The 6 Major Tips on How to Negotiate a Higher Salary include:
Tip # 1: Talk about your value – bring up evidence that prove why you’re worth what you’re worth.
Tip #2: Do market research – know what the market is paying for someone with your credentials and level of experience.
Tip #3. Give a number, not a range – many people are afraid to offend the employers and give a range for what salary they’d be open to. This is not the way to go.
Tip #4. Go in with leverage – you want to leverage everything you can to enhance your chances of getting that bump in pay.
Tip #5. Time it appropriately – if you’re in a job offer situation vs. asking for a raise, you need to know the right timing on when to bring up your salary expectations
Tip #6. Be humble and polite, yet confident.
