Samantha Lenger is just a few years into her career but has always negotiated her salary.
She boosted the compensation package of her very first job out of college by more than $30,000, and she didn't even do it in person.
"You can totally negotiate over email," Lenger, 24, tells CNBC Make It, and doing so can take the stress and anxiety out of the conversation.
By writing it all out clearly, Lenger could negotiate different parts of the offer package at once.
Samantha Lenger has negotiated several job offers over email and says she's even hired people who've used the same method.
