So come up with three numbers because expect that it's going to be a no for your first number. So but throw out the number. It depends on the situation. OK, so if you are applying for the job and you do not have the offer yet and they ask you how much you want to make, do not tie yourself to a number. Say this is the general research I've done. I've seen a ballpark.

I'd like to hear more about the role or I'm sure we can figure something out. You do want to make sure you're on the same page. Otherwise, you're actually wasting your own time as much as you're wasting their time. But I wouldn't tie yourself to a number, okay?

Okay, no. No, I disagree. I respectfully disagree. Also, she's very senior. Again, this is all contextual. But let's say you do have the offer, and they say, great, we want you to work here, or you already are working there. Then I think you should throw out the number. And you should always say the absolute highest in the market research you did.

So for you personally, that might feel outrageous, right? Compared to what you currently make, maybe that's 20, 30, 50,000 more than what you're making, you know? So good. I hope you're uncomfortable saying it, but remind yourself it's not random. You didn't pull it out of the sky. You can back it up with solid market research that you did. You talked to six real people, okay? And you also have

What I say, research and receipts. You got the receipts. You're going to back it up with examples, quantified examples of how you've impacted business bottom line and how you bring extra to the role, like access to clients, good relationships with vendors. You know, it's not just about I can do this job. It's how you're doing this job to highest possible number. They'll probably say no.

No worries, you got two more numbers to go plus full compensation. I have a whole method about this, but don't say too much. Just say that top number and then be quiet, which is very hard to do. So hard. Yeah. Silence is delightful if you can sit in it. I mean, you hear me jabbering about, shouldn't have had that espresso, Morgan. And I'm like, yeah.

You know, I actually have a funny story about how accidental silence got me a lot of money. Do tell. Yeah, so when I first became a freelancer, I had this client that I, or potential client I was negotiating with. And I said a really, really high number. Still rooted in market research, but like a scary number for me. And they said no. And I was very crushed.
