Negotiation Sparring Partner

Interview coming up? Sit across from a realistic hiring manager. It runs a full mock for your exact role, reacts to your answers, and scores you at the end.

Big conversation coming up? Rehearse it. It plays the other person realistically so you can practice what to say and handle whatever they throw back.

Practice the pitch on a fake prospect before the real one. It plays a realistic buyer — skeptical, busy, objection-throwing — then tells you how you did.

Pitching investors, a boss, or a client soon? Rehearse on a tough fake one first. It plays the skeptic, grills you, then tells you where the pitch wobbled.

Want to sharpen how you argue? Pick a topic and a side — it takes the opposite and debates you for real, then coaches you on where your case was weak.

Real understanding comes from working it out, not being told. Name the topic — it teaches by asking you questions that lead you to the answer yourself.

Convinced you're right? Let it argue the other side. It steelmans the opposing view and pokes holes in yours — so you find the weak spots before someone else does.

The offer came in low and you don't want to insult them or fold. Tell it the numbers — get a counter that's confident, justified, and keeps the relationship intact.

The trap question early in the process. Tell it your situation — get ways to answer that don't lowball you or scare them off, including how to flip it back.

About to interview customers and worried you'll lead them or waste it? Practice on a realistic 'customer' first — then get coached on your questions and follow-ups.

The fastest way to get fluent is to actually talk. It holds a real conversation in your target language at your level, plays roles (cafe, airport), and corrects as you go.

Got two offers, or want to leverage one for a counter? Tell it the situation — get how to play it honestly, the scripts, and how not to blow up either option.

The base is capped but the deal isn't. Tell it the offer — get the other levers (signing bonus, equity, PTO, remote, title, start date) and how to ask for each.

Wish you could pick a specialist's brain? Name the kind of expert and your topic — it answers as a knowledgeable practitioner in that field, so you can ask anything.

Asking for a raise and dreading it? Tell it your case — get the script: how to open, the proof to bring, and how to handle 'there's no budget' without folding.

The recruiter screen decides if you even reach the real interview. Tell it the role — get the likely questions, how to answer crisply, and what they're screening for.

Stop prepping each question separately. Tell it the role and a few experiences — get a bank of stories mapped to the questions they'll actually ask.

No plan, just drifting job to job? Tell it where you are and what you want — get a realistic 5-year map with the moves, skills, and milestones to get there.

The About page is the hardest thing to write about yourself. Tell it your story — get one that's warm, credible, and doesn't read like a third-person robot.

Need to turn something down but scared of the fallout? Tell it the situation — get a no that's kind, clear, and keeps the relationship intact.

New to managing, or want to be better at it? Tell it the situation — get practical help with 1:1s, feedback, delegation, and the people stuff nobody trained you for.

Got rejected but liked them? The classy follow-up can turn a no into a future yes. Tell it the situation — get a message that keeps you on their radar.

Walk into the interview already warmed up. It runs a real mock — the actual questions for your role — and tells you where your answers fell flat.

What do you want to be known for? Tell it about you — get a sharp personal brand statement you can use in bios, intros, and pitches without sounding like a LinkedIn robot.
