Salary Negotiation Prep: Market Rate, Your Floor, and the Words to Open With

A salary negotiation prep template for anyone with an offer conversation coming up who needs the market rate for the role, a walk-away number, and the exact words to open the ask. The whiteboard holds a target-and-floor panel, a grid that breaks each offer into base pay, hours, bonus, and real hourly rate, and a 5W1H layout (What, Why, Who, When, Where, How) for building how you raise the number. The kanban runs five columns, from market research to agreed and closed, with five parent tasks and 13 subtasks waiting, from gathering evidence to getting the terms in writing. Settling the market number and the floor in advance means the offer call stops being improvised, and you know exactly what to say, and in what order, before the answer deadline.
