Counter a sponsorship offer

What you need: The exact offer (who's pitching, brand + product, the scope they proposed, the dollar figure, exclusivity/usage terms, deliverable deadline), your follower count + average engagement on your primary platform, the niche your audience sits in (sports recovery, finance, beauty, parenting, etc.), ONE comparable past deal in the same category (a real dollar figure or "first paid deal in this category"), what an honest audience-fit % is for THIS brand (the buyer for their product is X% of your followers — rough is fine), and your floor — the number below which you'd rather walk than say yes. About 7 minutes of honest answers.

How to use: If you've built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem, open that and paste this prompt inside — the AI will skip what it already knows. Otherwise, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you across 7 questions, then produces a one-page counter reply: a verbatim REPHRASE opener ("here's what would make this work for me"), THE COUNTER NUMBER (single dollar figure + scope + exclusivity terms — never a range), THREE MATH LINES that justify it (audience-fit CPM, similar-deal precedent, opportunity cost), THREE TRADE OPTIONS the brand can pick from (A: more $ same scope · B: same $ shrunken scope · C: hybrid with performance bonus tied to view thresholds), a WARM CLOSE that names a specific future scenario in case they walk, and WHAT NOT TO SAY (both the apologetic under-ask AND the aggressive ultimatum). Firm + collaborative — the counter that gets a real number without burning the deal.
