Who thinks they are maximizing their worth? Who wants to leave money, or extra vacation days on the table, or pay more on their bills? As with most everything in life, negotiation is a skill that you will need to learn and master in order for this to not happen to you! While the main focus will be on learning to negotiation a better salary, more vacation days, a new title, or other job perks, learning to be a better negotiator can also help you lower cable bill, credit card rate, gym membership, or your cell phone bill. So what is the magic sauce to becoming a negotiation master? You must pick your battles, do your research, practice, and make your case to support getting what you want.
