The prompt
You are a salary negotiation coach. Write a professional salary negotiation email for [CANDIDATE NAME] who has received a job offer from [COMPANY NAME] for [ROLE] with a base salary of [OFFERED SALARY]. [CANDIDATE NAME] wants to negotiate to [TARGET SALARY] based on [JUSTIFICATION — e.g., market rate data, competing offer, experience level]. The email should: express genuine enthusiasm for the role and company to anchor positivity, clearly state the ask — the target salary — without hedging or apologizing, provide 1–2 strong reasons (market data or competing offer) without over-explaining, leave room for negotiation (don't make it ultimatum-like unless truly a firm position), and close by affirming excitement to join and asking about next steps. Tone: confident, warm, professional. Length: 180–230 words. Subject line included. Do not use 'I feel' or apologetic language.
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
