CAREER EDUCATION. How to negotiate 10-50% more money in an interview

Money! Here's what this is all about. Unfortunately the owners of businesses don't hire just to give you their money. The surest way not to get a job is to call and ask how much is paying. The second best way to lose at work is to ask how much you will be paid in the first interview.
Either wait for the final interview or until you have received a job offer. In addition, the research sector should already give an indication of what to expect.
How to ask for moreOnce that has been offered the job, now is the time to talk about money. Depending on you applied for the job and organization there can be no room to negotiate. Just may have to take what is offered. The two choices open to you in this case are to put up with it or find a company that is willing to pay more for your skills.
The next section applies only if you think you are worth more, or want to earn more than what you are currently being paid.
If you were an employer and you have $ 60,000 allocated as a salary for a new employee, you would provide the potential employee all your $ 60,000? Or would have offered $ 50,000 to see if they can, in which case you've just saved yourself $ 10,000?
So, keeping this in mind, when asked how much you were earning at your last location, respond sincerely and then explain part of the reason for leaving was because they wanted the opportunity to earn more. That you felt your skills and contributions to society were not be rewarded, hence the reason for applying to this job.
It is important to demonstrate soon because you think you are worth more. Carry case history to save the company X% or increasing sales or service while you were there.
"We were thinking of a package of salary of $ 50,000. How does that sound? " You hear this when you ask them what is the salary for the job or simply can say. The 3 ways to manage this are:
1. Say NOTHING. This tactic once added $ 50 a week to my salary. OK, that is not much, but it's an extra $ 2,500 that year and I don't have to ask for it. A good 2 minutes of work. The reason that this tactic works is because people generally don't like silence. When you say nothing that the employer can say that their offer is less than you expected. Saying nothing obliges the employer to make possibly another offer; bid a little closer to what you had in mind.
2. explain that they had to earn more money in your last position and wait at least that. If that does not apply to you, tell them the salary you want more than a few thousand dollars more. The reason for this is--if you ask for too little you cannot negotiate up, you can only get what you asked for or negotiate down. You don't have any space to move around. But, if you ask for more of what you want to have room to move downwards. Chances are that you can get what you asked which is more than you originally wanted. Accept the offer, provided that they meet again in 3 or 6 months for a pay review.
3. explain that you have skills that really will benefit the company and you are willing to work for less than what would normally be accepted on the understanding that in x months time gather again to renegotiate your salary package. You're taking a bit of risk away from them.
OK-now hang on to your hats-here is a lateral thinking to yourself: can always get paid on the basis of the results ...
Depending on the type of position you have requested, if the salary is not up to your standards then ask for a share of the profits, increased sales in a certain area or a share of savings. If your company is spending $ 50,000 in a certain area and you can save $ 15,000 (for example) you could ask for a one-time payment of half the savings ($ 7,500). (After all, they are better off by $ 15,000 each year because of your idea.)
The same thing could apply if you can help to increase sales and productivity. You don't need to be a vendor to do it.
I remember a story of a Secretary in Illinois or Ohio who worked for a sausage making society. He thought it would be neat to sell sausages to match, so he brought the idea to his boss. The boss said OK and she now heads up a business of sausage multimillion dollars per match. Oh yes, she is paid much more than when she was a Secretary.
Use them as an example for you to be paid more ... If the money you are offering are less than you want or need and doesn't seem like you're going to get what you're asking, try saying something like this:
"I wanted your company and i know that the widget they sell and the services provided are not the cheapest on the market. Why is that? " They go ahead and tell you about their quality and service and competence and as be higher than the rest, etc.
That would answer: "well, the same thing applies in my case. I'm not saying that other people can't do my job for less. All I'm saying is that, like you, I offer (insert your skills & experience etc ... here) and are always learning and improve skills, which can be of maximum value to you and your customers. "
Then say nothing and see what follows. You can always accept what they are offering with a review in 3 months or so if this tactic fails.
If the company is the cheapest on the market, then you may be in trouble with the previous example so you may need to point out that, if you can work more quickly and efficiently, etc ... then it saves the company money. They can pay more for this.
. 'S last resort. If all else fails and they do not meet your salary expectations, do not take the job. This could make them pay what you want, otherwise you will not be. The fact is that you have to be happy with the salary you're offered not otherwise there is little work is there?
If you can prove that the employer why you're worth the money and you can see that there is no way I'll make for less, refusing the work may be what it takes for them to meet your needs. Shows them that you are serious about what you can do and the money that you think you're worth.
If you think they will let go is unrealistic. Perhaps one of their competitors will appreciate your skills and you pay the money you want.
But remember this: do not get what they deserve. You get what you negotiate.
