Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does Ruby help me negotiate better?
Ruby’s step-by-step intelligent, guided planning encourages full collaboration from all involved, to provide a comprehensive and robust plan to ensure no value is ‘left on the table.’
What methodology is Ruby based upon?
Ruby is built upon the proven Red Sheet® negotiation method used by multi-national companies worldwide.
Will Ruby do the negotiation for me?
No, not yet. But this feature is currently in development and will be released in the future.
Do I still need to be trained in negotiation if I use Ruby?
Yes. Good negotiation training is essential to get the most from Ruby and skilled negotiators can deliver a winning performance with Ruby on their team.
How can I know Ruby will produce the best negotiation plan?
Ruby’s AI-enabled, intelligent algorithm, built upon the Red Sheet method, is proven to deliver the optimum plan for any negotiation. In addition, Ruby allows users to ‘get under the hood’ and adjust variables throughout the process to optimize the output.
Where does Ruby get information from?
Ruby guides users through a series of information capture screens to enter information. In addition, Ruby’s AI can get some data where available. Additional data access is possible with integration to other corporate systems.
I’m already using AI, why is Ruby better than what I do currently?
Currently, open or corporate AI will produce a degree of useful negotiation planning according to the quality of the prompts provided. However, Ruby takes this further as it establishes a consistent approach and language, with practical steps based entirely upon the organization scenario and protects commercially sensitive data.
How can Ruby help with the softer aspects of negotiation and selecting the right tactics and techniques?
Part of the planning approach includes determination of suitable power plays, tactics and techniques, and provides guidance on culture adaptations, body language and spoken language.
Can Ruby help me practice for my negotiation?
Yes, once the plan has been produced, you can roleplay your negotiation with Ruby the chat bot, or using your voice in real-time with the avatar (going live this year).
Can I implement Ruby to other systems?
Yes. As part of the customer success implementation, we can integrate Ruby to other corporate systems and sources of data.
