The ultimate guide to negotiating a higher salary

Most Americans are dissatisfied with how much they're paid, yet most still say they didn't ask for more the last time they got a new job.

Negotiating is scary and can bring up feelings of guilt and self-doubt, but it's also one of the most important things professionals at every career level can do to increase their earning power.

We want to change the dynamic by giving workers the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to ask for a raise in their current job or negotiate a bigger paycheck in a new one.

Our new online course, How to Negotiate a Higher Salary, launches Oct. 15. You'll get access to 90 minutes of instructional video lessons that you can watch at any time, and a companion workbook with exercises, examples and scripts you can use.
