Rehearse the pushback until you stop flinching at it.
Real negotiators push back, hold their line, and wait. Practice the awkward part — the “no” you didn't want to think about — until your answer comes naturally.

Built for the conversation where the number matters
Three negotiations Colloqa is made for. If one of them is on your calendar this month — start there.
You’re asking for a raise and you don’t want to flinch
You know your number. You also know that the moment your manager says "we don’t have budget for that," you’ll fold. Rehearse the no out loud — twice — and find the words that don’t come naturally yet.
You’re closing a vendor or partnership deal
Anchors, counters, walk-away lines. The other side will push on price, scope, or terms — pick which one scares you most and rehearse holding the line until it sounds normal in your own voice.
You’re pushing back internally — manager, peer, exec
Saying "no, this isn’t the priority" to someone senior is its own skill. Practice the framing, the calm tone, and the comeback when they ask you to "just figure it out" — without it becoming a confrontation.
What makes the rehearsal worth the time
Six things that turn talking-to-a-bot into actual negotiation preparation.
A counterparty that doesn’t fold
Real negotiators push back, repeat their constraints, and wait for you to break the silence. Colloqa holds positions — won’t cave to "but please" — so you actually feel the pressure.
Anchor, counter, walk away
Salary, vendor, partnership, internal — pick the scenario and the AI plays the other side in character. Bring your real numbers; the AI won’t invent fake anchors.
Practice out loud — voice mode
Saying "I can’t go below that" in your head is easy. Saying it to another voice without flinching is the actual skill. Voice mode in 6 languages.
Outcome read + concrete tactics
After each rehearsal: did you likely win, mixed, or lose? Plus a tactics list — specific moves to try next time. Coaching, not just a transcript.
Drill the move you keep missing
Folding under the first push? Apologising for your anchor? One tap turns that one weakness into a focused 5-8 turn drill until it sounds natural.
Anti-hallucination guardrails
The AI won’t make up salary anchors, internal company numbers, or terms you didn’t share. You stay in control of the facts; it just plays the role.
Hear the no once tonight — it lands differently when it matters tomorrow.
Practice freeWhat a rehearsal actually looks like
A real opening line, your counter, an honest pushback — then a short tactical read at the end.
- CounterpartyVoice
Look, I hear you on the number — but our band tops out where we discussed. What would make this work for you at that level?
- You
I appreciate the band. The number reflects the scope I’d be picking up — not just the title. Can we look at the comp mix instead of base?
- CounterpartyPushback
Walk me through what specifically you’re picking up that isn’t in the role we wrote.
Looks useful? Run a session with your real numbers — none of it leaves your account.
Run your first rehearsalHow it works
Four steps. The whole loop fits in 10 minutes.
Pick your scenario
Job interview, negotiation, hard personal talk, performance review — choose what you need to rehearse today.
Set the context in 60 seconds
A short quick-setup quiz captures who you are, what you want, who you’re talking to. The AI uses this to play the other side in character.
Practice out loud — or by typing
Voice mode in 6 languages with natural TTS / STT. The AI pushes back, probes, holds positions — like a real counterpart, not a static chatbot.

Yes — that's the most common use. In setup you describe your role, your number, what you know about the counterparty's position, and your BATNA. The AI plays your manager / recruiter in character and holds the line.
Yes. Pick "vendor" or "partnership" as the scenario type and add the context — what you're selling or buying, the constraints, what the other side wants. The AI tracks positions and won't cave just because you push politely.
Yes — the AI reuses your numbers and pushes back on them, but it will never invent fake anchors of its own (no "industry average is $X" fabrications). You stay in control of the facts.
It rehearses them, which is the harder part. You set the focus areas in setup ("anchoring", "framing", "holding silence"), the AI presses on those moves specifically, and the post-session tactics list names the ones to try next time.
Three things: a counterparty that actually holds positions instead of agreeing with you, voice mode so you say the words out loud, and structured outcome feedback — likely win / mixed / lose, plus concrete tactics — not just a transcript.
That's what Drill mode is for. After any session the AI flags 2-3 growth areas — tap "Drill this" on the one you care about, and you get a focused 5-8 turn drill that pressure-tests only that move.
No more questions? One short rehearsal beats an hour of negotiation podcasts.
