Hi Reader,

I (Gerta) just found out I was featured in Business Insider again! Highly recommend setting a Google Alert for yourself and the important people in your life to see what the web is saying about you in real time.
​
A few quick things I want to emphasize from my quotes in the article (see article screenshots below):

Negotiating with a collaborative tone and showing genuine excitement are not only the right thing to do but also very high-leverage. They keep the relationship strong and positive, and give you more room to move.

Also, a quick thoughts about numbers:

Note: this is a sponsored newsletter. If you check them out below, it means a lot to us and helps keep our newsletter going.

On numbers: I always recommend letting the other side go first. If you give a number or a range and the number or the bottom of your range falls below the top of their budget, you'll leave money on the table. And if it lands well above it, you can come across as entitled and potentially damage the relationship.

I’m very grateful to Business Insider for sharing these insights from me and the other coaches to the people who need them right now.
