Ready to drive your future forward? 

Then you’re in the right place! 

Let's step inside the Career Suite, where Career conversations begin with you!

 

Thank you for joining me today inside the Suite.  Today’s conversation is plain and simple.  If you want to negotiate more money, then you have to deliver more outcomes.  While your reason for wanting more money might be personal, for the organization hiring you, it’s strictly business.

  

Eight (8) steps to negotiating a better salary:

 

1.      Be prepared.

2.     Research the company and the marketplace. (Glassdoor, LI & Payscale)

3.     Know how your actions impacted outcomes at previous employers.

4.     Make sure your “value add” is included in your resume, on your LinkedIn profile and part of your interview.

5.     Review their benefits before they make an offer.

6.     Be ready to compromise.

7.     Remember, demonstrating your value is an ongoing process. Continuously strive to excel in your role, exceed expectations, and identify new ways to contribute and grow within the organization.

8.     Track your own progress; how else will you be ready for the next opportunity?
