Before you send it
- Lead with enthusiasm or commitment before the number so the message does not feel transactional.
- Name the evidence behind your ask: scope, results, market range, or competing offer.
- Ask for a discussion when flexibility is uncertain instead of forcing an ultimatum too early.
