The Raise Blueprint

Build your raise request over 90 days with market data, documented wins, smart timing and a clear plan before you ask.

• 90-day raise action plan
  Follow a clear week-by-week structure to plant the seed, build momentum and make your ask with stronger timing.
• Know your number first
  Research your market value, define your Target, Walk-Away and Opening Numbers, and stop asking based on feelings.
• Build a raise case your manager can defend
  Use the Revenue, Cost and Risk framework to turn your results into business impact your manager can take to HR.
• Create your one-page Raise Dossier
  Organize your market data, top wins and salary request into a concise document that makes your case easier to approve.
• Handle “no” and “not now” professionally
  Learn how to turn vague delays into clear next steps, formal review dates and specific milestones.
• Plan beyond one raise
  Use the 12-month salary calendar and Raise Tracker to keep building leverage for your next compensation conversation.
