Salary Negotiation: 6 Tips on How to Negotiate a Higher Salary

_____________
In this video, I will teach you 6 salary negotiation tactics on how to negotiate a higher salary for yourself, whether you’ve just received a new job offer or you’re wanting to ask for a raise in your current job. You will learn the salary negotiation techniques that I know work on how to negotiate a salary that is in line with your expectations.
_____________

There are many salary negotiation strategies, but it takes the right salary negotiation skills to get that bump in pay that matches what the market offers and what you’re worth.

The 6 Major Tips on How to Negotiate a Higher Salary include:

Tip # 1: Talk about your value - bring up evidence that prove why you’re worth what you’re worth.
Tip #2: Do market research - know what the market is paying for someone with your credentials and level of experience.
Tip #3. Give a number, not a range - many people are afraid to offend the employers and give a range for what salary they’d be open to. This is not the way to go.
Tip #4. Go in with leverage - you want to leverage everything you can to enhance your chances of getting that bump in pay.
Tip #5. Time it appropriately - if you’re in a job offer situation vs. asking for a raise, you need to know the right timing on when to bring up your salary expectations
Tip #6. Be humble and polite, yet confident.

Raised by hard working hourly people. I love them but I was never taught about negotiating for a better salary. Thank you so much! Great Advice!

To the “don’t give a range point”, i think there’s more nuance there. A range is very effective if you make sure the lower point is what you actually want. That way, when the recruiter offers the low-end, in true negotiation fashion, you can feel content in agreeing and both parties will feel satisfied - you got your money & they were theoretically able to save the their company a few thousands.

Linda, what are your thoughts about the job market in the lockdown environment and is salary negotiation different now? Thanks!

[DR-rwes]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I used your tips during my interview today and it went great. FINALLY feel like I'll get paid my worth. Always thought negotiating salary would offend employer but it went so well.

Be calm, confident, polite, do your research, and give a number not a range were THE BEST tips! You are so wise. Thank you for sharing these pearls of wisdom!!!

Thank you so much! I have a willing to settle number but my ideal number is $10k more than willing to settle. I risked it and said my ideal number. In the interview, they said it was high. I became worried. The next day, they decided to offer $2k less than my ideal number. I’m satisfied with that. So glad I gave my ideal number. Not saying that this will work for everyone. Maybe I underestimated my value and role in the company

[sfveggie]

In regards to salary range, I do love the suggestion to have an ideal number and willing to settle number - it seems that this could be the range. For instance, $100k (settle #)--$110k (ideal #) and this way one can get somewhere in between those two spots. Having one number doesn't really allow for negotiation nor does it take into account other factors - commission/bonus, equity, etc. Also, one question I have is when an employer doesn't give a range in the beginning. I'm currently interviewing and they haven't really given me any range or number and my fear is the offer will be way lower than I will take and the entire interview process will be a waste of time on both parts (this actually happened to a friend who wished she had brought up the salary earlier in the interview process). Suggestions for this situation?

I was just offered shift supervisor only been with the company 4 months.

They said they've been hearing great things about me and love how I work.

Im doing research on how to agree to the position and what's the difference.

Hi Linda,
Firstly I want to say what a true inspiration you really are. I found your video's upon searching. I watched basically every video numerous times, and you hit home truth. You're such an awesome, confident, calm and professional person, nothing fake, and I can relate so much to these video's. I had a few interviews and wasn't getting to the next stage, but after 3 interviews, and a salary negotiation, you've helped me land my ideal job, so I want to say a massive thank you for helping everyone, including myself! I really hope you continue to help other individuals. I will be carrying on watching your videos :D
