Unlock your inner negotiator

Research shows that women are more reticent than men to negotiate their salary offers. Join our women-only conversation on April 27th, where our expert speaker, Maggy Mushira Agweyu, will share tips and strategies for having the talk.  Negotiating is critical for women. Negotiating for WISA leads to better outcomes as they hit their targets faster and also women who ask for a raise are more than twice as likely to get one as women who don’t. Women pay a penalty when they negotiate. They’re more likely to receive feedback that they are “intimidating,” “too aggressive,” or “bossy.” Sales is already a industry where successful women are considered bossy and aggressive when they hit their targets, now add the burden of salary negotiation.  As Woman In Sales, the onus isn’t on you to close the gender pay gap by asking for more. But the next time you do negotiate, we want to ensure you have the information you need to get the best results.
