Here's how you can negotiate a raise in line with your values and brand.

Negotiating a raise comes down to a few things: your body language, your personal brand, your leadership style. You have to build out the whole shebang of who you are. But as far as knowing your worth- you need to know everything you are capable of delivering or the experience you have in past roles and build that into what people learn about you in that personal brand. Remember- it is you that decides how much you are worth. Oh and did you know body language can also help you negotiate a bigger salary? Keep your palms visible and open during discussions; it signifies honesty and openness, making it harder for them to refute your worth.

-Market Research: Investigate salary ranges for your role and experience level in your industry. -Value Reflection: Assess your unique contributions and successes within the company. -Confident Communication: Articulate your value clearly during negotiations, aligning with your personal brand of competence and professionalism.

Here's how to ask for more money while staying true to yourself: ? Know your worth: List what you're good at and how you help. ? Do your homework: Find out what others in your job get paid. ? Practice talking: Say what you want to your mirror or a friend. ? Be honest: Tell your boss why you deserve more money because of results or skills you bring on table

Before entering any negotiation, it's crucial to understand your market value. Research industry standards, salaries for similar roles, and your unique skills and contributions. This will give you a solid foundation for your discussion.

Develop a solid proposal based on your value and research. Detail your accomplishments and demonstrate how you've positively impacted the company. It's a good idea to build a case over time, if you're willing to wait a few months before setting up your meeting.

-Align Goals: Ensure your negotiation goals reflect your values and personal brand. -Explore Options: Consider non-monetary benefits like flexible hours or professional development. -Strategic Negotiation: Approach discussions with a clear plan that highlights your professionalism and career focus.

Define what you want to achieve from the negotiation. Are you looking for a specific salary increase, additional benefits, or professional development opportunities? Clear goals will help you stay focused and articulate your needs effectively.

Establish attainable goals for both your financial and professional development. Set quantifiable goals and deadlines to monitor progress. Make sure your objectives represent your value and advance your career path by coordinating them with your values and job aspirations.

Know what you are worth. I went in for a negotiation on a new role and I knew what was being offered in the local and national market place for that role. I knew what I was bringing to the role. I knew what I wanted for both salary and benefits and what good looked like in the job market. So, when they offered me substantially lower than my current role I challenged them with the data and facts that I had. When HR said that what they were offering was competitive with the area, I could show them that it wasn't.

-Strategic Timing: Initiate discussions when your recent accomplishments are prominent. -Demonstrate Self-Awareness: Show sensitivity to business cycles and optimal moments for positive outcomes. -Enhance Personal Brand: Highlight strategic thinking and respect for organizational dynamics during negotiations.

Negotiation timing is like harvesting a ripe mango - wait too long, and its value (and sweetness!) diminishes. Ideally, initiate the conversation when you've demonstrably delivered results that align with your brand's value proposition. Think of it as presenting a compelling case study where your contributions directly translate to the company's success. This strategic timing showcases not just your worth, but your alignment with their goals, maximizing the chance of a fruitful (and delicious) outcome!

Choose opportune moments to discuss your raise, such as after accomplishing significant milestones or during performance reviews. Consider company financial health and industry trends. Approach the conversation with confidence and preparation, emphasizing how your contributions warrant an increase aligned with your value and brand.

Don't ask for a raise when you know the company is in a poor position. Choose your time to match when good news on the company results are out and be able to show how you contributed to that. Also, find out when the window for salary changes in and when the decisions are due to be made for that, then book your time in slightly BEFORE that window so you get to put your case forward

assemble proof of your contributions, abilities, and accomplishments that support a raise. When it's feasible, quantify accomplishments and emphasise complimentary remarks. Prepare a strong response for any possible complaints. Make your case clearly and concisely, showing how a rise would improve your professional brand and be consistent with your worth.

Considero que tener una buena lista de logros, responsabilidades y valores adicionales puede reflejar un estilo propio y un sentido de pertenencia excelente ademas si los resultados son visibles y medibles acercara mucho la aceptacion de la propuesta

Prepare, prepare, prepare. Show the value you add and what that means to the base line of the company. Show how you go above and beyond. If the company is not in a position to add to your salary, you could still ask for other benefits such as a learning allowance to take a course, membership of a professional body to be paid or extra leave.

Communicate your request for a rise in a clear, professional manner. Give a succinct summary of your accomplishments, abilities, and contributions to the company. Prepare a speech explaining how a pay rise reflects your accomplishments and advances business goals. A productive conversation is facilitated and comprehension is improved through effective communication.

Communicate clearly for a raise: - Be confident and assertive - Stay polite and respectful - Match your personal brand style Tips: - Be direct if that's your style - Show thoughtfulness if that's you - Use your unique approach Benefits: - Reinforces your brand - Shows you know your worth - Makes your request stronger Clear, on-brand communication helps your case.

Put your points into a logic order and dot point them. Even colour code them so you can easily see which point you want to bring up against a particular argument from line management and HR
