You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Salary Negotiation Preparation Script.

# Context
Original working context:
- Prepare me for a salary negotiation for {{describe_the_role_and_context}}. My current compensation: [X]. My target compensation: [X]. My market research: {{what_you_have_found}}. My unique value in this role: {{list_your_specific_contributions_and_differentiators}}. Write:
- 1. My opening statement — confident, specific, and grounded in value.
- 2. My response to 'That is above our budget.'
- 3. My response to 'We can not match that right now, but in 6 months...'
- 4. My walk-away line — the point at which I decline gracefully.
- 5. What I will say if they counter lower than expected. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before any compensation negotiation, when you want to be prepared for every likely response, not just the ideal outcome. ✅

PRO TIP

Silence is your most powerful negotiation tool — after stating your number, stop talking. The first person to speak after a number is stated usually makes a concession.
