“The Offer”

Page 11: Salary negotiation

“The Offer” Things to remember:

• Most companies make fair and realistic salary offers

• It is not in their best interest to make “low ball” offers

• They want to hire the best candidate for the job

• High employee turnover is an added expense to the bottom line for the employer

• Translation = the “Offer” should be good!

Page 12: Salary negotiation

“The Offer”

• Anticipate objections to higher salary offers

• Be clear about your own value

• Be confident in your abilities, skills, professional experience and education

• Develop rebuttals to anticipate employers possible “excuses” for not wanting to raise salary levels

Discussing Salary History • Postpone this discussion as long as possible

• Discuss salary in future terms…. – “If I was to stay in my current positions the value

of my compensation package would be…” – “I would consider a salary range of…”

Negotiations

• Remember is not about winning, but about establishing mutual interests and goals

• Know where you can compromise

• Identity your possible competition

• Logically reiterate why you should be compensated at a greater level

Page 15: Salary negotiation

Counter Offers

Page 16: Salary negotiation

Counter Offers

• Investigate and determine your employer’s motivation

• Is it all about money?

• Will the underlying issues that motivated you to move be changing?

• Know that your loyalty will now be suspect and an attitude of negativity about your choice to leave may be present

• They may feel desperate to finish a project but may not be loyal to you and made the offer

• Do you really want to work for someone who only increased your salary because you were leaving?

• Take this offer as a complement and move on

Counter offers are offers from your current employers to

remain after you have announced intention to leave
