A money expert who previously secured a $10K raise advises that achieving everything you desire isn't the ultimate objective: "You have no control over that."

Tori Dunlap learned early in her career the importance of negotiating salary.

The strategy that helped her earn an additional $10,000 on a job offer was crucial to her saving $100,000 by age 25 and launching Her First $100K, a financial education platform aimed at women and underrepresented groups.

Dunlap, now 30, tells CNBC Make It that she has learned through experience that successfully negotiating a new job doesn't necessarily mean getting everything you want because you don't have control over that.

"Success in a negotiation, for me, is about showing up well-prepared, combining all of your data, and doing your best."

Considering a negotiation as a dialogue rather than a zero-sum game can enable you to focus on aspects of a compensation package other than salary.

If an employer cannot meet your salary expectations, you can negotiate non-monetary perks such as paid time off, work-from-home days, job title, or something else that is significant to you, Dunlap advises.

According to Stacie Haller, chief career advisor at ResumeBuilder with over 30 years of recruiting experience, it's a positive sign when an employer is open to negotiating multiple aspects of an offer, even if you don't get everything you want on your wish list.

"When people negotiate, they primarily seek to feel that they have received something in return," she explains. "Even if it's a small concession, it makes them feel valued and appreciated. This demonstrates goodwill on the part of the negotiator, as they are willing to make an extra effort to accommodate the other party's needs."

"It's not necessary to have everything, but it's important to know what you need and not compromise on it," Haller advises.

It is beneficial to anticipate future performance and salary evaluations, and inquire about the company's frequency of such reviews. The hiring manager can provide insight into the requirements for obtaining a salary increase, such as specific skills or achievements, and the estimated timeline for the process, advises Haller.

Dunlap suggests that accepting an offer can be helpful in proving a raise when the inevitable actions are taken.
