Salary Negotiation Essentials
Page 18 of 12
Your free report includes expert advice tailored to your needs including:
  • Essential salary negotiation techniques
  • Effective job search strategies
  • How to make a successful career change
  • Relocation plan
Checklist:
  • Do your homework. This salary report gives you the information you need to be prepared.
  • Pick a reasonable goal. Figure out your budget for the next one to two years to determine what you really need to make.
  • Identify your ideal goal. Once you know how much you really need, you can calculate your ideal salary. Obviously this ideal number needs to be grounded in reality. Keep in mind that raises very rarely exceed 10-15%.
  • Start high. Salary negotiations for employees aren't exactly the same as for a prospective employee. But some of the same advice applies. If you're going to put a number out first, go higher, closer to your ideal. This gives you and your employer more room to negotiate.
  • Be patient. When your employer gives you a number, sit tight. Don't jump to accept or reject. Amazingly, silence alone can sometimes lead to a greater offer.
  • End on a good note. Regardless of the offer, end on a positive note. Take what you've learned to negotiate a better deal next time.
  • Thank your manager. If you got the raise that you were looking for, your negotiations are complete. Accept graciously. Even if you didn't get exactly what you were looking for, remember that negotiation is an ongoing process.
Employer Point Your Counterpoint
"Technically you're still at this level even though you're doing work a level (or two) above."
All the information you need to make important salary and career decisions.

"Let's review my job description." Make sure that your actual duties are aligned with the description as written.

  • If you are working at another level, you should be paid accordingly.
"Times are tight. I can't pay you anymore." "Based on the points I've made, do we agree that I deserve some additional compensation for the work that I'm doing? What can you give?"
  • Identify your particular negotiation strengths and play them up.
"The additional qualifications you're highlighting (like education) aren't relevant to this job." "All of my skills, experience, etc. are what enable me to perform my job so well."
  • Be prepared to discuss how each qualification supports your performance.
"I don't have the authority to give you any more." "But you agree that I'm worth more than my current salary? How much are you authorized to give? Who is authorized to increase my raise?"
  • If you can get your employer to agree that your salary request is reasonable, they can help make your case to the decision maker.
"We don't have money in our budget to afford this kind of raise."
 "Could you afford to lose me? How much would it cost to replace me?"
  • You don't want to play hardball and put your employer on the defense--and don't go too far in suggesting you have plans to leave your current job if you don't--but it is a valid point that it would likely cost your employer far more to recruit and train a new employee than to give you a raise. Due to a phenomenon called "salary compression," it's common that new employee starting salaries increase at a rate greater than employee salaries. If your company is hiring, than they likely can afford to give your raise a bump up.
Learn how to handle challenging salary conversations.


Get a Raise

Even if the facts initially seem discouraging, there's still always room for salary negotiation: While pay raises in 2009 appear to be the lowest they've been in three decades, with average workers likely to see no more than a 3% salary hike, that doesn't mean that you won't be getting a raise. Every situation is unique. Different industries show greater compensation increases. And even if you're in an industry that is stagnant, your experience and accomplishments could earn you a raise greater than the norm.
