Prepare me to make a verbal offer to {{Candidate Name}} for {{Job Title}} at {{Company Name}}. THE OFFER: {{base, bonus, equity with its terms in plain numbers, start date, level, title}} WHAT THEY SAID THEY WANTED: {{their number, and whatever else came up — scope, manager, remote days}} WHAT THEY'RE WEIGHING IT AGAINST: {{other processes, a likely counter-offer, staying put}} WHERE THE FLEX IS: {{what I can move, what I can't, and who approves it}} WHO ELSE THEY NEED TO TALK TO: {{partner, family, a mentor}} Give me: 1. The first thirty seconds, with the number said out loud early and plainly. 2. How to walk through the equity so it's understood rather than oversold: what it is, what it isn't, and what I should refuse to predict. 3. Three questions that surface a real hesitation instead of a polite yes. 4. Responses to the two objections most likely here, given what I've told you. 5. What to agree before hanging up: when they'll decide, what they need from me, and when I'll call next. 6. What I must not say, including any deadline on the offer that isn't actually true. Talking points I can glance at, not a script to read out.
