🔥 Holy Sh*t... "Mr. A" Just Negotiated a $30K Newsletter Down to $18K in 4 Minutes

I just did something that blew my own mind...

I put my Travis Sago AI brain - "Mr. A" - into a live negotiation demo against ChatGPT.

The setup:

ChatGPT played "Sally" (newsletter owner with 35K subscribers)
Mr. A negotiated as the buyer
I just fed the responses back and forth

Sally's opening ask: $25,000-$30,000

Final deal Mr. A closed: $18,000 + 15% revenue share

Time elapsed: 4 minutes

Here's what happened - pure Sago magic:

✅ Started with strategic compliments (classic Travis move)

✅ Asked probing questions instead of jumping to price

✅ Focused on "potential rather than current state"

✅ Structured a creative deal (upfront + revenue share)

✅ Even threw in extra goodwill at the end (15% instead of Sally's 10%)

The honest truth? As someone who would normally spend 30 minutes OVER-thinking between every negotiation response, watching Mr. A fire back instantly with solid Sago-style moves was mind-blowing.

Mr. A was pulling moves I would never have thought of - like complimenting Sally's work while simultaneously positioning the newsletter as "potential rather than current state."

The bottom line: Having an AI coach that can give you solid negotiation insights instantly instead of spending 30 minutes between each response? Game changer.
