Here's how you can stay positive and confident when negotiating your salary.

Research industry standards and your market value. Emphasize accomplishments and unique skills. Approach negotiations with confidence. Understand the employer's perspective and be flexible. Consider long-term goals beyond immediate salary.

When negotiating your salary, always know the value that you can bring to the organization. When you can clearly articulate exactly how much value you have to offer, it will make salary negotiations much easier and in your favor. Whenever possible try to calculate the value you can bring into a numerical amount. For example, if you know that you can save the business over $50,000, or generate an additional $50,000 in revenues, this will directly have an impact on your negotiations.

Here are a few ways I recommend: 1. Be clear with your expectations (how much hike you feel you deserve). 2. Justify your demand by highlighting your achievements. 3. Communicate confidently.

Por vezes n?o sabemos reconhecer o nosso verdadeiro valor, devido a cren?as limitadoras que nos foram incutidas na infancia, e que de forma muitas vezes inconsciente, nos levam a n?o nos auto-valorizarmos. Assim, interessa ir mais fundo e transformar essas cren?as limitadoras em cren?as potenciadoras, que nos ajudem a crescer e a aprender a reconhecer o nosso verdadeiro, e único valor.

Take the time to clearly define not only the value you bring to the company, but also any achievements and goals. When you are able to prepare and even rehearse how you are going to present yourself, it will help reduce any anxiety and stress you may have. Another key tip would be to make sure you think ahead of any objections that may come up and have a response thought of ahead of time.

Mentally you should prepare to stick with a salary. You should prepare it from your home itself in mind that if I get this opportunity I will take ask this much of amount not less than it. When you fix some particular amount in your mind then there will be less stress as you will be confident. Where confidence is there, stress will be away itself.

Make sure you have your emotions under control prior to any negotiations you encounter. If you find yourself feeling anxious or stressed, it's okay. You don't have to suppress these emotions, but rather acknowledge that they are there and think about how you want to feel instead. You might want to feel confident, determined or even relaxed. Ask yourself what you would need to be thinking to achieve these feelings.

Keeping calm and focused definitely will make you sound professional. It helps to remind yourself that as much as there are things you can control (preparation, rehearsals, etc), there is also a part that is completely out of your control - the outcome. As soon as you trust the process and bring acceptance to whatever result you'll get, you will be able to show up confident, relaxed and make a real positive impression on the other party.

Maintain eye contact, sit up straight, and use confident gestures. Avoid fidgeting or closed-off postures. Convey enthusiasm and self-assuredness through body language. Demonstrate confidence in your worth and expectations. Send a strong message to your employer about your seriousness and confidence.

Body language can easily give away how you really feel to the other party. It is as important as the words you communicate. It may help to sit in front of the mirror and watch yourself negotiate and deliver your strong points, values, arguments, goals, etc. No fidgeting, no crossing arms, open posture, straight back, no slouching, eye contact, half smile (natural goes a long way), nodding, etc. Practice will boost your confidence as well as improve your delivery and communication skill.

Speak calmly and articulate points concisely. Listen actively to the other party's responses. Avoid filler words or rambling. Demonstrate professionalism and self-assuredness. Maintain a positive atmosphere for a favorable outcome.

If you have fear of rejection, you will settle for less. Know your worth, respectfully negotiate, whatever the decision is- at least you gave your try. Set your bar at a moderately convincing level.
