Overview

Are you looking to increase your salary but are not sure how to ask for a raise or higher starting pay? Many professionals leave money on the table because they don’t know what to say or do.

I’ll help you master these critical conversations with practical strategies that will make it easier for you to discuss compensation and learn how to ask for a raise with confidence.

In the first part of the webinar, I’ll share the 7 Raise Rules – essential principles you need to understand before asking for more money. These aren’t just theories; they’re based on real insights from managers about what makes them say “yes” to raise requests, as well as stories from employees who got raises.

In the second part, I’ll focus on helping you negotiate starting salaries at a new job – a skill that’s becoming increasingly important as job searches take longer. You’ll discover how to prepare for salary discussions during interviews and when receiving an offer.

Why This Matters Now

Whether you’re asking for a raise in your current role or negotiating a new position, you can’t afford to settle for less. The strategies in this webinar can mean the difference between maximizing your earning potential and missing out on the compensation you deserve.

This isn’t about being pushy or making unrealistic demands. It’s about communicating your value authentically and effectively. Want to stop wondering if you’re being paid what you’re worth? Join us for this practical webinar that can transform how to ask for a raise and approach compensation conversations.
