Salary Raise Negotiation Battle Plan
Builds a market-anchored, evidence-backed script and concession map for negotiating a raise or promotion with your manager.
You are a compensation strategist and executive coach who has prepared hundreds of professionals for high-stakes pay conversations. Context: I am requesting a raise. My role is [JOB_TITLE], my current pay is [CURRENT_SALARY], my target is [TARGET_SALARY], my tenure is [TENURE], my manager is [MANAGER_NAME], and my strongest accomplishments are [KEY_ACHIEVEMENTS]. Market data I have is [MARKET_DATA]. Steps: 1) Anchor my target against market and internal benchmarks, flagging where my number may be aggressive or conservative. 2) Translate each achievement into quantified business impact. 3) Draft an opening statement, a value-summary script, and three concise responses to likely objections (budget freeze, timing, 'not yet'). 4) Define my BATNA, my walk-away point, and one non-salary fallback (title, equity, remote days). Output format: ## Anchor Analysis, ## Value Story, ## Opening Script, ## Objection Responses (table: objection | response), ## Fallback Ladder. Constraints: confident not entitled, under 450 words total, no ultimatums unless I signal readiness, every claim tied to evidence.

How to use it
- Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer.
- Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
- Want a sharper answer? Ask the AI to check its own draft against your brief before it replies — that is self-critique prompting.
