Welcome to the American Negotiation Institute's podcast, where we will teach you the skills you need to get more out of life.

And now your host, Kwame Christian.

Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of negotiation for entrepreneurs.

My name is Kwame Christian.

I'm a business lawyer and I am passionate about teaching business professionals like you,

how to negotiate and how to be more persuasive.

As usual, I'd like to thank all of you who connected with me on LinkedIn.

I'd like to give a shout out to Rusty from Chicago, Bree from Florida, and D.C.

You know I love hearing from all of you. So if you haven't yet, please connect with me on LinkedIn because I actually talk to you and we have a conversation. So I want to hear from you and get to know

who you are. And actually, you're going to hear an update from Daphne in the next month or so. She's going

to buy a car and she's using the strategy from the car negotiation series last month. We won't

wish her good luck because she doesn't need it. So we are wishing you good skill, Daphne. So we're

looking forward to your report. Before I jump into the meat of this episode, I'd like to give an

honorable mention to my better half, Dr. Whitney Christian.

She's finishing up her residency and she just negotiated her salary and got a really good deal.

So I won't get into specifics, obviously, but she was able to get a signing bonus when it wasn't even on the table and she got a great benefits package as well. So I am really

proud of her because medicine is one of those fields where there typically isn't a lot of negotiation

in entry level positions, but it just goes to show you never know what you can get until you ask.

And for those of you who have an upcoming salary negotiation, I have a freebie for you.

So if you go to American Negotiation Institute.com slash salary, again, that's American

Negotiation Institute.com slash S-A-L-A-R-Y.

You can get a free salary negotiation guide so you can work on how you can replicate
