1. Remember it’s just a conversation.

Salary negotiations are a conversation and collaboration between two human beings who are working out the details of a business transaction. The other person wants you to be happy, and you want them to be happy, and it's not personal, so there is no need to approach it as if someone wants to take advantage of you. You're both looking for the win-win.
