8. Basics of Negotiation How do I decline an offer? –Be honest and transparent. –Show appreciation and desire to maintain communication.

Determine your risk tolerance at that given time. Some considerations: –FIT, FIT, FIT –Assessing management team and reputation.

10. Negotiating with a Start Up Assessing viability of the business and determining worth Cash flow, annual revenue generated, recent funding, sources of funding. When do you anticipate breaking even? What is your exit strategy? What are your primary revenue streams? What is your business plan? What is the company worth? Pre IPO vs. post IPO?

11. Negotiating pay raises Communicating value via past history of achieving/exceeding goals. Discussing a promotion or new role.

12. Q&A

13. Last words of advice… Negotiate for what matters most to you. Do not be apologetic Listen Always be ready to express what it would take to come to an agreement – you might be asked, and you need to have a confident answer Have a backup “ask” if you don’t get what you are asking for
