Your negotiation script
Opening line
“Thanks — I'm genuinely excited about the offer. Before I sign I'd like to talk through the base salary.”
The ask
“Based on current market data for this role and stack, I'm looking for $158k base. Is there room to get there?”
If they push back
“I understand budgets are fixed — could we close the gap with a signing bonus or an early review at 6 months?”
Illustrative — scripts are built from your offer details and market salary data.
Every card is something members actually do inside Datamata — not a vague promise.

Ranked asks with target numbers and a justification for each one
Responses to the pushbacks you will actually hear — 'the budget is fixed', 'this is our best offer'
Quick start guide
Paste the offer details and what you want to improve — the more specific your leverage, the sharper the asks and the responses.
Include base, equity, signing bonus and benefits — the fuller the picture, the better the asks.
Tip: If you have a competing offer or market figure, add it — leverage sharpens every line of the script.
Name the one or two things you most want to improve and a target number for each.
Read the opening line aloud, scan the pushback responses then adapt the counter email and send it.
Run Offer Letter DNA first to understand what your offer is worth, then build the script to go get it.
