You will see most suggestions on job offers to negotiate job offers. In this video, I focus on negotiating counter quotes.
I’m Jeff Altman, a big hunter. I am the head coach of JobsearchCoachinghq.com, welcome. I coach with people one-on-one to help you become more effective in job search.
I believe that hunting doesn’t have to be tough, difficult, painful or take a long time. It just takes different skills to find the skills required to work than to work. When working with people, I try to make the process less painful because recruiters don’t work for you.
Deep inside the employer. Who supports your game? So, that’s what I’m here for. As an experienced professional who has worked in search for over 40 years and has held many positions in his career, I can help you with job search.
Now, here, I think I’ll negotiate the negotiation counter because for some people it’s hard to leave. Now, I know that every recruiter is gasping when I’m talking about negotiating counter food at this point because what they always tell job seekers is derived from an old article published a strange few years ago called The Strikeback, which is basically designed to scare you to stay. It tells you that all you have to do is raise your salary in advance and they will take it on your head and punish you.
After all, in the future, if there is a choice between them and the faithful, who will they reward? Now, I will not be involved in this argument. I just say not all counterattacks will lead to destruction. Not all counterattacks are problematic.
So, I want to start saying that you need to sit down at the beginning of the search to determine what is driving you to see other things. Of course, money is important. But this may not be the only variable you are looking at.
Maybe you see some promotional opportunities. Maybe your boss isn’t treating you fairly. Maybe you don’t like the team you work with.
But fundamentally speaking, it’s not just the money involved. Now, if it’s just money, it’s easy. You have another offer.
You not only list it as the same level. Sorry, I was confused there. You won’t do it on the same level.
You want the new company to improve it. Otherwise, everything is happening, they match it. What is now? Because there are other things that are wrong.
Maybe the new offer brings you more holidays. Maybe this is a new type of project. So when negotiating a competitor, it always has to start by knowing what you are really looking for, not just money.
So, create a list of these items. And, if you didn’t do that at the beginning of the search, you have to do it now. What prompts you to see other things? How do new companies solve these problems? So what do you need to do from the old company to solve and improve the solution? After all, you are putting the gun on their heads.
And, you basically threaten their departure to get them moving. So you want them to do better than other quotes, not just match it. Therefore, money is a variable.
Assume it’s about more interesting work. How did it improve if they would only provide you with the same job as their current bosses in the same group? All that happens is that you make money. You will see that for employers, the money is easy to match for them.
However, you want to deal with other variables and immediately put your proposals together to fully understand that they may not match, but at least you have another thing. Now, I think it clear. People are sometimes very disappointed that their current employer does not meet or exceed other offers.
But this is reality. This is the business. This is not an individual.
Your manager’s manager, manager, or certain policies that are not related to you may tie your hands. This may be just an institutional policy. Like I know, none of these companies will become anti-joint for years.
They basically tell you that you can leave now. Don’t let the door hit the butt. This is not an individual.
This is the policy they have. However, when you are in negotiations, you have to be clear about what you want to improve in the current situation and that needs to improve another company, and that is the one you sincerely hired before you can consider accepting that company. Then put the proposal in front of your current company and basically tell them, hey, look, I’m not just looking for a game.
I’m looking for improvements to what this company is doing. After all, the reality is that I have to do it out of the threat of leaving. So I want to be better.
Don’t give them the last pass. Don’t threaten them. Just say this in a factual way.
Remember, this is not TV. This is a real life with consequences in real life. So you have to be pragmatic here.
When comparing the final comparison of the two, the advantage is another company. After all, they did it the right way. They evaluate you and give you a deal worthy of acceptance.
Now, your current company is responding to it. They might just be in the competition. Always, always improve each of all the criteria on your list so that you cannot hypnotize in this way.
Like, I remember a position I lost a few years ago, where I represented a number one in organizing this new business function. He sent a notice and received a call from his former boss, who is now running one of the largest government agencies in the United States, telling him that he should stay in the company. Now, this guy has left.
That’s a strange thing. He was fascinated by his former boss because. . . OK, I won’t tell this story. I simply put it, this is a stupid mistake.
The money has never been made possible for this guy. It came back late in his career to bother them. Be practical, not emotional.
If you feel emotional, find a way to fire with your wife, husband, partner, friend, mentor, Ally, instead of the mentor at your current company, just want to know this, but someone you know from another organization. So, I’m Jeff Altman, the big hunter. If you have this kind of problem, I would love to help you navigate through it.
