Publisher's summary

Wondering why the pay gap exists? (hint: You have a hand in it.)

Here’s the harsh reality:

“Every bad deal you’ve gotten, you’ve agreed to.”—Margaret Neale, Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Well, what should you do?

Negotiate.

The fastest way to getting paid more is also the simplest—ask for more money.

Unfortunately, as a woman, you have to ask for money in a very specific way. So as to avoid the social backlash of being called a b*tch, arrogant, entitled etc. I know it’s tiring but rather than get mad, let’s work with what you have.

This book will help you achieve that by walking you through the following:

- The #1 negotiation style to stay away from to avoid backlash.

- 4 negotiation tactics that work best for women (use your feminine advantage!)

- How to negotiate with a powerful counterpart?

- To close the gender pay gap, don’t ask for more money. There’s a smarter way…

- We are only human, how can we negotiate ethically in a practical way?

And many more juicy tips!

It’s ok to be afraid but just start negotiating.

This book has a beginner-friendly yet extremely effective negotiation tactic that you can use from day 1, even if you’ve never negotiated before in your life, or even if you’re an introvert.

I just want you to start because every second you waste is more money down the drain.

If you want to confidently ask for what you deserve, then grab this audiobook today!

Many negotiation tools and tactics included

One of the things I appreciated most about this listen is how the author encourages listeners to be true to themselves in negotiations. She makes a convincing case that people who negotiate from a place of authenticity are more likely to achieve their goals, build stronger relationships, and feel better about the negotiation process overall. Having a degree in Psychology, I also appreciated the section on the psychology of negotiation.

Ayoka does an amazing job teaching women how to negotiate pay with real and effective negotiating tactics and to pursue them without fear. I loved the challenges, tips, and real life negotiation examples that Ayoka provides in each chapter. This audiobook’s tone is truly empowering and is a strong voice for women.
