Counteroffer Email That Stays Warm and Specific
Prompt
The offer (base salary, bonus, benefits, start date, title): {{OFFER_DETAILS}}
What I'm asking for and the evidence behind it (salary data, a competing offer, specific skills, responsibilities beyond the ad): {{MY_ASK_AND_EVIDENCE}}
My walk-away point and what I'd accept instead of more salary (signing bonus, extra leave, earlier review, flexibility): {{FLEXIBILITY}}
Who I'm writing to: {{RECIPIENT}}
Write:
1. An email of 150-220 words: genuine enthusiasm first, then one clear ask with a specific figure, a brief reason based on my evidence, an alternative if the base can't move, and an easy next step (a call).
2. A subject line.
3. A short version I could say on a call.
4. What to reply if they say "this is our best offer", in two versions: one that accepts gracefully and one that asks for a non-salary item instead.
Rules: only mention a competing offer if I've listed one, and never exaggerate it. No ultimatums unless I've said I'll walk away. Keep the figures exactly as I give them.
