Start 2026 Strong with
The Salary Negotiations System
An on-demand master class for professional women to ask for a raise, promotion, title change, or scope upgrade with a clear plan, even when budgets and approvals are real constraints.
✔ What to say when asked for salary expectations
✔ How to counter an offer and handle “non-negotiable”
✔ A clear plan for an internal raise or promotion
Unlimited access. Watch on your schedule.
This master class is for you if you’re a professional woman who wants your pay, title, and scope to match the work you’re already doing.
You’ll get the most value if you:
- are already performing, but your compensation or title hasn’t caught up
- want a simple system to follow, not generic negotiation tips
- need clear language for a raise, promotion, title change, or scope upgrade
- keep hearing “not right now,” “no budget,” or “we’ll revisit later”
- want a plan for timing, documentation, and follow-up so the conversation doesn’t stall
You shouldn’t have to guess what to say.
Pay decisions run through approvals, budgets, and pay bands.
If you don’t know how that process works, it’s easy to accept a vague ‘not right now.
This master class gives you a simple system and the exact language to use so you can make a clear ask, stay professional, and keep the relationship strong.
And you’ll follow a straightforward 3-step plan so you always know what to do next.
When you have a system, you stop guessing
You stop walking out of meetings thinking, “I should’ve said that differently.”
Without a system, the default is delay.
And delay usually means you keep doing more work without the pay, title, or scope to match.

Body Language Strategies for Building Credibility and Professionalism, Taught by Linda Clemons®️
-
What are the common mistakes that executives make when entering negotiations?
-
What are the key body language indicators that show that one is prepared and confident during salary negotiations?
-
What are the subtle cues to look for in the interviewer to gauge interest?
-
How does one leave a lasting impression during a negotiation without seeming aggressive?
-
How can we ensure that our body language exudes confidence and professionalism on video during salary negotiations?
Worried they’ll label you “difficult”?
Internal negotiations go better when you’re specific, calm, and focused on outcomes. You’ll learn language that keeps the tone collaborative while still being direct.
What if they say it’s not possible?
You’ll learn what to ask for next, what tradeoffs to consider, and how to get a clear plan instead of an open-ended “we’ll see.”
Will this guarantee a raise or promotion?
No. Companies have constraints. What you can control is your process. You’ll get a repeatable system, scripts, and a follow-up plan you can use across roles and seasons.
Don't just take our word for it...
