How to use ChatGPT to negotiate salary
Gadinsider has a step-by-step guide to using ChatGPT to negotiate salary.
Research salary data
Firstly log in to your ChatGPT account on mobile or web and ask ChatGPT to help you find current salary ranges for your position in your industry and location.
“What are average salaries for (your job title) in (your location) with (your years of experience)?' This information will provide you with suggestions.
List down your achievements
Provide ChatGPT with a list of your achievements and ask it to help you articulate them.
“Help me describe my work achievements in a way that impresses the company.”
Analyse the company’s performance
Research the company’s performance data is available on the internet, and ask ChatGPT to help you interpret your contribution.
“Suggest me ways I can connect personal achievements to the company’s performance?'
Prepare for the argument
Now ask ChatGPT to help prepare an argument for negotiating about the raise.
“Based on my achievements and salary data, help me to argue why I deserve a raise.”
Prepare for objections
There is a chance the manager might object to your argument. For that ask ChatGPT to suggest potential objections your manager might have and how to address them.
“What are common objections to raising requests, and how can I prepare to respond to them?”
Practice your argument
Now, use ChatGPT to create a script for starting a conversation with the manager that you can practice later on.
“Help me create an opening statement for my raise request that doesn't sound unethical or rude?”
Plan a follow-up strategy
Now, ask ChatGPT to suggest follow-up strategies if the initial request is denied.
“What are some professional ways to respond if my raise request is declined, and how can I plan for future success?”
