What\u2019s the easiest way to lose <\/span>half a million dollars<\/span><\/a> by the time you\u2019re 60? By never proactively negotiating your salary as a sales professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Decide on a salary negotiation strategy as soon as you begin your job search.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Avoiding negotiations could keep you working about <\/span>eight years longer<\/span><\/a> to make the same amount as your counterparts who do negotiate. So why wait?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most winning salary negotiations happen through <\/span>a competing or collaborating strategy<\/span><\/a>. In a study from <\/span>Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/a>, those who chose to negotiate their salary using these methods \u2014 rather than accepting the offer on the table \u2014 increased their starting pay by an average of $5,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be ready to articulate exactly why you deserve a higher salary.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Do your research and understand what other professionals in the same position you seek are making. Think through what you bring to the table that other professionals in your industry don\u2019t, then practice how you\u2019ll address your salary and initiate the conversation in the interview process. Know when and how to counter, and be prepared to walk away if the final offer doesn\u2019t represent your value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
