Salary negotiation tips

[isabel]

Help me with the right words for this. I want to negotiate this salary based on the benefits package not being quite as ideal, namely PTO and 401k benefits.

Also, the salary offered is on the low end of the range from glass door.

I want to make it clear that I am very interested and that the current situation isn't a deal breaker, but that I would be much happier with a slight increase. I'm asking for 9% more than they offered, but this is a really low salary, so it's not as crazy as it might sound.

So help me phrase this in the best way.
