Quick points Say thank you for the offer. Do a thorough research about salary ranges. Say I'm super excited.etcetc Reveal your interest and promise to deliver successfully the same way as you have already done in the past company. Say why it's an investment and not an expense. ( Prove it, give examples etc) Understand the hiring managers limitations. Work on it together. Don't get adversarial, but give him power instead, take permission to discuss other matters. Respect opinions and decisions. And my 2 cents: first know your worth and potential, be ready to perform and play your role better than anyone there.

Great video. I’ve done this approach AND IT WORKS. It’s so important to establish a constructive rapport, without it you’ll get nowhere. I once was leaving a large company that had an excellent benefit package, I had been there for years with a great benefit package. I had found a job with a small start-up. After salary and stock options I went after vacation time and got an additional 3 weeks. And boy was I glad I did, after that first year stress filled year I needed a vacation! This is excellent advice. I hope everyone takes note.

The drawback of this way to negotiate salary is that you actually have to perform up to your promises. Something that is the harder to achieve the more you exaggarate. And if you CAN'T.. you pretty much hand them the reason to fire your ass. Not saying this is bad.. but you need to be aware that you also have to be able to provide what you're promising.

When the recruiter isn't budging, the "think of this as an investment" approach makes sense in sales-type positions, but may not be as compelling in other types of positions where the candidates value to the company/organization can't necessarily be measured in dollars. THEN what do you do??
@JosephOlaoye10 жыл бұрын
If what you do can't be measured in money, then why bother negotiating?
@smshh3310 жыл бұрын
Because I bring other value to the organization. Not every functioning organization is for profit, by the way. I guess I'm looking at it from a perspective of jobs that are not in sales/marketing, what have you. Like a position in office administration for example. Being the most qualified applicant for such a position does not involve making the most money for the company, but obviously they want someone who is the most competent. An administrative specialist can't say, "Give me 6 months to 'blow past these [sales] numbers' and then we can renegotiate a salary." Because that's not what their job entails. That's what I'm saying.

I followed this video and others Ramit word for word, practiced, rehearsed, stayed positive motivated, Did not want to undervalue myself. Talked to the Senior HR manager, the first time offer asked for 120,000 offer was 95,000. Said they would get back to me after I showed my data and research. They came back to me with a Solidified and final 95,000 offer did not negiotiate told me my data was wrong, when it was clearly in the 120000 to 130000 range, Glassdoor, pay scale, etc… I used the far from what my research suggests and told them I’m really excited for the opportunity, No sign of negiotiating, no reply, no flexibility, I declined. Felt embarrassed, I didn’t know how to carry myself after they kept telling me no change. I’d appreciate a video on how to handle when they absolutely will not negiotate with you. Didn’t work out they way I’d hope. Thanks for listening

I would imagine it best to give the right/accurate range in salary; however, if you feel you're really at the high end of the range, ask for $70k or so, and also explain why you are worth that. There are always outliers to any range and if you think you're worth the high end, ask for it. You'll more likely get to your $65k goal.

the main issue right now in the state of FL is i have a bachelors degree 15 years experienced and no employer wants to pay higher than $33,000 year to start. i am using these negotation techniques to get at least $40,000 year bc per my research even 40k is considered entry level pay in my field and thats per current market value and FL is already 15% behind the national average. i am worth median pay of at least 50k but no job would hire anyone that "high" at all so i am unable to negotiate a rate past 40k-45k. im struggling just to get a rate if 40k alone from every jobs undercut pay of being the max of 33-35k which is not a feasible wage to make ends meet.
