Negotiating Your Compensation – Part Two
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
After the initial offer, you will enter into what I call “Second Round Negotiations.”
Your success at this point will depend as much on how you act, as it will on what you say! Here are some guidelines on how to behave and what to say once the employer has floated their first offer.
First, maintain a “poker-face.” Write down all the details of the offer. Then, break eye contact – appear disappointed and perplexed). Note that this is the first time in the entire interview process that you’ve deliberately broken eye contact. This will certainly shift the dynamics of the conversation – which is exactly what you want at this juncture. You’ll actually want to create an awkward, uncomfortable feeling in the room.

Career Coaching via Video Conferencing
For many years, we have worked via video conference with “long distance” clients (or local clients whose circumstances have made it difficult to visit our offices). Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact. We are happy to serve clients from anywhere in the United States and Canada via video conference.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more flexibility with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
