Find Out Exactly What to Say When They Ask Your Salary Expectations
"What are your salary expectations?" sounds like a simple question. It isn't.
It's the first move in a negotiation — and whoever gives a specific number first usually loses.
Say too low and you've anchored the conversation below your market value. Say too high without justification and you create friction before you've even started. Say "whatever is fair" and you look unprepared.
This free guide gives you the exact script — and what to say at every moment that follows.
What's inside
This free guide gives you the core script that keeps you from anchoring low, plus a research method to find your real market rate in 30 minutes
PLUS
the full step-by-step negotiation conversation — what to say before the offer, at the offer, when you counter, when they say there's no flexibility, and when they push back hard
This is you
1. Knowing you should negotiate but not knowing what to actually say when the moment comes
2. Afraid of sounding demanding or desperate — or giving a number that's too high or too low
3. Not knowing what to do if they push back or say there's no room on base
This should be you
1. Walking into the offer conversation with the exact script — and understanding why it works
2. Handling every moment of the negotiation with confidence instead of guesswork
3. Knowing what to say when they say no — because that's not the end of the conversation
