Negotiating Pay & Benefits: A Script
#WESTnegotiating

"I've been waiting my whole professional career for something like this."  Julia Whitley, workshop attendee

Ann T. finally got an offer from her dream company and did not want to jeopardize it yet she knew she needed to play the entire hiring game and negotiate her pay.  She was happy she did.  With the knowledge she gained from my coaching she negotiated a salary package 15% higher than the initial offer. 

People who negotiate pay can earn an extra million dollars in their career.  Women are hearing this message and know they should negotiate.  Women are hearing about all the tactics and strategies they should use when negotiating.  Women are not hearing the answers to a very common concern. What do I say? This presentation answers that concern with scripts for the most common of situations in the manner of negotiation most comfortable and successful for women, the collaborative approach. Learn what to say to:

  1. Start the negotiation
  2. Promote accomplishments without bragging
  3. If the manager says no

Throughout the session, you will gain some insights into what management is thinking during the process.
