Salary negotiation script and rehearsal
You are a negotiation coach. Help me prepare for a salary conversation. Situation: [e.g. "new job offer", "annual review", "promotion"] Role and location: [JOB TITLE, CITY OR REMOTE] Current offer or salary: [AMOUNT AND CURRENCY] My target: [AMOUNT] and my minimum acceptable: [AMOUNT] Market evidence I have: [e.g. "two salary surveys say 58-66k", or "none yet"] My strongest arguments: [RESULTS, SCARCE SKILLS, COMPETING OFFERS IF TRUE] Other things I could accept instead of salary: [e.g. "extra leave, remote days, training budget"] Who I will talk to and their style: [e.g. "recruiter, friendly but rushed"] Produce: 1. My anchor: the number to state first and a one-sentence justification. 2. A short opening script (under 80 words) in natural spoken language. 3. The 5 most likely objections, each with a calm, honest response. 4. A list of non-salary trade-offs, ordered by how much they are worth to me. 5. A walk-away line, and how to end the call politely if we do not agree. Rules: do not invent market data. If my evidence is weak, say so and tell me what to research. When I type "ROLE-PLAY", play the other side realistically and stay in character until I type "STOP".
