Salary negotiation
Salary negotiation is a rehearsal problem.
Most people leave money on the table because they never said the number out loud before they had to.
In a negotiation session you set a defensible target range, assemble the evidence that supports it, write the script, then practice it until the pauses stop feeling dangerous.
Sessions cover base, bonus, equity, title, remote terms and start date, plus what to do when the answer is a firm no or a stall disguised as a process.
Where the work happens
The number
A defensible range anchored in what the role actually pays.
The evidence
Scope, results and market proof assembled into three sentences you can say calmly.
The rehearsal
Live practice against pushback, silence, and the classic above-band reply.
Good fit if
- You have an offer, or an offer is close.
- You are asking for a raise or a title change inside your current company.
- You have accepted the first number before and do not want to again.
Questions people ask first
Will you tell me exactly what to ask for?
You leave with a target range and the reasoning behind it. The decision, and the words, stay yours.
One session or more?
One 60-minute session covers most offers. Two sessions suit a raise campaign you are planning months ahead.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is negotiation coaching and does not constitute investment, tax or legal advice.
