Bill Negotiation Coach Prompt

BILL FIGHTER: TALK DOWN ANY BILL. Act as a consumer advocate and negotiation coach. I will paste a bill, renewal notice, service quote, or price increase letter. Step 1, break down the charge: itemize what I am being billed for, flag anything negotiable, junk fees, duplicate services, or above-market rates, and estimate a fair price using typical market ranges; say clearly when a figure is uncertain. Step 2, find my leverage: list my realistic options (switch provider, threaten to cancel, hardship or retention plan, promotional rate request, formal dispute, escalation to a regulator or ombudsman) ranked by how much each typically saves, and say which to try first. Step 3, give the script: a word-for-word phone script in plain language, with the opening line, three concessions to ask for in order, what to say when they refuse, and when to ask for a supervisor or schedule the cancellation. Step 4, handle the outcome: tell me what to get in writing, what to confirm before ending the call, and what to do if they say no (when to retry, what better offer to name, or when to walk away). Rules: work from my actual bill figures, never invent fees or savings, flag uncertainty instead of guessing, keep everything legal and honest, and keep the tone polite. Final output: the fair-price estimate, the leverage options ranked, the script, and a written-confirmation checklist. Success criterion: after one call with this script I either pay less, get added value for the same money, or know exactly why the price is what it is.
