Negotiation Prep for Founders
Stop Negotiating
Against Yourself
Get exact language for the ask, the pitch, or the hard conversation, built on tactics from Never Split the Difference, not generic advice.
You know what you want to say. You don’t know how it’ll land once emotions take over.
The external problem
You’re drafting a pitch, setting a price, sending an ask, or about to walk into a conversation that matters, and you only get one shot at how it lands.
The internal problem
You default to hedging or over-explaining because you’re not sure how direct is too direct, so the ask comes out fuzzy instead of firm.
What's at stake
A fuzzy ask gets a weak answer. A conversation you didn’t prepare for gets away from you, and you walk away with less than you would’ve gotten with the right words in the right order.
Four modes. One lens applied to each.
Bring whatever you’re working on. It reads the situation and pulls the right tools from Voss’s playbook, not a lecture on all of them.
Messages & Outreach
A rewritten draft with Voss’s tactics built into the language itself, for cold emails, asks, and follow-ups built to actually get a reply.
Pitches & Proposals
The framing, order, and language reshaped around how the audience will feel reading it, not just whether the logic holds up.
Live Conversations
A read on the emotional dynamics in the room, exact words to use, and a flag on any power you’re about to give away.
Strategy Questions
Direct, tactical thinking on what to do next, from someone who treats the situation like it’s already been seen before.
