Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition. This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips.
Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences. Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this presentation helps you to get your next great job.

3. It’s Not Just About Money
Besides $$$, you can negotiate other things that benefit your business:
● Word count
● Project scope
● Deadlines
● Rights
● Assistance
● Access to sources
● Payment forms
● Transcription services
● Regular work
● Elevated title
● Social media
4. Don’t Sabotage Yourself
Common excuses for not negotiating:
● “I’m just starting out, I need the business.”
● “If I don’t take this, I might not find anything else and I have bills to
pay.”
● “I don’t have anything else right now, why not take it?”
● “I don’t feel comfortable talking about money.”
● “I don’t like talking on the phone.”
● “If I push back they’ll never want to work with me again.”
● “They said this is what they always pay.”
● “They said nobody has ever brought this up before.”
What other ways do you talk yourself out of asking for what you’re worth?

7. Negotiating Essentials
1. Do your homework.
● Calculate your rate. Use this formula for calculating what you need to
make - shared by Gwen Moran at the 2017 ASJA conference:
If you work 35 hours a week, and take off major holidays, 2 weeks of
vacation, 2 weeks of sick time, and spend 20% of your time on non-
billable work, you have about 1,400 hours a year to sell.
To make $65,000, you need to sell 1,400 hours @ $46.50/hr
To make $85,000, you need to sell 1,400 @ $61/hr
To make $120,000, you need to sell 1,400 @ $86/hr

2. Practice, practice, practice.
● Start by negotiating non-work situations - who loads the dishwasher?
Walks the dog?
● Move on to low-risk asks, such as extending a deadline or asking for
help finding sources.
● Ask a family member, friend or fellow freelancer to roll play with you
to get comfortable with what to say, how to respond.
● You’re ready to shoot for the big stuff - asking for a higher rate,
longer word count, or both.
10. Negotiating Essentials
3. Make the ask.
● Call if you can - it’s easier to read how things are going on a call, and
make suggestions on the fly.
● Write down talking points before a call so you don’t forget them.
● Listen!
● Know what you want
● Know what you’re willing to sacrifice
● Whatever you agree to, get it in writing.
12. Negotiating Essentials
4. If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.
● Don’t take no for an answer.
○ Ask for feedback - What is it about the pitch that didn’t work?
○ Think of it as an opening for a conversation.
○ How you could alter your ask to change that “No” into a “Yes.”
● Use the feedback to follow up.
● Build a support system so you’ve got someone to commiserate with
when rejections come, and celebrate with when you get a win.
13. Support for Reluctant Negotiators
More words of wisdom from Gwen Moran:
• Know what you bring to the table. What do you do better than anyone
else?
• Find the clients who value what you sell.
• Sell yourself to capacity, and analyze how many prospects it takes to
get there.
• Make time for marketing and new business development weekly,
monthly and quarterly.
You are never as confident as when you don’t need the work!
14. “The world is full of people who will tell you what to do and how to do it.
They’ll be louder than you, more experienced, more educated. Maybe
they’ll be none of those things, but they’ll be more confident. If you wait
to be the most ‘most’ person in the room, you’ll never feel qualified.”
-- Jimmy Choo Founder Tamara Mellon
