The five tips include: 1) Establish value before putting a price tag on yourself, 2) Talk about the future of the company and your role, 3) Go fishing for as many ‘thats’ as possible to increase leverage, 4) Be persistently focused on non-salary terms like benefits, and 5) Don’t be a jerk—maintain a positive tone.
