Asking for a Raise
Welcome to Asking for a Raise. Do you think you're being paid what you're worth? Do you know what your market value is? Have you asked for a raise in the last couple of years? If you answered no to any of those questions, you are in the right place and here's why. Research on salary negotiation reveals that 37% of people always negotiate salary, 44% negotiate occasionally. But here's the killer, nearly 1/5 never negotiate their salaries at all.
Research also shows that those who fail to negotiate, starting with their first job, stand to lose up to one million dollars over the course of their careers. So why would people choose to leave that much money on the table? Well if the idea of negotiating makes you nervous, then you're not alone. Fear is the number one reason. I've designed this course to empower you to connect your self worth to your market worth and to provide a set of strategies for approaching a negotiation in a collaborative conversational way.
So whether you're looking for a raise or promotion or are in the job market right now, we'll focus on three crucial steps, assessing your career and personal brand, research and preparation, and creating a strategy for your at-the-table conversation. So let's dive in.
Connect your self worth to your market worth: ask for a raise! In this course, executive coach and negotiation consultant Lisa Gates provides practical tools and advice to help you understand your professional value and communicate that value to your employer. She shows how you can determine your market value and how to use that information to establish your "anchor" in your salary negotiation. She also helps guide you through the actual salary discussion, providing scripts to get past "no," and shows how to lay the foundation for future negotiations by cultivating a network of influencers and continuing to grow professionally.
