Negotiating your salary is not just about numbers — it’s about power, preparation, and perception. Yet, studies show nearly 60% of professionals accept their first offer without negotiating. Why? Because they lack data, confidence, or practice. This is where NesaWorks changes the game.
The Negotiation Problem in India
Many professionals fear negotiation due to:
- Lack of benchmarks — they don’t know what peers are earning.
- Fear of rejection or offer withdrawal.
- Uncertainty on how to phrase asks professionally.
The result: lakhs left on the table every year.
Recruiter Tactics You Need to Know
Anchoring
Recruiters set a low range early to define expectations.
Urgency Pressure
Phrases like “We need your decision today” reduce your time to research.
Framing
Offers are positioned as “competitive” even if below market value.
How NesaWorks Builds Negotiation Confidence
1. Salary Worthiness Reports
Reports provide percentile-backed ranges. Example: “Your worth is ₹18–20 LPA. Your current salary is at the 45th percentile.” This equips you with a fact-based counter when recruiters undervalue your role.
2. Negotiation Talking Points
Premium and Ultimate reports include ready-to-use negotiation lines, helping professionals articulate asks clearly and respectfully.
3. Evaluation Calls
These mock HR interviews simulate real recruiter questions, preparing you to answer confidently and avoid traps.
4. Simulated Negotiation Calls
Unique to NesaWorks, these calls let you rehearse high-stakes conversations. Our analysts role-play as HR managers, giving you practice before the real discussion.
Case Studies: Confidence in Action
Case 1: The Undervalued Analyst
Kiran was offered ₹10 LPA for a data analyst role. His NesaWorks report showed ₹13–15 LPA was standard. He used the report in discussions and closed at ₹14.5 LPA.
Case 2: The Promotion Pitch
Leena, a senior designer, wanted a promotion. With mock calls, she practiced framing her value. She negotiated both a promotion and a ₹5 LPA raise.
Case 3: Switching with Confidence
Ajay, an engineer, had two offers. Simulated calls gave him the confidence to counter. He secured ₹3 LPA more from his preferred employer.
Why Confidence Matters More Than Ever in 2025
With remote work and global hiring, candidates compete not just locally but internationally. Confidence backed by data is no longer optional — it’s survival.
