Rehearse the salary conversation before it costs you fifteen thousand dollars.
Ask a general assistant to play the person who holds the budget and it folds the moment you push back — it is built to be agreeable. Real counterparties are not.
Your counterpart defends the budget, questions your numbers, uses silence, and pushes harder the moment you concede too early. You hear the objection you are not ready for while it is still safe to fumble it.
The methodology, the counterpart playbook and the scoring rubric are set up by people who studied this. A trained counterpart in sixty seconds instead of a blank chat you configure yourself — badly, at eleven at night, the day before the call.
When the rehearsal ends you are scored from 0 to 3 on the things that move money: your opening and anchor, whether you held your number, whether you asked instead of explaining, how you handled pressure, what you traded beyond the headline number, and how you closed. A blank chat has no rubric and no reason to be hard on you.
From your situation to a real rehearsal, in thirty minutes.
Seven questions about the negotiation in front of you: your numbers, your leverage, your walk-away point and what worries you. About five minutes, out loud.
Out loud, against a counterpart who plays the person across the table and does not go easy. One conversation, up to twenty-four exchanges, harder each time you hold your ground.
A short spoken debrief the moment the rehearsal ends, and a written summary to download: scores across six dimensions, the line that cost you money, and sentences ready for the real call.
One sitting. Seven questions, one rehearsal, one debrief.
Start my rehearsal~30 minNot a subscription. Not a bundle of minutes. One conversation, prepared properly.
Your numbers, your leverage and your walk-away point. The counterpart is chosen to press exactly where you are weakest.
Up to twenty-four exchanges, rising difficulty. About thirty minutes from the first question to the debrief. You need a microphone.
Scored 0 to 3 on six dimensions, with the specific line that cost you money, the techniques to use, and a summary file to keep.
Everything that was said, yours to revisit before the real call.
If it does not help, you get your money back. No form to fill in.
You can, and it will agree with you. A general assistant folds the moment you push back, has no rubric to score you against, and has no reason to be hard on you. Here the counterpart holds the budget line and the feedback tells you what it cost you.
Your counterpart negotiates for a living, and the gap between a good and a bad twenty-minute conversation is usually five figures. Services that do this with a human start at $1,250.
The questions take about five minutes, the rehearsal about twenty, the debrief two. One sitting, tonight.
You get one twenty-minute conversation to set what you are paid for the next two years. Have it once before it counts.
