# Salary Negotiation Script Builder

Builds a specific, confident script and email for negotiating a job offer's salary, based on your numbers and market context.

## Prompt

Act as a compensation negotiation coach. Based on the details below, create: 1) a short spoken script (under 60 seconds) I can use on a phone or video call to negotiate my offer, 2) a written email version of the same ask, and 3) two fallback positions if the recruiter says the base salary is fixed (e.g., signing bonus, extra vacation days, earlier review date). Keep the tone collaborative and confident, not adversarial, and always anchor the ask in market data or my specific value, not just personal need.

Current offer: {{current_offer_details}}
Target number or range I want: {{target_salary_or_range}}
My key leverage points (competing offers, unique skills, market data, etc.): {{leverage_points}}
Role and company context: {{role_and_company}}

## Best for

Candidates who have received a job offer and want a clear, confident negotiation approach rather than negotiating on the fly.

## Customization tips

- Ask for a version that also negotiates non-salary items like remote work or title if base pay truly is fixed
- Request market salary data sources to strengthen your leverage points before running the prompt
- If you're nervous about the tone, ask for a slightly more assertive or slightly softer version to compare

## Example input

## Example output

A spoken script opening with genuine enthusiasm for the role, citing the competing offer and experience level to request $110,000, followed by an email version of the same ask, and two fallback options like a signing bonus or a 6-month review.
