Negotiate a new position so that the standard

Jumping a job or being appointed to a new position – that doesn't mean you'll advance your career. It is important that you think strategically about how to realise that goal right from the negotiation stage.

This article is for those who are in front of a new opportunity at a new or existing company: although it is very important to agree on a salary, if you do not think more broadly, you can lose valuable opportunities for promotion. Negotiating your career roadmap (scope of powers and opportunities for development) can offer more sustainable benefits than negotiating salaries. And at times when you're challenged to balance work and life, negotiating workloads is more important than earning.

Negotiating the right people, the right way is the springboard for the career

Negotiation, on the other hand, does not mean achieving as many benefits as possible, but rather finding solutions to solve common problems, helping both parties to benefit. That requires you to think strategically about content as well as ways negotiation. A vision-oriented career, aiming for bigger goals, considering negotiating with the right people, the right problems will help you avoid mistakes.

1. Start with career goals

Most of us focus more on our immediate opportunities than on our most important aspirations. Do not forget to consider the quality of life as well as professional issues.

Namely: those who are prone to gaining a star position after a job Jump are those who have carefully studied what resources the new company has to help them outgrow. They understand that competence and the secret of success in the old company are unlikely to make the same achievement in the new company, so salaries are just one aspect to consider. ViralHire's advice is to determine from the very beginning what you want to achieve the most: become an industry leader, make money, or have a luxurious lifestyle / ’ cool ‘ associated with work? Keep that goal in mind when negotiating. Such long-term thinking will often pay off.

2. Understand what you're negotiating

What stage of negotiation are you at and what are your advantages?

– Meet: you find out the job requirements and benefits for the position being applied – when first exchanging with the representative of the personnel party.
Consider: you require an individual exception or an arrangement that is beyond the typical organizational practices or norms (e.g., working remotely when needed, providing a place of residence, or having the opportunity to promote even if you lack the appropriate qualifications) – before deciding to take a job.
– Priority position: you propose structural changes, or new initiatives in favor of operation (improving how to run a project or establish a new business unit) – where the company wants to keep you and promoted to a new position.

At each stage, if you want to negotiate successfully, you must have your own strengths. Someone stops at the meeting stage. But someone is chosen at the consideration stage, or the priority position.

You must prove that your request or proposal is reasonable because:

– It conforms to existing practices or norms. For example, raise your salary when you have an outside offer, or you deserve a promotion because that applies to employees with similar achievements or experience. You can also suggest when assigned a new role.
If you are asked to do a job that keeps you away from your initial career goals, see if you can negotiate. For example, explain why changing your role isn't beneficial for employers (affecting team performance, damaging relationships with a high-value customer…).
Another option is to agree to take a job because of the organization's needs in exchange for a number of other career advancement opportunities. For example, “I will take on this role to solve the crisis for the company, but I want to move on to an intensive job and go to foreign training after 2 years.”

If you are in a difficult negotiation – looking for some exceptions or special privileges – you need to prevent the person responsible from refusing in the first place. For example, you want to move from the financial sector to leadership in the IT sector while not enough qualifications and experience in this sector. So instead of proposing to move the official position right away and always, you can ask for a 6-month trial while the company does not yet have a more potential replacement. During that time, you can leverage extensive knowledge of the financial system as well as team management to lead successfully.

Make company leaders see benefits from your suggestions

3. There are many options

While any negotiation Can Backfire, strategic preparedness can mitigate risks: list the reasons that company leaders can support your proposal; the reasons they can refuse – and how to respond best to persuade them.

If your negotiation fails – do you not reach your dream position at the company, nor are there any more attractive job offers than at another company? As a precaution for this “bad, unfinished” situation, you should have a backup option such as: take a step back to go three steps (choosing a difficult or different position that no one chooses, but can become a career springboard in the future).

Often, negotiations become failing or never get good results because the big goals you set have been buried by daily work for a long time. For example, you want to strive for the position of a Marketing professional in the organization, but paperwork runs around every day, leaving you without a project of your own for a long time. And by the end of the year, you are not mentioned as desired. So to maximize your chances of success, set specific and realistic goals by month / quarter / year to make yourself responsible for doing the work as planned.

“You have a book to write about your life. Don't let anyone else write your chapters.” Your career is characterized by achievement and professional relationships, and the focus of negotiation is to find a way to please each other so that it goes on.
