Salary Negotiation Letter
Sometimes it's necessary to write a salary negotiation letter to clarify your position and ask for higher salary. While we at Springraise Salary Negotiation recommend you do as much negotiation as possible in person, over the phone, through a recruiter, or even an HR rep from the company you're interviewing with--a letter can be a powerful way to justify your request for more money.
If you must write a salary negotiation letter, it must achieve two goals:
1. Justify your request for higher salary
Justification of a higher salary request can be difficult because there are few external sources that a company will consider valid to justify your request. There are some great pieces of information that companies do use including salary surveys. These surveys are sold to companies so they can get a sense of what competitive salaries are at different levels. If you have that report, then you have equal ground.
2. Convey that you're willing to walk away from the offer
Positioning in negotiation is key. The ultimate power in a salary negotiation is walking away. Companies spend thousands of dollars to get people in the seats to interview. When they like someone, they WANT that person. If you are that person and there's a credible threat that you'll walk away, companies tend to negotiate. Let me make this clear:
***It is cheaper for them to increase your salary than it is for them to keep looking for candidates.***
I have hired many people throughout the course of my career and this is generally accepted law, not theory. It's a secret employers don't want you to know! So have confidence and don't be afraid to actually walk away if the salary isn't right.
