What it does
If you enter a negotiation without knowing your best alternative should the deal fall through, you're negotiating from weakness. When the other side realizes you need to close, all the pressure shifts to their advantage. This prompt prepares your negotiation strategy based on your real alternatives: what your minimum acceptable terms are, which concessions you can make and which you cannot, and how to use your alternatives as bargaining power. Use it before any important negotiation, when you find yourself consistently accepting less than you wanted, or when you want to negotiate with confidence knowing exactly how far you can go.
