Ladies, do you have any examples to share of when you negotiated for something at work and got what you wanted? I have a tough convo tomorrow and could use some positivity/inspo! 🙏🏻✨✨

Asked for professional development budget. Was first told it didn't exist, but still got $500 for the pd opportunity I wanted to fund by explaining the benefit to the firm.

Stop selling when you get to yes.

I often thought there would be pushback when I pitched an idea or negotiated something. Usually I was so prepared I had thought through most of the areas where there would be questions and come up with a solid response should it get raised.

When I would then pitch, I’d lay out my persuasive business case. Most times I got an immediate yes and didn’t need 90% of the prep work I had done.

Take the yes, thank them once, then exit the conversation. Chase it with a quick thank you note outlining what you both agreed to.

Then go celebrate.
