			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To succeed in negotiations, you must be willing to walk away. </p>
<p>Many people sabotage career success by accepting job offers they should refuse, often ignoring gnawing doubts that arose during interviews or salary negotiations. </p>
<p>In any failed relationship or job situation, hints of upcoming conflicts often appear at the very beginning.  Things that don&#8217;t begin right rarely improve.  Job interviews and salary negotiations are like dating&#8211;if they are unpleasant, a happy &#8220;marriage&#8221; is unlikely.</p>
<p>For example, I once sold a business.  In arranging the trip to meet the potential buyer, I inquired about transportation to his office &#8211; 40 miles from the airport.  Instead of having me picked up, he suggested a bus or rental car.  I thought, &#8220;Wow, he won&#8217;t spend a nickel to make my trip easier.&#8221;  Three years later, I was in court to extract the payments he owed.</p>
<p>Belief in scarcity is often the root cause of people taking undesirable jobs..  Even savvy job hunters sometimes get tunnel vision, failing to see opportunities beyond the immediate offer.  Besides accepting inferior positions, they undermine salary negotiations.  In business and love, the person with no other options is less attractive, and often gets poorer treatment.</p>
<p>One example is a young woman we&#8217;ll call Tracy.  She had a good job, but wanted to work in a different area within her industry.  She applied for a position at company X, and soon had an interview.  The interviewer said they were excited about Tracy because of her topnotch experience and she got the job offer. </p>
<p>She had done her homework and found that the industry range for similar positions is between $42,000 and $48,000.  Through an inside contact, she learned that the company&#8217;s pay scale for the position ranged from $35,000 and $50,000.  With that information, Tracy was astounded when they offered only $35,000.</p>
<p>She astutely requested a face-to-face interview with the real decision maker, rather than the interviewer.  The boss said he was &#8220;too busy&#8221; to meet with her.  He could spare &#8220;just a couple of minutes&#8221; over the phone. </p>
<p>Tracy started talking about the average industry salary, but he interrupted.  &#8220;Everyone here is underpaid. That&#8217;s just how it is.&#8221; </p>
<p>Since he wouldn&#8217;t budge on salary, Tracy tried to negotiate an extra week of vacation (additional vacation is a raise which doesn&#8217;t cost employers more out of pocket).  &#8220;No,&#8221; he said, &#8220;one week is plenty.&#8221;  What about tuition reimbursement?  &#8220;No.&#8221;  It was &#8220;no, no and more no&#8221; with this man.  He then said she must decide about the job by noon the next day. </p>
<p>Tracy asked how to handle the situation.  She was sure there must be magic phrases to transform these dead-end negotiations.</p>
<p>Sometimes there aren&#8217;t.  Tracy had negotiated well&#8211;except she wasn&#8217;t willing to say &#8220;no thanks,&#8221; if necessary.  The boss wouldn&#8217;t negotiate and wasn&#8217;t interested in being fair&#8211;perhaps because her nonverbal communication told him she wouldn&#8217;t turn down the job.  We advised her on tactics for restating her position, but our most important advice was to be willing to decline the offer.  Certainly, many other companies would hire her. </p>
<p>Tracy, however, was unwilling to hear this.  Ultimately, she accepted their unfavorable terms.  We wish her well, but think she made a big mistake.</p>
<p>Employers should be on their best behavior during interviewing and salary negotiations.  This boss, however, was unwilling to take time to meet her, was totally inflexible, despite the low offer, and demanded a quick response.  He displayed no respect.  By accepting the offer, Tracy sent a signal that disrespectful treatment is acceptable.  We think Tracy can expect more of the same.</p>
<p>Pay close attention to the signals from prospective employers and your gut reactions during interviews and negotiations.  They are reliable predictors of the employment relationship.  ###</p>

<p>Are layoffs looming at your company? Maybe things aren’t going well with your boss? You’ve known people who have been out of work for a year—maybe two—and it’s terrifying to think of being let go in this economy. You COULD do nothing and wait to become a victim—or you can take action NOW! You may be able to protect your job or at least delay the inevitable. What you do now can also determine whether you’re out of work for many months—or just a short while. One recent client protected his severance, made his final days with the company much less stressful, and was back working 90 days after being let go.This month&#8217;s special webinar&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your resume getting you enough interviews?</p>
<p>Do you get conflicting advice from people about how to make it better</p>
<p>In this free Webinar, you&#8217;ll learn</p>
<p>&#8211;How to adapt your resume to six job-search Audiences</p>
<p>&#8211;How to use a “T-Formatted” cover letter to OUTPERFORM your own resume</p>
<p>&#8211;A little known job marketing tool that gets 10-times the response of even the best resume</p>
<p>&#8211;Why a “Hand Bill” works much better than a resume for networking&#8230;</p>
<p>Not so long ago, the tools of a job search were few and simple: resumes and cover letters. These days, the number of paper and electronic job-hunting tools is overwhelming.</p>
