Whether you're negotiating for a raise, a new title, or better work-life balance, this episode is your tactical roadmap. In Part 2 of this series, Meggie Palmer joins Lisa to break down what to say, how to say it, and most importantly, how to believe you deserve it.
- Prepare for any outcome. Every negotiation ends in Yes, No, or Maybe.
- Define your Wish, Want, and Walk figures before you walk into the conversation.
- Ask for more than money. Salary is just one part of your total life P&L.
- A No today does not mean No forever. Follow up, get creative, and stay in the conversation.
