What Clients Say About
Our Guidance on Negotiations

Negotiating techniques were valuable. This is an area I admittedly am not very good at, but the advice and results speak for themselves. I increased my initial base salary by $15,000 and negotiated a $10,000 relocation allowance. This was all ITS. In addition, the strategizing on how to handle multiple opportunities once I received an initial offer was very helpful. Title: Senior Manager, Transaction Advisory Services Field/Ind./Loc.: Accounting / Diversified Financial Services, NY

Really valuable were the resumes, the information I could get on employers and your negotiating experience. A friend who started with them a few months ago commented that he had never thought about many of the points I had asked for. My compensation is 40% more. Title: VP Operations, Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance Field/Ind./Loc.: Aviation/Defense Contractor, Southwest

ITS's coaching on negotiations was very helpful, particularly guidance on all responses to offers and the letters we drafted together. Title: Channel Marketing Director Field/Ind./Loc.: Mutual Fund Organization, Mid-Atlantic States

I especially appreciated the regular followup calls to keep a job seeker on track, the interviewing techniques, and the negotiating techniques (especially examples of written letters that show you how to craft a constructive argument or push for better compensation, benefits, etc.). Title: Director Field/Ind./Loc.: Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Mid-Atlantic States

The marketing materials and negotiation guidance were very helpful. I appreciate the extensive amount of time we spent going over stock option language. My earnings were 43% higher.

The negotiation techniques Lucy taught me have helped me in many areas, even outside of my job search. The simple phrases and questions she taught me to use have increased my confidence level, and opened my eyes to opportunities that I didn't know were out there. All I had to do was ask! Title: Technical Architect / Partner Field/Ind./Loc.: IT Consulting, TX

Melissa K was outstanding in her responses and assistance throughout the campaign. Melissa's help with negotiations was worth $25,000 to me. Needless to say I had a very good experience with ITS. Title: Senior Vice President Field/Ind./Loc.: Commercial Bank, Midwest

The ability to have ITS analyze my offer was helpful to make sure it was comprehensive and did not have any weak links. It has meant $20,000 more to me and my family. Thanks again for the support! Title: Real Estate Asset Manager Field/Ind./Loc.: Commercial Real Estate, Mountain States

I think the biggest advantage I received from ITS was the advice on negotiation. I struggled with how to handle or deal with some issues concerning compensation for this position and location for other opportunities.
