What happens in this story4 scenarios
They ask your rate. Your stomach drops. You know what you're worth — and you know the number you're about to say is lower. The gap between your value and your courage is about to become visible.
What started with the rate conversation just got more complicated. Now you need to state your rate with confidence and hold firm under pushback — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Writing a LinkedIn post that doesn't make you want to delete your account — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to state your rate with confidence and hold firm under pushback not just today, but every time this situation returns.
