DECISION + NEGOTIATION

Understand the offer.
Then prepare for the conversation.

Your Decision Review shows you what looks strong, what needs weighing up and what still needs confirming. Decision + Negotiation helps you turn that into a plan for what to ask, what to say and what may be better left alone.

NEGOTIATION PLANNER

Know what is actually worth raising.

NJS looks at your offer, priorities, Decision Review and negotiation context to identify the areas worth discussing.

Not Just SalaryDecision + Negotiation

YOUR NEGOTIATION PLAN

Focus on what would actually improve the decision.

Three areas are worth addressing before this decision feels settled.

Flexible workingExplore a workable hybrid pattern.
NEGOTIATE
Working hoursUnderstand how often the week runs over.
CLARIFY
Base salaryConfirm the improved figure in writing.
PROTECT
FLEXIBLE WORKINGExplore a workable hybrid pattern.
What you want
Two office days a week where the role allows it.
What the evidence supports
Flexibility is one of your priorities and the offer does not confirm the long-term pattern.
What NJS suggests
NEGOTIATE Make one clear, practical request.
What you could say
“Would there be any flexibility to limit office attendance to two days a week?”

LEAVE ALONE

Sometimes the best advice is not to push.

If part of the offer already looks strong, matches what you asked for or has already been improved, NJS can suggest leaving it alone rather than negotiating for the sake of it.
