About This Product
Salary Negotiation Guide
Most people accept the first number because negotiating feels risky. Handled well, it rarely is. This 28-page guide gives you the exact words for every stage: receiving an offer without committing, asking for time, countering with a specific number, and responding to employer pushback.
It includes word-for-word phone scripts, professional counteroffer email templates, objection responses, salary-research guidance, a walk-away / target / reach worksheet, and an offer-comparison worksheet for weighing total compensation. Covers new offers, raises, and internal promotions. Delivered as a PDF plus an editable Word document.

Questions
Frequently Asked
What formats are included?
A print-ready PDF plus an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file so you can personalize the scripts and worksheets.
Is it only for new job offers?
No. It also covers asking for a raise, negotiating an internal promotion, comparing multiple offers, and negotiating non-salary terms like bonuses, PTO, and remote work.
Will negotiating cost me the offer?
Offers are rarely withdrawn over one professional, evidence-based counter. The guide focuses on the calm approach that protects the relationship — and the mistakes that actually put offers at risk.
Is this professional advice?
No. It is an educational guide. It is not legal, financial, tax, or HR advice; always review formal offers carefully and consult a qualified professional for your specific situation.
