I used phrases like "would you consider" or "is it possible" in conjunction with my requests. I also used a chapter from Dale Carnegie and appealed to the interest of the company. I was able to show how the company saved a TON of money by hiring me without the aid of a recruiter or having to relocate me. Consequently, I was able to negotiate a $10,000 signing bonus - in a lousy economy! Finally, I like to have at least one throw away request to set up that big WIN. I asked for something reasonable, but which I was pretty sure I would not get, thus providing a win for the boss. Thanks, Jeff Sheiner Atlanta Drew,
