How a session works

Three steps, about ten minutes

  1. Set the scene. New offer, raise, promotion or a competing offer to match. Tell it what is on the table, what you want and what leverage you have.
  2. Pick who you face. A recruiter with limited authority, a fair manager, or a hardball "the offer is the offer" who uses deadlines.
  3. Get the scorecard. Scored on Anchoring, Evidence, Outcome and Poise, with the single line that cost you the most.

Your #1 priority: Anchoring Naming a range lets the other side pick the bottom of it.
Missed moment
“I was hoping for something in the $90 to $100 range.”

A range gives the manager permission to land at the low end, and they did.

Try instead: “Based on the market data and the Q3 savings I led, I am looking for $97,000.”

Your next drill: say your number first, with one reason, then stop talking for five seconds.

What the other side will try

  • The budget excuse. “That's outside the band for this level.” The practice teaches you to ask what the band is and what moves it.
  • The deadline. “I need an answer by Friday.” It tests whether you panic or hold your position.
  • Splitting the difference early. It rewards you for naming a number with a reason and punishes "whatever is fair".
  • Silence after your number. Most people fill it by lowering their ask. You will practice sitting through it.
  • The package pivot. When base is stuck, the counterpart offers a signing bonus, PTO, title or an earlier review. Knowing which to trade is part of the score.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does the AI know my number?

No. It knows the job and what is on the table, and has a private budget it will not reveal. You find its limit the way you would in a real negotiation.

Is this financial or career advice?

No. It is practice for the conversation. The scorecard grades how you negotiated, not whether the number was right for you.

Can I practice a raise with my current boss?

Yes. Choose "Asking my current boss for a raise", describe your impact, and pick the kind of boss you expect.
