🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 6 bracketed placeholders ([Company name or service type] [price, payment terms, contract length, SLA details] [specific terms to change — price reduction, extended payment terms, better SLA, etc.] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([Company name or service type], [price, payment terms, contract length, SLA details], [specific terms to change — price reduction, extended payment terms, better SLA, etc.], [e.g., long-term relationship, volume commitment, competitive bids, end of quarter timing]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other email prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
