What Do You Want Out of Your Life?

Kristin E. Prinz of The Prinz Law Firm, P.C., ended her presentation with her top ten list of points to ponder when negotiating a salary increase:

• Just do it.

• You have to be in the game before you can play the game.

• Know the market. An employer wants to hear what you are worth.

• Negotiate raises and promotions by talking dollars and cents.

• Negotiate everything, but watch your timing. You do not want to approach your boss after he has just had a root canal.

• Practice “the ask.”

• Ask for more than you want. It’s Negotiation 101.

• Be your best self.

• Base your pitch on your achievements, and learn to strut your stuff.

• Have a team of wing women with you for help, practice and support.
