How To Ask For, And Get, The Raise You Deserve

57% of employees have never asked for a raise, according to a recent PayScale survey.

We avoid the subject entirely for three main reasons: 1) talking about money is uncomfortable, 2) we don’t want to come off as pushy, and 3) we’re worried about repercussions.

But what if asking for a raise was less risky?

Would you take the chance of asking for a raise if you were more confident you wouldn’t be rejected?

Thankfully, there are effective ways to ask for a raise and improve your chances of getting it!

This Blueprint will answer to your questions, guide you through challenges, and dive into the dos and don'ts of requesting a salary increase with step-by-step actions you can take to make winning your raise far more likely, plus:

  • How to prepare for the ask
  • How to take strategic advantage of timing
  • How to sell your positive professional qualities
  • How to improve your negotiation skills to impress your boss and executives
  • How to avoid the pitfalls that reduce your chances of getting that raise
