Negotiations: Be Deliberate About What You Want and Why Its In the Employers Best Interest

When negotiating, clearly articulate the value you bring to the employer and why you deserve the benefits you are asking for. Seek win-win solutions by offering something the employer values in exchange for your requests. Provide objective metrics and examples to support your proposals. Consider negotiating for opportunities to develop skills that benefit the company. If your position is weaker, discuss possibilities for future promotions or salary increases. Set clear goals and ask the employer to commit to them if you meet their conditions.
