Thanks for such an in-depth response here, Darren. I appreciate it. I love the simple scripts you included. I already understood most of the general principles, but having a specific outline for what to say is fantastic. It might not come out exactly like the script, but it gets me thinking more specifically about what I can say.

Again, thank you for sharing.

Yep, I expect a counter bid. And if I don’t get one and I want to hire the person, then even better!

Best, Sam

Thanks Sam! It was a great book to read, and one I’ll have to come back to every now and then. And I agree, going about negotiation with a win-win mindset is the key.

As a hiring manager, do you actually expect prospective employees to negotiate with you? Do you look at it as a sign of the potential value, skill, and/or competence they’ll bring to you as an employee?

Darren, these are excellent tips that more people should read. As a hiring manager, and one who was fascinated with Negotiations class in business school, you’ve hit every nail with this one.

It’s really a dance where you want to create a win-win situation where both sides feel good.
