How One Client Negotiated a $10K Salary Increase in 15 Minutes

How One Client Negotiated a $10K Salary Increase in 15 Minutes

When China first reached out to me, she was excited but uneasy. She had received an offer for a new role, but deep down, she knew it wasn’t quite what she was worth. Instead of accepting it as-is, she booked a Dream Power Session with me to strategize her negotiation approach. What happened next? She walked away with an extra $10K in just 15 minutes.

The Situation: A Strong Offer, But Not Strong Enough

China’s potential employer had made her an offer that looked solid on paper—but she knew her experience, skills, and market value deserved more. Instead of immediately responding, she wisely chose to pause and prepare. That’s when she booked her session with me.

The Dream Power Session: Crafting a Winning Negotiation Strategy

During our call, we focused on three critical elements:

1?? Market Research & Benchmarking – We assessed salary trends for her role and industry, ensuring she had data-backed justification for her ask.

2?? Framing the Conversation – Instead of simply requesting more money, we crafted a value-driven case, highlighting how her skills and expertise would deliver immediate impact.

3?? Confidence & Delivery – We practiced exactly what to say and how to say it—ensuring she could present her case with confidence and clarity.

The Negotiation: A 15-Minute Power Move

Armed with her strategy, China went back to the hiring manager and delivered her counteroffer with confidence. She didn’t apologize. She didn’t over-explain. She simply presented her value, aligned it with the market, and asked for what she deserved.

?? Their response? Within 15 minutes, they agreed to increase her salary by $10,000—no back-and-forth, no hesitation.

The Takeaway: Never Accept Less Than Your Worth

China’s success wasn’t about luck—it was about strategy, preparation, and self-advocacy. This is proof that when you own your value and ask for it confidently, doors open.

Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

If you’re facing an offer and wondering if there’s more room to negotiate, let’s talk. A 15-minute conversation could mean thousands more in your pocket.

?? Schedule a Dream Power Session with me today—let’s get you paid what you’re worth.
