Offer & Negotiation Coaching

Two sessions wrapped around a live offer: decode the package, set the counter, script the conversation, rehearse it - then debrief the result.

The most expensive minutes of your career are the ones just after "we would like to make you an offer". Most people negotiate them in a state of grateful panic, which is how a decade of compounding starts $10,000 low.

Session one happens when the offer (or the strong signal) arrives: we run the package through the Offer Decoder - base, bonus, equity, benefits, the true annual value against your current role - then set the counter-range, the order of asks, and the exact sentences. You rehearse until the number comes out of your mouth without flinching.

Session two is the debrief and close: evaluating the revised offer, deciding cleanly, and - when the answer is yes - starting strong. Median outcome across our negotiation clients since 2023: $14,600 over the first written offer. The two-session fee has been, for most clients, the best-returning $450 of their professional life.

FAQ

Good questions

What if negotiating makes them pull the offer?

A respectful, evidence-based counter essentially never costs a real offer - recruiters expect it, and data-backed asks read as competence. What can sour a process is ultimatum energy or bluffing, which is exactly what scripting and rehearsal remove.

Is it worth it for a small raise?

A $5,000 improvement is not $5,000: raises, bonuses and your next offer all compound from base. Five thousand at 35 is commonly six figures by retirement. Yes - it is worth it.
