"No company will ever ...EXCELLENT information! "No company will ever pay you what you think you're worth; you have to demand it." I remember sitting across from my Director's Director last year and told her the amount I was worth to my company. Guess what? She did not flinch or blink an eye. She agreed and unfortunately was unable to "bump me up" that much in my company. I did earn a $20k increase (YES in a recession) and am doing everything I can to double that salary in under 2 years. We do not have to just accept what life gives. Lisa, YOU have this science figured out. I'm looking forward to seeing you work with more women to EMPOWER them with the ammo they need for their breakthroughs! This case study is an excellent example.Montina Portishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274288000520168176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193380356536628256.post-75735495716924353372009-11-20T14:30:34.367-05:002009-11-20T14:30:34.367-05:00This is a great post about the power of confidence...This is a great post about the power of confidence and the belief in yourself.

I'm really not surprised because when you negotiate an intial salary, the employer doesn't start at the top end. They usually start at the lowest point of the pay grade. That gives them a lot of flexibility for counter offers. <br /><br />You make a great point. I talked about asking for money, but it doesn't apply to just money. My baby girl has ALWAYS asked for what she wants and, like your son, usually gets it. On the other hand, I have a daughter who prefers to play the victim with a sense of entitlement. And, let me tell you, that gets her absolutely nothing, from me or anyone else. <br /><br />Go ahead, speak your mind, and bring those other things to your employer's attention.Lisa Maria Carrollhttp://www.singlemomandmore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193380356536628256.post-74799171878134869322009-11-19T10:00:10.018-05:002009-11-19T10:00:10.018-05:00This post is very timely for me.

I am guilty of keeping my mouth closed and waiting until I'm asked about what I want.<br /><br />Recently I did get a raise because I initiated it. They happily gave me one. I am planning a couple other things to bring to their attention soon.<br /><br />One thing that my son does and which I'm trying to teach my daughter is to ask for what you want. He is not fearful or expecting a no. He knows exactly what he wants and he get it (most of the time). <br /><br />My daughter on the other hand is fearful and too often expects not to get what she wants. So she doesn't ask and she still doesn't get it. Ironic, huh?Samanthahttp://richsinglemomma.comnoreply@blogger.com
