“The good news is that we’re not bad at negotiation. We’re actually very good at it. And when we negotiate for friends or family, the research shows that we negotiate every bit as good as men do. So the key for us is to understand the most powerful tactics, negotiation tactics, and at the same time understand what the social sanctions are when we do ask for something for ourselves and to take action to reduce that gender blowback.”

Pynchon shares key negotiation strategies, including a five-step process for negotiating that will help you:

Prepare for a negotiation and find your true market value.
