Dear

Negotiation of salary is depending upon what you have to offer to employer. Read job description and required skill sets check with you

1-is you have these skills

2-you have practical on job experience of those jobs

3- Are you aware with problem and solutions with required job.  

4-it will be cherry on cake if you have academic qualification related to target job.

If your answer is “Yes” for above first 3 you can negotiate for good salary if your answer is “Yes” for all above 4 you can negotiate for few more from current market trend but do not ask for any impractical figure.

 

Warm Regards

Anurag

Negotiation is one of the things we practice constantly. Researchers in psychology have long studied human methods of negotiation in various walks of life. The concept of negotiation is defined as a process aimed at reaching acceptable solutions or an agreement that contributes to the interest of two or more parties with a common position. One of the situations in which one needs the skill and art of negotiation is the question of negotiating the salary that most people find a very difficult task.The skills of negotiation are to shorten the use of strategies and techniques with skill to achieve the goal, such as the ability to persuade and employ good information, intelligence and maneuver depending on the situation, and the skill of persuasion of vital skills is important to complete the negotiation process successfully.Salary negotiation techniques:All of us seek a better salary. But some may not know the basics of negotiating a salary, so they lose their chance to get the salary they deserve. We will show you the following 6 techniques that are the outcome of studies that have continued for years and will definitely be a good start in negotiating the salary you deserve.1. The pre-negotiation phaseAll battles are won or lost before they run, so the pre-negotiation stage is very important. Prepare yourself well by securing alternatives and knowing the value of your job in the market.Securing the alternative is necessary for two reasons, the first on the personal level, because it gives you other options if they reject what you ask for, and the second is that it makes them think twice before refusing because they know you have alternatives. Knowing the value of your job in the market means knowing the average salary of people working in your area of ​​expertise.If you do not have this information, you will either ask for a large or modest number.You may be interested: Do you want to increase your salary? Discover the law of exchange2. Set your expectationsBefore starting to negotiate a salary you have to determine the minimum salary you can accept. Do not disclose this minimum during negotiation with the employer. Then set a realistic salary based on job responsibilities in addition to the salary of a similar job holder with qualifications similar to your qualifications.3. Do not show your weakness and hesitationA sense of power can bring you what you want, and it helps you make better decisions. Negotiating a salary is a stage of psychological torment that involves a lot of tension and hesitation. You find yourself wondering if you have asked for much, or little, or if what you ask will make the other party feel insulted.Your feeling of strength will make you feel confident about any number you require especially, and that most salary negotiations fail because the employee is afraid and hesitant.There are many techniques that help you feel power, but the simplest and easiest way is to think of a situation where you have already felt strong and will experience immediate change.4. Understanding not feelingUnderstand the other party you negotiated and stay away from trying to "understand his feelings". His feelings do not interest you in any way; because you have to make the analysis here.Does the company, for example, operate according to a strict salary policy but is more flexible with bonuses? Do they rely on the principle of premium exclusion versus other staff alternatives?When you have attended yourself, you probably have the answer, you are now required to come up with the best deal that suits both parties. Understanding the point of view of the other not only helps you know the number you will put, but you can offer solutions if your initial offer was rejected.Knowing what they need is rational and logical, but trying to understand their feelings will make them stronger. Engaging in emotions will either make the other party use you, or you will find yourself abandoning things that should not be abandoned.5. Provide the best offer firstAccording to the studies, people who offer the offer first usually get their goal. At this point you have an idea of ​​the salaries of the employees who work in your field, so you have to make your offer and not wait for their offer.

The question about salary is not a good idea. It is best to let the interviewer ask you and your answer of course will be to tell them the values of work that you adopt and show how your personal goals and goals of the company are consistent together.

Well in this case, the power of negotiation comes from the level of self confidence. Before negotiating your salary, weigh these things first How much your profile matches the job description? How do u rate urself during interview? Did the recruiter say anything about the monthly package involved? Apart from monthly salary what are the other perks involved? How much is the raise u will be asking on ur current salary? Now if u r sure that the interview has reached the stage for salary discussions, u may face the question "What's your salary expectations"? Convey your message in a specific bracket and make sure you have all reasons clear for demanding this salary. From the recruiter perspective, if the candidate is right, then won't haggle around too much. They will try to strike a win win
