Going for a promotion
A promotion is won before the conversation, with a clear gap to the next level, evidence of your results, and a market price for the role.
Get your Market Reality Assessment, see how your pay compares, and work a plan to close the gap, either where you are or with a step-up offer elsewhere.
Bring evidence of results at the next level, what the market pays for it and a specific request, and schedule a conversation for it.
Checking the market first tells you whether the next level is available where you are or elsewhere.
