Salary negotiation scripts FAQ

Should I always negotiate a job offer?

In most cases, yes. Employers usually expect it, and a polite, evidence-based counter-offer rarely gets an offer withdrawn.

How much should I counter-offer?

A common approach is 10 to 20% above the first offer, as long as your market research supports it. Ask for one number, not a range.

Is email or phone better for negotiating?

Both work. Email gives you time and a written record. A call builds rapport. Many people send the counter by email and discuss it by phone.

Does it help with asking for a raise?

Yes. There’s a full raise playbook: the meeting request, the conversation and what to say if the answer is ‘not now’.

Is this a physical product?

No. It’s an instant digital download.
