Here's how you can skillfully negotiate a salary or raise in public speaking.

First, don't bring any emotion into the negotiations. Keep it business and professional. Do your homework. Know the industry payscales for your position in your geography, write down all your accomplishments, achievements, personal growth, courses, skillset improvements, including specific examples of where you have gone above and beyond to assist the organization in growth. Now build a case as to why you deserve a raise in salary and be specific about the requested amount of raise. Base it on facts, on work ethic and output, on current industry payment for a similar position as well as any factors such as inflation and cost of living changes. End the negotiation on a positive note about your commitment to the success of the company.

I'm always leveraging the power of my circle and tapping into the expertise of peers and mentors to give guidance if they have been where I am trying to get or can connect me with someone who has. When it comes to making connections for speaking opportunities or figuring out how to charge for my services I have often had great success leaning on my network for guidance. A funny anecdote a friend told me when asking for guidance on pricing was to find the highest number I feel comfortable asking for and then triple it. I think that is clearly said with the privilege of being okay with a rejection as a rejection may mean more to some than others, but if you can get comfortable with rejection and not in dire need of a yes shoot your shot high.

The first step in negotiating our salary is to understand our experience, knowledge, market value, previous income and offers. It is also crucial to understand our expertise and ability to capture the audience's attention. The success of the previous events and feedback are plus points. These are the important places to analyse to feel confident that you deserve a raise.

Be candid at your own assessment and reflect your journey of where you feel you excel the best and where you think you need further support for self-enrichment. Also evaluate your own value by seeking opinions from the management team who are familiar with your work ethic and performance. It would help understand your leverage in an objective manner.

It takes self awareness to know personal value and capabilities. You can also self reflect to explore where you excel the most and how you can package it for better negotiation. Develop a value preposition that is bankable and relatable. This helps you know what you can accept as the bare minimums.

Benchmarking and research on the market rates helps you in determining your price and requirements. Find out what I owe aspects you bring to your package offering. Develop your competitive niche and advantage based on the research you've done and justify how you are competing on value rather than price.

Before entering any negotiation, research the going rates for public speaking in your field. This will provide a benchmark and help you set realistic expectations. Look into what other speakers with similar experience and expertise are charging, keeping in mind that rates can vary widely based on the event's size, location, and audience. Having this information will empower you to make a strong case for your desired fee.

Inflation has silently reduced the "real wage" for many staff who haven't received regular coat-of-living increases that keep up . Be prepared to show the lost pay over the past several years in comparison with the cost of hiring new staff at the competitive market rate.

To skillfully negotiate a salary or raise in public speaking, the foundation is- understanding your worth, the pillar is- ability to articulately communicate your worth. You should be able to clearly talk of your significant progress and productivity and how your contribution has been of immense value citing examples if possible. The goal is to pitch yourself such that your value is perceived, reviewed and seen to deserving of a bonus/raise NOT just because you feel you are doing too much and you need to ask for more money.

Bring clarity to the table when it comes to what you need, state your value, what you do or can do for them and express what you want in return very clearly. Expecting others to read your mind or magically guess what you want has never proven to be the right path to go for so, if you want something, be clear and assertive about it, and bear in mind that you are communicating your needs to another human being, not commanding your wishes! Be ready to negotiate and to get to a middle ground if needed, but stay firm on your deal-breakers, you will be more respected for that.

When the time comes to discuss numbers, clarity is key. Be direct about what you're looking for in terms of fees and be prepared to explain why you merit this amount. Justify your figure with clear examples of your work, unique skills, and the value you add to each event. This demonstrates that you understand your contribution to the event's success and are not just asking for more money arbitrarily.

Sin duda la formación teórica técnica con base en la experiencia y la reflexión sobre la misma son un plus muy importante. Frente a cualquier auditorio

The level of timing is a big deal because of the mood and attitude. You cannot schedule negotiations in moments of conflict or slow business. Prepare your case before hand and ensure there's a punch line that gives emphasis on the value you are offering.

Timing can be everything in negotiations. Choose the right moment, such as after a successful speaking engagement or during a performance review, when your value is fresh in the mind of your employer or client. Avoid high-stress periods or tight deadlines, as these times are less conducive to a thoughtful discussion about compensation.

Desde mi opinión la mejor oportunidad está dada por la necesidad de la audiencia para recibir esa charla capacitación o conferencia

Be an active listener and practice respect in your communication. Don't take any criticism personally but utilize emotional stability. Be clear in your communication and don't deviate from your objective. Determine your goal and objectives beforehand. Negotiations can also be successful depending on the body language you are utilizing.

The term "negotiate" often puts people in an "us vs them" mind set. There can be some truth to that depending on circumstnace, but the best way to actually get the raise is to approach the conversation from a win-win mentality. Be Objective. Be ready with facts and to ask questions; -What additional resposibilities have you taken on since being hired? -What results/ value have you brought to the comany? -What does your manager need to see from you in order to achieve your career goals? Always leave the conversation with an action plan and know what you need to accomplish to receive a raise next time as well.

During the negotiation, utilize effective public speaking techniques. Maintain eye contact, use positive body language, and speak with conviction. Be ready to listen and respond to concerns or counteroffers. If your initial request is not met, have alternatives ready, such as additional benefits or growth opportunities, to compensate for a lower salary increase than requested.
