Negotiation Script Builder

Help me build a salary negotiation script.

The offer:
- Base salary offered: [AMOUNT]
- My target salary: [AMOUNT]
- Role: [JOB TITLE]
- Company: [COMPANY NAME]

My leverage:
- Other offers: [YES/NO -- DETAILS IF YES]
- Unique skills: [WHAT MAKES ME HARD TO REPLACE]
- Market data: [WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS]
- Timeline pressure: [ANY DEADLINES]

Build a negotiation script that covers:
1. Opening: How to express enthusiasm while signaling
   I want to discuss compensation
2. Anchoring: How to state my target number with justification
3. Evidence: How to reference market data and my value
4. Handling pushback:
   - "That's above our budget"
   - "We don't negotiate for this level"
   - "This is our final offer"
   - "You'd be at the top of the range"
5. Alternatives if base salary is firm:
   - Signing bonus
   - Performance bonus
   - Equity/stock options
   - Extra PTO
   - Remote work flexibility
   - Professional development budget
   - Title upgrade
6. Closing: How to wrap up professionally regardless of outcome

Include exact phrases I can use, not just strategies.
Tone: Confident, collaborative, not adversarial
