| The
key to salary negotiation is information. You don't have to
be an expert, but you do need to understand the process and
strategies of negotiation. You are really not in a position
to negotiate until the employer is ready to make an offer
or actually makes an offer. Prior to that you must be aware
of: |
|
|
• Your Worth—How
important is this position within the organization? Research
the industry to identify important trends. Investigate salaries
of comparable positions within that company and their competitors.
Salary information can be obtained from internet sites (such
as www.salary.com and
www.salaryexpert.com),
recruiters, industry salary surveys, professional organizations,
job postings and networking contacts.
• Your Value—How will you contribute
to the profitability of the company? Throughout the interviewing
process, you must convey your skills, accomplishments, achievements
and interests relevant to the organizations needs and goals.
• Your Criteria—What is the
minimum salary and benefits you are prepared to accept.
Consider the entire compensation package in your decision.
Benefits can add up to 30% to your salary package. Negotiate
from a position of strength, not need or greed. Prepare
for objections with facts.
When
you are happy with the final proposal, ask for the offer
to be in writing. Request time to consider the offer; allow
at least 24 hours before responding. If you are rejecting
the final offer, send a courteous note and leave a positive
impression.
