Part 1. 

Understanding Leverage

Leverage is the key to negotiating success.  When our clients understand leverage, they are more likely take on the challenge of protecting their salary data.

Preparing for Salary Negotiations

We will cover where to find salary data, how to ask contacts and colleagues about salary information in a non-intrusive manner and explore the secrets of the 990.

Handling Salary Data Requests

Clients are constantly being asked to disclose salary history and salary requirements in cover letters and online applications.  We will explore strategies to handle these inquiries.

Working with Recruiters

Recruiters are a special case, with special rules.  We will discuss how to determine what type of recruiter the client is dealing with and what type of information to share.

Part 2. 

Getting Through the Interview

Everyone knows that you shouldn’t give out your salary history or requirements in the interview, but what is a client supposed to say when asked?  Learn the “Salary Dodge Three-Step” and your clients will know exactly how to handle those tricky questions.

Don’t say “yes”!  At least, not right away.  We will cover what to do when the client gets an offer, and how to set up the salary negotiation.
