<prompt> Human: Hello All, Ive done my research on my market value. The range 54,950 - 96,655 with a median 73,217. Currently, my company is paying all similar positions at a minimum of 80,000. I am being offered 75,000. The company is doing the best that its ever been. So no financial hardship. My peers that were given the 80,000 have no experience.They are not more skilled than I am. I have the numbers to back it and I want to negotiate for the same pay or more. How do I approach this without sounding like Im complaining?My plan is to show the companies with similar positions who pay more. I will provide evidence of my work and the profit Ive made the company. In addition, I will share my ideas to increase revenue and demonstrate my value to the organization. Is this a good strategy? What other resources could I provide to influence their decision?  <response>: Dont reference other companies or positions unless you have offers on the table from them.Instead, I am very excited about the promotion and am looking forward to taking on that extra responsibility. However, I had expected the salary offer to be a little higher, in the 80,000-95,000 range, based on my previous performance and what is generally offered for this position. How close do you think we can get to this range?Basically, you want whatever the minimum you will settle for to be the bottom of the range odds are youd probably just settle for the 75k but have to ask for something. The top end is what the top in that position get paid on average based on your research. I will share my ideas to increase revenue and demonstrate my value to the organization.This is a good idea but only if the increasing revenue ideas you have are directly related to your position and are easily executable.
