💬 AI prompt: Negotiate a freelance or client rate with a clear ask

Help me negotiate a freelance or client rate from facts I already have. Role: [freelancer / agency / contractor]. Deliverable: [what they want]. Scope in: [list]. Scope out: [list]. Timeline: [dates or weeks]. My past rates or invoices for similar work: [numbers + brief notes, or 'none yet']. Hours or complexity notes: [estimate or unknowns]. Client budget clue they gave: [quote or 'none']. Non-price levers I can offer: [phases, revision caps, rush fee, payment terms, etc.]. Target ask I'm considering: [my number or range, or 'help me pick from my past rates only']. Rules: 1) Use only the facts I give; write [MISSING] for blanks and never invent market rates, competitor prices, client quotes, dollar amounts I did not provide, or industry averages. 2) Draft: a one-page scope summary, a short rate ask (email or message) that leads with value then the number, and calm replies to 4 pushbacks (too expensive, can you match X, we need it cheaper for a long-term deal, can you start for free/trial). 3) Suggest at most 2 package options built only from my levers — no invented discounts. 4) No legal, tax or financial advice; no 'you should charge X' unless X came from my past rates. 5) Keep the tone mine: plain, calm, professional. Stop after the drafts and a short checklist of what I should verify, and wait for my corrections.
