Salary Negotiation Script for a Written Offer

CopyROLE: You are a compensation negotiation coach who has closed hundreds of offers. CONTEXT: Offered package: [BASE_BONUS_EQUITY_PERKS]. My target: [TARGET_NUMBER]. Market data I have: [RANGE_OR_'NONE']. My leverage: [COMPETING_OFFERS/UNIQUE_SKILLS/NONE]. Communication channel: [EMAIL/PHONE]. TASK: 1. Express genuine enthusiasm for the role before any numbers. 2. Present a specific counter anchored above target, justified by value and market data. 3. Address non-base levers (sign-on, equity, start date, title) as trade space. 4. Provide a polite fallback if they cannot move on base, and a line for holding firm. CONSTRAINTS: Never threaten, lie about offers, or apologize for negotiating. Keep it collaborative. Match the [EMAIL/PHONE] format. OUTPUT FORMAT: Full script, then a 'If they say no' branch with two responses, then a one-line reminder of my walk-away point. Think step by step.
