About this audiobook
ASK FOR IT explains why it's essential to ask (men do it all the time) and teaches you how to ask effectively, in ways that feel comfortable to you as a woman. Whether you currently avoid negotiating like the plague or consider yourself hard-charging and fearless, Babcock and Laschever's compelling stories of real women will help you recognize how much more you deserve-whether it's a raise, that overdue promotion, an exciting new assignment, or even extra help around the house.
Their four-phase program, backed by years of research, will show you how to identify what you're really worth, maximize your bargaining power, develop the best strategy for your situation, and manage the reactions and emotions that may arise-on both sides. Guided step-by-step, you'll learn how to draw on your special strengths to open doors you thought were closed, reach agreements that benefit everyone involved-and propel yourself to new places both professionally and personally.
From the Compact Disc edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interesting, practical guide to getting more out of negotiations, including convincing yourself to negotiate in the first place. Women too often assume that we’ll get what we deserve, which means we get a lot less than men do, because men ask for more. Small initial differences add up into huge gaps over time. And still I feel like I have an awful lot—but I’m trying to figure out what I should be asking for, just to see if I can get it.
