Wait! What About
the Recession?
You can work towards a raise
during a
recession: learn how to establish and
communicate your value over time, so when the
economy cycles back up, you'll be well-positioned
to ask for and get a raise. Can't wait? The
Raise Workbook also gives scripts for negotiating
time off in lieu of money when the budget is tight.
When It Comes to Asking For Money...
...it's different for women. We're not socialized to ask the way men are. So
while men value from the workbook's step-by-step pay raise process, women get
extra value from the gender-specific tips for acing negotiating behaviors that
make asking for a pay raise easier.
The Pay Raise Process Gets You Higher Pay
Lots of people (women and men) don't know that there is
a process to getting a raise. Result?
They're missing out on their pay potential.
Does that include you? It's time
to ditch “take it or leave it”
or “winging it” as a
salary negotiation plan. Now you can
follow a well-defined path to your next
raise.
And if
a pay raise gets stalled, learn how to get
telecommuting or a four-day workweek,
added vacation time off and other pay-offs
instead.
Get More Than a Pay Raise; Get a “Salary
Adjustment”
If you're earning below market value
for your job (find out in Chapter 1), learn how to get a “salary
adjustment” in Chapter 2. Some prior workbook users have
done the steps to get pay adjustments of 15%
or more. That is far
better than the standard pay raise (3% to
5%, the latter in better economic times).
“By
doing your Raise Workbook, I prepared a
statement of my measurable
accomplishments as well as market
information for our area. I used some of
the verbiage in the workbook. My boss
immediately agreed that this was long
overdue; I received a $5.00 per hour
raise [$10,000/year]...I won't wait so
long next time!”
Judy Mitnick, MS, RD, Virginia
I wrote the first version of the workbook
for registered dietitians as a self-study
module, and have since received email
reports of raises from $4000 ($2/hour more) to a hefty $14,000
($7/hour more) after applying the content. The pay raise process works!
This 64-page workbook is packed with
strategies, specific negotiating steps
and action-oriented worksheets and
checklists, so it's an
instructional guide and a
career-management tool, too.
Use the Workbook to Get a Big Salary Jump in
a NEW Job
“Your
workbook gave me the confidence to ask
for what I wanted. Using the strategies
to negotiate pay in response to a new
job offer, I was able to reach the top
of the position's salary range—a nearly
25% pay increase from the position I
left. Thank you!”
Laura
Koller, RD, LDN, CDE
