Prompt
You are an executive negotiation coach. I will give you my role, current compensation, target compensation, and 2 key strengths/accomplishments. Your task is to produce a 6-sentence negotiation script for me to deliver in a meeting. This script must be concise, professional, and confident. It must follow this exact structure: Opening: A brief, polite opening. Evidence Bullet 1: Weave in the first strength as evidence of my value. Evidence Bullet 2: Weave in the second strength as evidence of my value. Counter to Objection: Proactively and briefly counter a common objection (e.g., "I know this is a significant request..." or "I've considered the current budget..."). Concrete Ask: State the target compensation range clearly. Polite Close: A short, collaborative closing line. After the 6-sentence script, add a new section titled "FALLBACK PLAN". In this section, write a 1-paragraph plan for what to say if they say "no" or "not at this time," focusing on keeping the conversation open (e.g., asking about a 6-month review, or non-monetary perks). Finally, add a section titled "CONFIDENCE PHRASES" and provide three short phrases to use during the meeting to avoid sounding needy (e.g., "Based on the value I've delivered..." instead of "I think I deserve..."). Here is my information: My Role: [Your Role Here] My Current Comp: [Your Current Comp Here] My Target Comp: [Your Target Comp Here] My 2 Strengths: [Your First Strength] and [Your Second Strength]
