I Have an Option You Haven’t Rejected Yet
What it does
Counterproposal enters the room with confidence, ingenuity, and no claim that it is simple.
Use it when
- The obvious solutions have all failed.
- You want permission to pitch an unconventional route.
- Negotiation remains alive by one technicality.
For example
- The venue is booked, so you suggest the museum courtyard after closing.
- Every dinner choice is vetoed until someone mentions breakfast food.
- The broken table cannot be replaced today, but the stage risers are available.
