ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., October 15, 2024 – CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, today announced the launch of its new Smarter by CNBC Make It online course, How to Negotiate a Higher Salary.

Hosted by CNBC Make It Senior Work Editor Hanna Howard, the course teaches users how compensation works, how to price your own skills and how to confidently ask for what you deserve.

People who take the course receive 90 minutes of instructional video content, divided into shorter lessons that include researching salary levels, understanding how to identify your priorities, handling emotions and body language, answering difficult questions, analyzing an offer letter, making a counteroffer and more. There is also an accompanying downloadable workbook with exercises.

Course instructors who are experts in their respective fields help guide users through the process of preparing for a salary negotiation, providing tips on what to say and do once you are in one, and how to accept or renegotiate after you’ve received an offer. Experts featured include:

  • Nolan Church, FairComp.io CEO
  • Michelle Greenberg-Kobrin, law professor and negotiation specialist
  • Farah Sharghi, career coach, HR expert and technical recruiter

“While most Americans are unsatisfied with how much they’re paid, they often don’t ask their prospective or current boss for more,” said Jenna Goudreau, Vice President and Executive Editor of CNBC Make It. “Negotiating is scary and can bring up feelings of guilt and self-doubt. But it’s also one of the most important things professionals at every career level can do to increase their earning power. We want to help by equipping workers with the knowledge and tools they need to ask for what they deserve and get it.”

Smarter by CNBC Make It courses offer expert-led instructions, actionable insights and comprehensive curricula that help users boost their career and income. Other courses in the portfolio include: How to Ace Your Job Interview, How to Earn Passive Income Online, Become an Effective Communicator and Master Your Money are available for purchase at smarter.cnbcmakeit.com.
