 45-day auto-renewal notice = walk away.
Concessions to Offer
- Annual upfront payment: Costs you nothing extra (you were going to pay anyway) but improves vendor cash flow and often unlocks 10–15% discounts. Lead with this in exchange for price reduction.
- Case study participation: Offer to be a named customer reference or co-author a case study. High perceived value for vendor's marketing team, zero financial cost to you. Use this to unlock the data portability and escalation cap asks.
بیشتر قراردادهای فروشنده توسط تیم حقوقی فروشنده با یک هدف تهیه میشوند: محافظت از فروشنده. دامهای تمدید خودکار، افزایش قیمت بدون سقف، سقف مسئولیت یکطرفه، و بندهای مبهم انتقال داده، موارد استانداردی هستند. برای شرکتهایی که تیم تدارکات یا حقوقی اختصاصی ندارند، امضای این قراردادها بدون بررسی این شرایط هزینهبر خواهد بود.
این دستور Prompt هر مدل هوش مصنوعی را به استراتژیست شخصی مذاکره شما تبدیل میکند. قرارداد یا شرایط کلیدی را وارد کنید، اهداف و اهرمهای خود را توضیح دهید، و یک تحلیل ساختاریافته دریافت کنید: پنج بند قابل مذاکره، هر نشانه هشدار همراه با راهحل پیشنهادی، یک ایمیل کامل ضدپیشنهاد با متن جایگزین دقیق، یک تحلیل BATNA تا دقیقاً بدانید چه زمانی باید کنار بکشید، و دو امتیاز که میتوانید برای گرفتن درخواستهای مهمتر مبادله کنید.
چرا این دستور Prompt مؤثر است
این دستور Prompt به گونهای ساختاربندی شده که هوش مصنوعی نمیتواند توصیههای مبهم ارائه دهد. باید از متن واقعی قراردادی که وارد میکنید کار کند، بندهای مشخصی را با شماره بخش علامتگذاری کند، و یک ایمیل آماده ارسال بنویسد — نه یک لیست گلولهای از نکات. ساختار نقش + محدودیتها آن را مجبور میکند حرفهای و حفظکننده رابطه عمل کند، که زمانی که به معامله نیاز دارید اما با شرایط بهتر اهمیت دارد.
فیلدهای [bracketed fields] ضروری هستند: اندازه شرکت شما، صنعت، ارزش قرارداد، و نقاط اهرمی تعیین میکنند که یک درخواست معقول چگونه به نظر میرسد. مذاکره یک قرارداد SaaS سالانه ۵,۰۰۰ دلار با یک معامله سازمانی ۵۰۰,۰۰۰ دلار تفاوت دارد و Prompt این را در نظر میگیرد.
خروجی چه چیزی به شما میدهد
- نشانههای هشدار رتبهبندیشده بر اساس اولویت — تا بدانید کدام بندها را باید برایشان بجنگید و کدام را بپذیرید
- ۵ شرط قابل مذاکره — با توضیح انعطافپذیری معمول فروشنده، تا چیزهایی را بخواهید که واقعاً میتوانند ارائه دهند
- یک ایمیل کامل ضدپیشنهاد — حرفهای، آماده ارسال، با متن دقیق جایگزین بند در بلوکهای نقلقول
- تحلیل BATNA — بهترین جایگزین شما، حداقل نتیجه قابل قبول، و آستانه قطعی خروج
- دو امتیاز برای ارائه — چیزهایی که برای شما هزینه کمی دارند اما برای فروشنده ارزش درک بالایی دارند، تا چیزی برای مبادله داشته باشید
چه زمانی از این استفاده کنید
از این دستور Prompt قبل از امضای هر قرارداد فروشندهای که ارزش سالانه آن بیش از چند هزار دلار است استفاده کنید — اشتراکهای SaaS، قراردادهای حقالزحمه آژانس، نرمافزار سازمانی، توافقنامههای خدمات حرفهای، قراردادهای تأمین داده. بیشترین ارزش زمانی است که بدون تیم تدارکات مذاکره میکنید، زمانی که پنجره تمدید نزدیک است و احساس فشار برای امضا میکنید، یا زمانی که فروشنده یک «توافقنامه استاندارد» فرستاده که ادعا میکند قابل تغییر نیست.
این دستور برای مذاکره مجدد قراردادهای موجود در زمان تمدید نیز کار میکند: قرارداد فعلی را وارد کنید، اهداف خود را برای دوره جدید تعیین کنید، و از خروجی برای ساختاردهی به گفتگوی تمدید استفاده کنید.
یادداشتهای مدل
بهترین عملکرد با Claude Opus 4.7 یا GPT-4o برای قراردادهای پیچیده سازمانی — این مدلها متن بلند قرارداد و زبان حقوقی دقیق را به خوبی مدیریت میکنند. برای توافقنامههای SaaS کوتاهتر (زیر ۱۰ صفحه)، Claude Sonnet 4.6 یا GPT-4o mini با هزینه کمتر عملکرد قابل مقایسهای دارند. همیشه بندهای علامتگذاریشده را قبل از تصمیمگیری عمده با یک وکیل بررسی کنید؛ این دستور برای استراتژی مذاکره است، نه توصیه حقوقی.
