Negotiations Consulting
There’s always something to negotiate.
Careers are made up of negotiations, large and small. Among the most important negotiations are those around a job offer or promotion. This is a moment of opportunity, when your leverage is at its maximum and you want to get the best agreement. I can help you think through your negotiating strategy so that you’re confident that you’re getting the best deal possible.
What do you want to negotiate?
• I’m interviewing for a job and it seems like there will be an offer soon.
• I’m embarking on a job search and want to be ready to handle salary questions in interviews and on online applications, as well as the final offers.
• I’ve been offered a raise or a promotion and I’d like my boss to improve the package.
• I’m ready for a raise or a promotion, and want to be prepared to make a compelling case.
• I have the opportunity for an internal move or relocation and would like to negotiate the best possible outcome.
• My company is in the midst of a reorganization, and whether I stay or go, it’s going to require me to negotiate.
• I’m facing a layoff and want to negotiate the best severance package possible.
Negotiation consulting is intended to help you prepare and execute a negotiation strategy. The goal of these consultations is for you to be:
• aware of your leverage;
• clear on what you are asking for;
• prepared with the appropriate talking points; and
• ready to offer fallback positions.
I cannot guarantee any specific outcome as a result of this consulting process, but I can ensure that you are in the best position to negotiate effectively.
