You didn't realize those words would be so terrifying until you heard them out loud. You simultaneously felt a sense of relief that you finally got a job offer and a sense of dread as you realized you didn't know what to do next.
It doesn't feel right to simply accept their first offer. What if you leave money on the table?
So that means you should negotiate! But what if they retract the offer? Then what? All that work for nothing? That's a scary prospect.
Fortunately, there is a method you can use to tactfully negotiate your job offer without seeming greedy so you don't leave money on the table.
That method is Fearless Salary Negotiation, a valuable bundle of my essential resources, including a book, worksheets that do all the math for you, templates to help you say and write all the right things, and amazing bonuses to really help drive it all home so you get paid what you're worth.
The result? She made an additional $15,000 in base salary by negotiating her job offer.
Ashley was interviewing for a new consulting opportunity at a software company. Her old company was going through a significant reorganization, and she was looking for a new opportunity in a more stable working environment. She was even willing to accept a lateral move in pay to get out of the old company and into a new one. She wasn't planning to negotiate if they made her an offer that matched her current salary.
We scheduled a time to talk and I asked her some questions:
She was in a very strong negotiating position, but didn't even plan to negotiate if they could meet her current salary! With a little bit of coaching, she decided to negotiate rather than accepting a lateral move.
We began by focusing on how should could answer each interview question to position herself as the candidate for the job. That helped her get a stronger job offer with more room to negotiate.
Once she had a strong offer in hand, she used the Fearless Salary Negotiation method to negotiate from a position of strength, building on the momentum she built during her interviews.
The best part? You can use the same Fearless Salary Negotiation method Ashley used over and over throughout your career when you change jobs and you can use it at your current job. It's easy and repeatable.
If you could negotiate a $5,000 increase, you would make $5,000 more that first year. And you would make $5,000 the next year, and the next year, and the next year. Over 20 years, that $5,000 salary increase would be worth more than $100,000. That’s a lot of money to leave on the table out of frustration or fear.
Fearless Salary Negotiation is your ultimate guide to tactfully negotiating your job offer without leaving anything on the table... and so much more! You'll also learn how to estimate your market value, ace your job interviews, and get raises and promotions when you're ready!
