There is a common misconception that there isn’t the opportunity to get a raise/bonus/promotion in today’s economy. This is FALSE. If you have increasing value as a professional, you should and will get a raise/bonus/promotion. You have to prove that you are worth it and it is up to you to ASK FOR IT and not assume that it will be given to you if it’s available. You have to be your own cheerleader and be able to back it up with measurable evidence on why you should get what you deserve. The one topic in What Men Don’t Tell Women About Business that comes up the most is the point that women as for ‘what they think they can get‘ rather than ‘what they really want‘.

Here is a tool that I used with a NY Post piece I was asked to comment on. Click on the picture to get the download.  You should put as much time into the preparation of your review as you would anything else. This is your time to shine. Ask for what you want and you’ll likely get it!
