Today’s guest is Alexandra Dickinson, Founder and CEO of Ask For It, a negotiation training and coaching business.

In this episode, Alexandra and I discuss how negotiating doesn’t need to feel combative and unpleasant. She gives tactics and advice on a myriad of topics including figuring out an appropriate salary range, practicing for a salary negotiation conversation, and handling the question “how much do you currently make?”
