Importance of being prepared before a negotiation
As a professional it is likely you have participated in negotiations before, no matter your position or the industry you work in. Negotiating is also part of our day to day, but, we tend to have a weird relationship with it and we so often try to avoid it. That’s why in today’s episode, I’m sharing my philosophy of negotiation and how to leverage it.
Join me to learn how the process of negotiation works, and the things you need to do before negotiating that job offer, asking for a raise, or whatever it is you have in mind. It is important to know it’s all about the PACE of the negotiation and moving through it in a thoughtful way.
PACE stands for Prepare - Aware - Close - Evaluate and today you’ll be learning all about the key to success as a negotiator: Preparation!
