A recruiter saw Liam’s online profile and reached out.
You know the message: “There’s a position at XYZ company for people with your skills.”
For some reason, Liam clicked on the link, and no, it didn’t crash his computer or send messages to the boss.
Instead, he wound up getting an offer to make a move to a new company. And they had a different compensation plan from his existing employer.
He and his wife Charlie talked it over and they decided he should pursue it.
They offered him a job, with a $10,000 increase in base pay!

Base pay is only one aspect of a compensation plan. Retirement and medical plans, plus ESOP and flexible benefits all come into play.
Charlie insisted that Liam call us to evaluate how the offer might impact their long-run goals.
We did.
Then we asked Liam if he had a preference between the new company or the company he knew.
He didn’t.
We suggested a strategy to employ.
Liam told his boss that he was considering a new job and asked if he would beat the offer.
Liam called us back, ecstatic. “He offered me $10,000 more!”
“Calm down, Liam. Call the new company; see what they’ll do.”
“Really, you think I should?”
“What could it hurt? You’re up $20k just for asking.”
He did.
They did another bump, and Liam made the move.
It never hurts to have some coaching during a negotiation, and it all begins with the analysis of the financials.
Give us a call so that together we can pursue dreams!
Gotta run!
