How it works

3

Get your script

Receive a word-for-word negotiation script with talking points and objection responses.

Why this matters

Most people lose thousands of dollars by not negotiating or negotiating poorly. Having a script removes the anxiety and awkwardness from the conversation. You know exactly what to say, how to respond to pushback, and when to hold firm versus compromise.

What you get

Scenario-based scripts

Provides word-for-word scripts for different negotiation scenarios — initial offer, counter, and final discussion.

Objection handling

Prepares responses for common pushback like "this is our best offer" or "the budget is fixed."

Market data integration

Helps you reference salary data and competing offers to strengthen your position.

Non-salary negotiation

Covers equity, signing bonus, PTO, remote work, and other benefits beyond base salary.

Tips for best results

  • 1.Practice the script out loud before the actual conversation. Familiarity builds confidence.
  • 2.Never give a number first if you can avoid it. Let the employer anchor the negotiation.
  • 3.If they cannot move on salary, pivot to other benefits — signing bonus, extra PTO, or remote flexibility.
  • 4.Always negotiate over email or phone, never in person where pressure tactics are more effective.