<p>Confounding that overwhelm is the never-ending and conflicting advice about how to market yourself. Sure, some people are just misinformed, but some really intelligent people tell you to do different things.</p>
<p>This workshop will help cut through the confusion. First, you’ll learn that you get different advice because the players in the job search have different perspectives. HR professionals don’t see things the same way as the Hiring Decision Makers or Recruiters. Find out what the different players want—and how to appeal to them. Then, learn about a few powerful marketing pieces. Chances are, your competition isn’t using them well, if at all. Using the right tools mean more job interviews&#8211;and a shorter job search.</p>
<p>Who&#8217;s this webinar for? Anyone who&#8217;s continually confounded and overwhelmed with the free flow of never-ending and conflicting advice on how to really market yourself in this competitive job market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective job searches focus on the right activities.  In this workshop, Jack discusses six stages of job search activity, ranging from the passive to the very active.  The passive is easiest and least effective; while the very active is more difficult, but most effective.   The passive tactics focus on the published market for job openings, while the more active focus on the unpublished market.  Learn how the unpublished market works and how job opportunities “incubate” before they “hatch” into job openings, as well as how you can use this knowledge to get a leg up on the competition.  Get the facts to decide how you can best use your time during your job search.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worried that you&#8217;ll lose an offer if you try to negotiate?<br />
Have you ever left money on the table in negotiations?</p>
<p>In this FREE WEBINAR you&#8217;ll learn<br />
&#8211;How to make sure you aren&#8217;t screened out because of salary<br />
&#8211;That the person who goes first [Wins/Loses] (find out which)<br />
&#8211;Use benefits and perks to increase an offer.<br />
&#8211;Many more rules and techniques&#8230;</p>
<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Jack Chapman, the author of the best-selling book: <em>Negotiating Your Salary, How to Make $1000 a Minute</em>.</p>
<p><strong>FOR 25 YEARS I HAVE BEEN THE BEHIND THE SCENES SALARY GURU<br />
</strong>who has helped hundreds of people make tens-of-thousands of dollars. I wasn&#8217;t always this smart about money. I began in an unlikely place: a catholic monk in a monastery. During my early 20&#8242;s I was completely oblivious of money because I was in the Jesuit Seminary and took a vow of poverty which meant I didn&#8217;t even own anything, much less negotiate for more.7 years later when I left the order, I was tossed into a cruel money-focused world and had to find my way in the world of profit and loss. I did everything wrong. I just accepted whatever anybody offered me; I never negotiated. I worked for schools &#8212; &#8220;not for profit&#8221; organizations and though they didn&#8217;t have the money to pay me more.</p>
<p>[Wrong.] I worked as a Janitor in a 66-unit apartment building and accepted whatever wages the union negotiated for its members. I knew nothing and probably left tens-of-thousands of dollars on the table during that time.</p>
<p><strong>IT WAS PRECISELY THOSE “NAIVE” BEGINNINGS THAT MOTIVATED ME TO BE PROFICIENT COACH NOW.</strong></p>
<p>When I became a career coach, I pledged that my clients would never make the mistakes I did.</p>
<p>I didn’t write my book from an ivory tower… I made my mistakes but learned from them. Now I can save you that trouble and expense..</p>
<p><strong>I’VE “BEEN THERE; DONE THAT”</strong></p>
<p>I learned by trial and error…You can learn by Trial-and-Success!</p>
<p>My Salary System now puts thousands of dollars in the bank account of rich and poor alike.</p>
<p>The system puts them on the road to take that money and become totally financially free, financially independent in a finite time frame just by putting away a small portion of the extra money they negotiate.</p>
<p>Employers are completely and utterly powerless to combat these easy to follow Salary-Making rules because they are tried and true, based on 20 years’ coaching experience.</p>
<p>I’ve helped people with “almost impossible” circumstances.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what one client had to say:</p>
<p><em>“OMIGOD, I was so stuck and so cornered and so intimidated by my present company. I was underpaid, overworked, and trapped with an outrageous NON COMPETE clause that kept me a virtual slave, trapped. I didn&#8217;t know how to confront the Ad Agency&#8217;s owner, I didn&#8217;t even know how to get to my file to see what the non-compete contract. I was frozen and ready to LOSE an unbelievable offer because of this career jail I was in.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>“My uncle knew you and told me to call. Wow, in one call I was suddenly moving forward. With your help I took an impossible task and broke it down into 6 steps. You showed me how to find knock-&#8217;em dead salary research which put me on the right path with my potential employer.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>“We found a way to look at my personnel file without raising suspicions. You showed me the right Lawyer to use so I knew exactly what to say and do about the non-compete.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>“Then, after I negotiated an unbelievable 100% salary increase, you gave me the guts, know how, deadlines, and &#8220;it&#8217;s in your interest&#8221; reasons to get my boss to release me.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>“He HATED it, but within the deadline time he walked by and dropped the release (which you helped me compose) on my desk. I was a free, wealthy woman! And it&#8217;s all your system, Jack, and you behind the scenes.”</em><em></em></p>
