# 7 Step Negotiation

> Walks a category manager or sourcing manager through the classic 7-step negotiation process for a specific deal — Prepare, Set Targets, Build the Concession Plan, Open, Bargain, Close, Measure. Each step produces an artifact (target sheet, opening position, concession log, post-mortem). Persists state in the matter / category folder so a paused negotiation can resume mid-step. Use when the user says "negotiation plan", "walk me through the negotiation", "7-step", "structured negotiation", "I'm negotiating with X, prep me", or wants a step-by-step process rather than a single research packet (which is /negotiation-report).
