Many people stop at "no" in a salary negotiation

Many people stop at "no" in a salary negotiation.

You get the gusto to ask for 15% more, they refuse or don't budge, and then you quietly accept or move on, right?

If this has happened to you, here's a 3-step approach (and the third step is a salary-saver)

Instead of giving up hope for your ideal number, try this:

1. Bring data and comparison values to help support your request

2. Express your enthusiasm and future vision of how you'll be able to deliver results for this team and company (do your best to estimate in numbers) -- and ask if they feel the same.

If so...

3. Ask how you can make a plan to reach your ideal number. Have them create it with you with measurable benchmarks that make sense and a clear timeline.

Get on the same side of the table with your hiring manager.

You're worth it.

SHOW them that in the way you negotiate, too.


You've GOT this.