<p><strong>- A.G., Advertising Acct. Executive</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>YOU CAN LEARN ALL FIVE SALARY MAKING RULES IN A FREE SALARY NEGOTIATIONS TELECLASS</strong></p>
<p>That kind of story happens every day and it all starts with positioning. I&#8217;m going to share, here, one of the incredibly simple money making rules my clients use.</p>
<p><strong>Salary Making Rule #1: Positioning.<br />
</strong>The salary-making rules are simple, and I&#8217;ll share those with you, later, too, but in order to pull off a mega-dollars heist legally, it starts with posture. Posture means attitude, positioning, knowing your leverage. The strongest leverage anyone has is the power to walk away from the bargaining table. The trick is to know you have the power, but never have to use it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one compelling argument how you can position yourself as &#8220;Pay Up or I Walk&#8221; without fear of losing the job offer. Think about this: If a company is ready to make you an offer, it means they have rejected all the other [hundreds of] applicants for the job. How do you know? Because they&#8217;re making YOU the offer, not the other guy(s)! Once you get that, you&#8217;ll automatically assume an &#8220;I&#8217;m worth it; I&#8217;m the one you want&#8221; posture, positioning. That positioning puts thousands in the bank. What guarantees this posture?</p>
<p><strong>Salary Making rule #1: Postpone Salary Talk Until They&#8217;re Seriously Offering YOU the job.</strong></p>
<p>Once you learn Salary Making Rule #1, no one can Low Ball you with cheap offers, Following Salary Making Rule #1 makes them think you&#8217;re worth HIGHER than the HIGHEST PAID person they&#8217;re interviewing, and still does not lock you out of the running.</p>
<p>Once you learn Salary Making Rule #1, employers will be putty in your hands, telling you all their locked-up secrets about their pay ranges and expectations.</p>
<p><em>“By the time I called you, I had already made a big blunder. I didn&#8217;t want to lose the interview so when the regional sales manager asked me what my salary expectations were, I low-balled myself by 10,000 dollars.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Now she was pressing me for my final salary and she wasn&#8217;t even offering me the job. They were going to get the numbers and pick the cheapest candidate [not me!]. With words I memorized from you, I was able to get her to tell me the company&#8217;s range.”</em></p>
<p><em>“By refocusing the interview on my value, not my price, and by forcing them to commit to an offer, I not only got my $10,000 back, but I ended up with a 20% increase, and the car allowance and other perks made it even better!”</em></p>
<p><strong>- J.G., Organic Food Sales/Distribution</strong></p>

<p>How did he do it? The same way you&#8217;ll do it&#8230; Here&#8217;s another tip,</p>
<p><strong>Salary Making Rule #2: Let them go first.<br />
</strong>If you go first you&#8217;ll either be too high [Bad, you'll lose the offer], too low [bad, you'll lose money], or just right [means a 1-in-100 chance you accidentally hit the top of the range they're willing to pay]. None of those outcomes helps you make money.</p>
<p>With Salary Making Rule #2 you&#8217;ll never get in a bidding war looking for the cheapest candidate.</p>
<p>With Salary Making Rule #2 you&#8217;ll lock in an offer that could otherwise escape.</p>
<p>With Salary Making Rule #2 You&#8217;ll find the &#8220;ground floor&#8221;: a number that you are sure is yours and you can go SKY HIGH from there.</p>
<p>With Salary Making Rule #2 You&#8217;ll get the employer to disclose their carefully guarded secret salary numbers; they&#8217;ll be &#8220;financially naked&#8221; in front of you.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what happened for Phil:</p>
<p><em>“I work in schools. You’re pretty much locked into a salary based on number of years, your degree etc. Well I think I talked to Jack almost every day cause I wasn’t comfortable with the kind of strategy as Jack portrays it. I really wanted this job, and it was an eight-tenths position. Normally I would have turned it down, but based on talking with Jack, he said, “No, go ahead and interview for it and see what they have to say, and then figure out how to make up the other two-tenths.</em></p>
<p><em>“And that’s exactly what we ended up doing. I accepted the position and then I said: ‘Okay, now what are we doing to do to make up the other two-tenths?’ And much to my amazement, they came up with something. I mean it wasn’t a strain at all. It was like, ‘Oh, yeah, okay we can do that’ ”.</em></p>
<p><em>“And I think the nice thing is when I accepted the position, the personnel director was really happy because he was having trouble finding people who would take the eight-tenths position; in fact he told me there were 30 other people who turned it down. I accepted it and go full-time anyway”.</em></p>
<p><em>“Since then I’ve used Jack’s same salary negotiating strategy to make thousands more dollars, but now in the buying and selling real estate I do on the side. P.K., School Social Worker turned Real Estate Investor”.</em></p>
<p>Phil used Salary Making Rule #5: Clinch the deal and deal some more.</p>
