Research 

Find out what the average pay is depending on industry and location – and for your experience and qualifications. If the pay offer comes in at average for the industry and the place, there is little chance that you can negotiate more. 

Be Polite

It is essential to be courteous and polite when negotiating the terms of a new job. Avoid sounding entitled or rude or arrogant when asking for more money – you will fail the likeability test. 

Not Just Money 

Consider other benefits such as the number of holidays and expenses. When salary is difficult to increase, consider asking for other perks to compromise. 

Timing 

Getting the timing right of when to try and negotiate is important – too early and you’ll seem rude, too late and you’ll miss your chance. The best advice is to smell the room and let them lead on this.
