This simple, 5-step system will guide you, step-by-step, through the negotiation process, so you’ll know when to ask, how to ask, how much to ask for, how to overcome nervousness, and what to get in writing.

But now that you understand what this system can do for you, you might still have a few questions.

 

The system covers a lot of stuff. Is it as complicated as it sounds? No way. Actually, it’s quite simple. You only have to remember 5 simple little rules or “steps.” I spell them out in plain English.

"No magic or miracles promised, just some old-fashioned horse-sense for understanding and navigating the salary-negotiating game..."

Am I going to have to memorize a bunch of stuff? Nope. You only have to remember 5 rules. And you can even practice. (That makes it easier to remember.)

I don’t want to sound like a dork. You’re not going have me say stuff that sounds “canned,” are you? Heck, no! I’ll give you some suggestions of what to say, but then I’ll help you adapt it to your own way of talking, so it will sound really natural.

How do I know that this system will work for ME? How can one system cover EVERY situation? You can adapt each of the 5 simple steps to almost any salary negotiation situation. Also, in the system, I give a lot of examples of adapting the system to fit all kinds of situations. Chances are pretty good (about 99% certain) that no matter what comes up during your negotiations, I’ve covered it in my system. I have to be honest with you, though. I can’t 100% guarantee that this will work for you. No system can guarantee that. But this will give you an excellent shot at making better money and getting better benefits. It’s worked for lots of other people, and it will probably work for you, too. (And if it doesn’t, you’ll get your money back.)

What makes you so sure it’ll work for MY job? Because in almost every job, the employer is willing to pay you what you are worth to them. They realize that some people might be more valuable to them than others – even those who are working in the same position. Generally, the more you show them you are worth to them, the more they’ll be willing to pay you. This system helps you show the employer how much you are really worth. It’s the same no matter what your job is. If you can prove you work harder, faster, better, or more efficiently than average, then you’re worth more to your employer, and they’ll be willing to pay more to keep you.

Does your system have any disadvantages? Yes, it does have one. You have to actually spend the time learning the system. Fortunately, the system is very simple (only 5 steps), so it doesn’t take that long to learn.

How long will it take me to learn to use your system? Most clients find that they can learn it in one evening.

This isn’t going to waste my time, is it? As I said, you’ll probably be able to learn the system in 1 to 2 days. And negotiating usually takes only a few minutes – certainly less than a half hour. For that small time investment, you’ll probably end up making thousands of extra dollars.

This sounds like some serious work. Why should I bother? Most people don’t do anything at all to prepare to negotiate their salary. They walk in like the balls in a foosball game...bouncing around hoping to hit a big score. But that rarely works! By using this system to prepare for your salary negotiations, you’ll have a big advantage, so you’ll be a lot more likely to score big!

What exactly am I going to have to do? All you’ll have to do is:
    --Order the book and any accompanying bonuses.
    --Download it.
    --Read through the system, and listen to the audio files.
    --Think about how you will apply it to your own job.
    --Think about exactly what words you will use to make it sound natural.
    --Practice saying those phrases. (Works even better if you practice with a friend.)

Then, after you’ve been offered the job, just do everything that you learned.

What are the 5 simple steps you keep talking about?

They are:
    1--Wait until you’ve been offered the job to discuss money. (I give you lots of ways to stall...especially in Chapter 3.)
    2--Let them make an offer. (Chapter 4 holds all the juicy details on how to get your employer to go first.)
    3--Make your first response. (Chapter 5 explains how to respond in the right way, with the right counter-offer.)
    4--Make your second response. (I Chapter 6 how tells you to hold out for top dollar.)
    5--Clinch the deal, then deal some more. (That’s in Chapter 7. I’ll show you how to juggle offers from more than one employer, how to accept or decline an offer gracefully, and how to get it in writing.)

What else is in your system besides these 5 steps?

There’s a lot in there about:
    --Figuring out how much you’ll lose if you DON’T negotiate (Chapter 1).
    --Figuring out how much you’re worth to the employer (Chapter 2).
    --Negotiating benefits (Chapter 7).
    --Dealing with special situations (Chapter 8).
    --Negotiating stock options (Chapter 9).
    --Negotiating raises and dealing with salary reviews (Chapter 10).
    --Knowing when to break the rules (Chapter 11).
    --How to practice, so you won’t be so nervous (Chapter 12).

* How does your system compare to the other salary negotiating systems on the market? Just about any training in how to negotiate your salary will do you SOME good. Most of the people who write these programs are dedicated professionals who sincerely want to help you succeed. I invite you to compare my system to theirs. MY system does have an advantage over most of the others, however. You’ll find mine very simple to learn and use – only 5 simple steps. Many of the other systems on the market are complicated and make you memorize tons of “lines.”

How much is this system REALLY worth?

Well, that depends on how well the negotiations go. Some people use it and make an extra $1,000 a year and a couple of extra benefits. Some executives use it and get an extra $300,000 per year. It depends on your job and your employer, mostly. But whether you make an extra $1,000 or an extra $300,000, you’ll pay only a tiny percentage of that for the system.

What if it backfires? What if my employer gets angry?

I admit, the whole situation might feel a little tense. It’s much easier to just sit back and let them tell you how much they’ll pay you and be done with it. But think of how much you’ll lose if you do that. Relax. They’ve already offered you the job. That means they want you. They’re not going to take that away just because you negotiate for a fair salary. And they’re certainly not going to offer you less just because you ask for more. Also, I give you some very diplomatic ways to go about asking. (I cover some of this in Chapter 3.) Plus, I give you special instructions to follow if the employer becomes difficult or angry. (That’s in Chapter 10). Follow my advice, and you won’t say anything offensive.

 

 
I don’t know if I can do this. What if I get nervous and freeze up?

It’s normal to feel nervous before you do something new. If you don’t feel confident that you’re good at it, then you’ll feel nervous. The key is to practice, so you’ll feel really confident. In Chapter 12: Practice and Coaching, I walk you through the process of practicing. Practice will help you get rid of the heebie-jeebies.

Why should I believe that you know what you’re doing?

That’s a fair enough question. I’ve been teaching these proven techniques since 1984. I’ll show you, step-by-step, what to do and say to get every salary and benefit you deserve. I don’t like to toot my own horn, so I’ll let someone else tell you about me.

Well, that does it.

 

I think I’ve done about as thorough a job as I possibly can telling you about the book.
