  • Answer:

    This might be cheating... but the easiest way to negotiate better benefits is to hire a professional to help you. As a professional salary negotiator myself, I have negotiated higher salaries for over 700 people. My trick is to handle the entire salary negotiation over email. Negotiating by email improves the odds for an amateur negotiator. That’s because it takes away your employer’s ability to "read you" in person and bluff you into taking less. Over email you can carefully choose every word. And a professional like me can squeeze HR to get every penny you deserve. The only rule is that you can never tell ANYONE that you had outside help.

Probably so if they are in fairly urgent need and you have a good track record - i'm never offended when I get asked that question. My suggestion would be to tell them you are very interested and feel you can do an outstanding job, however, the salary level is of concern and can they revisit the offer letter. If you get a 'no' then ask if they'd be willing to give you a guaranteed Draw for the first 6 months while you learn the company and industry.

Companies want outside salespeople that can SELL. That's why they pay you commission. By asking for a larger base, you will be sending a message that you are unable to earn a decent commission instead.
