Ok, I have two techniques, one for long runways when you are in no big hurry to vacate, the other for single runway airports like in Europe. My suggestion for the first condition:
1. Auto brake LOW
2. Stay on G/S
3. Thrust Levers abruptly to idle 30-40ft (not slow like a DC3).
4. Slow down your normal flare a bit.
5. As soon as you reach the end of flare, start lowering the nose.
If it's too hard for you to slow down your flare rate, stop your flare prior to completely stopping the sink, wait one second and then lower the nose, this technique may also keep you from having problems lowering the nose during spoiler deflection pitch up, good luck.
