Format:Paperback
On the surface, this is an extremely basic book, but it includes some gems about negotiating and closing techniques. These short, concise lessons could prove very valuable. Author Roger Dawson lists 23 closing techniques, 16 tactical gambits and several good ideas on preparing for negotiations. He covers the journey you must take to get to your first salary negotiation - from sending in your resume to mastering the job interview - and he explains how to get more money when you are promoted. His style is chatty and straightforward, and you can easily apply his techniques. The trick is to deploy them at the right times. Experienced negotiators can skip the first few chapters and get right to the meatier strategies. We recommend this manual to anyone who negotiates salary deals of any kind.

I am not a person who likes to negotiate. I like everything to be on the table so I can make a decision and get it over with. But here is something Roger Dawson says in this book. Suppose you are buying a used car with an $8,000 asking price. You are prepared to pay $6,000. You go to look at the car, test drive it and everything seems fine, so you make the first offer of $5,000, less then your reservation price. "I'll take it" they say. Happy? Probably not. In many situations you are expected to negotiate. In a case like this you are probably thinking that a. "I could have gotten a lower price" and b. "There's something wrong with this car." The same goes for salary negotiation. Most employers expect you to negotiate your salary, and if you don't they're going to think there's something you're not telling them. So if you want to get off on the right foot in your new job, you must negotiate!
This is a fairly short book, about 228 pages of material broken up into 59 chapters, so it's a quick read. There are two secions, one on getting the job and one on negotiating a salary. The second half of the book is great, and tells you many of the common strategies hiring managers will use when they offer you a salary, as well as techniques for overcoming those strategies.
There's not many times when you can earn as high an ROI as when you are negotiating a pay raise for yourself. Spending a few bucks to buy this book and spending a few hours reading it can potentiall get you a few thousand dollars a year in income, so why not read it and try it out?

I just used this in a new job offer negotiation and got a 5K salary increase, a PTO increase, and more. Some of the ideas in here are basic negotiation rules, but most are targeted to the salary/compensation arena and are explained well. The execution is up to you!
