Salary Negotiation Scripts (UK edition)

You want to ask for more, but you don't want to sound greedy or put the offer at risk. So the offer gets accepted on the phone, and the pay-rise conversation waits for a better moment that doesn't come. That costs more than it looks: the salary you accept is the base every later rise is built on.

Salary Negotiation Scripts gives you the words for the moments that decide your pay, and the reply to each "no". It is written for UK workplaces: pounds, pensions, holiday, notice periods and hybrid days.

THE HANDLE

Number, Evidence, Ask. Know three numbers before the conversation, bring the reasons, say the number and ask a question. Then stop talking. Every script follows that order.

WHO IT IS FOR

Anyone in the UK with a job offer on the table, a pay review coming up, or a promotion they want to ask for.

GOOD TO KNOW

This is a set of scripts and worksheets, not legal or financial advice. The notes on UK rights reflect Great Britain in October 2026. I used AI to help draft and structure the scripts, then reviewed and edited them, so treat them as starting points and change the words until they sound like you. I have spent the best part of twenty years leading teams, from supervisor to Senior Store Manager.
