Adults & Professionals · AI for Business · ~4 min read
The big idea
Vendors expect negotiation, but most teens don't ask. AI can draft an email that asks for a 10-20% discount without making it weird.
How to use it
- Ask AI to draft a 'we're growing, can we get bulk pricing?' email
- Ask AI to suggest 3 things to offer in exchange (volume, testimonial, longer contract)
- Ask AI to flag any line that sounds entitled
- Ask AI to write the polite follow-up if they say no
Try it
Pick one supplier you use monthly. Ask AI to draft a negotiation email and send it this week.
