Here's how you can showcase your worth and secure a raise in salary discussions.

1. Highlight Your Experience:    Begin by outlining your relevant experience. Emphasize your expertise and how it aligns with your current role.  2. Showcase Your Achievements:    Provide concrete examples of your accomplishments. Quantify your contributions where possible, such as how you’ve driven revenue growth, expanded market share, or improved operational efficiency. Specific achievements make a compelling case for your value to the company. 3. Emphasize Your Impact:    Discuss the impact your work has had on the company. Highlight how your efforts have contributed to the organization’s strategic goals. 

I’ll share only one concept here & then I’ll expound on it. Don’t focus so much about the salary just add the value. Many would express they are underpaid. Some would even argue they are both underpaid and undervalued. While this may be true the question remains. Would you offer someone your desired salary if they offered you your current effort your skillset, your abilities, your passion? No? Yes? What’s in your tool bag? What are you offering?What solutions do you bring? How do you move their organization forward? What’s your real skills? In my experience an employer even a clients will match or exceed your value only with compensation but with resources as well if you can truly deliver consistent value. They know it, they can feel it.

Yes. I have a unique skill that I bring to the table always. A problem-solving skill and proactive support. Mostly, I create a different perspective on the job that brings sustainability to the business for all stakeholders.

Highlight your achievements, be confident but not proud. Highlight your experience and what you have learnt from it and how do you plan on using it to bring more development to the firm.

Help your boss say yes to you. Help him or her not to forget your impact on the company. Be sure to highlight your ability to solve problems from a different perspective proactively. Focus on the value you add, not just from a financial point of view

Knowledge is power! Research average salaries for your role and experience level in your region. Utilize industry reports and salary comparison websites to arm yourself with data that reflects your market worth.

Choose the right moment. Initiate the conversation during a positive performance review or after completing a significant project. When the company is recognizing your contributions, it strengthens your position in the negotiation.

Shift the focus to value proposition. Don't just ask for money. Highlight how a raise allows you to contribute even more to the company's success. Frame it as an investment in your continued growth and increased value to the team.

While negotiating, don't focus on winning, focus on explaining the value you bring. Once you have successfully showed the value you bring with you, price becomes just a number.

Help your boss say yes to you. Help him or her not to forget your impact on the company. Try different perspectives. Focus on the value you add.

Confidence is key! Anticipate potential objections and rehearse your responses beforehand. Prepare data to counter arguments and be clear about the raise you deserve. Strong communication will increase your chances of a successful negotiation.

As a business owner and employee I under the need from both perspective. Specially from business perspective if you have to retain the employee, the salary raise is sometimes the onlu solution. But if the employee can understand the business and they know hoe they can add value to increase the business value, there is almost no additional effort required to get a raise.

Persistence pays off! If you don't receive an immediate answer, follow up politely within a reasonable timeframe. Reiterate your value and express your continued interest in reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

Help your manager say yes to you Over time log what you've accomplished Tie those accomplishments to a measurable figure/stat showing how your work impacts company budget, timeline, growth, reputation, and/or mission Culminate this log as case points to present to your manager This allows you to not forget your impact over time and allows your manager to visually see your full outcome scope and impact to merit a raise

All the above options are valid, but as a business owner as well, I well understand the importance of retention and cost of raise as well. If an employee understands that how they can add value to the business, there is almost effortless increase jn the pay scale. We live in a capitalist society, where market supply and demand can work in favor of you and against you as well.
