If the time came to negotiate a salary increase and you don't know how to start preparing for that delicate conversation with your boss, follow these five recommendations from business expert and communicator Lili Gil Valletta.

For her, the first advice is to get well informed and make intelligent use of the Internet, knowing how to take advantage of the information available in applications such as Glassdoor, Dice and the Monster.com page that have data on average wages in the market.

The Colombian communicator is one of the celebrities who will participate in the 2020 edition of Poderosas LIVE! that is celebrated next March 14 in Miami. On the way to the meeting, she points out that when talking about salary increases at work, it is essential not to improvise and not let emotions take control of the situation.

“You have to let the numbers tell the story. The best conversation is objective and not emotional. The mistake that can be made is that you have the conversation asking, victimizing yourself or expressing a lack of comfort at work, which puts the employer on the defensive,”he exclusively explained to People en Español.

The co-founder and executive director of the companies Culturintel and Cien + stressed that it is necessary to highlight 3 to 5 points on the contributions that have been achieved in the position that she occupies to demonstrate that "no favors are being asked."

In addition, Gil Valletta understands that the correct use of the language is important so as not to fall into any trap. In his opinion, instead of using words like "I deserve", it is better to say "the fair market price for a role like mine suggests that I win …".

Another of his recommendations is to develop emotional intelligence to visualize oneself in the desired position.

He stressed that belonging to the Latino culture is an advantage that must be taken advantage of, since it helps the employee to have a fresh and different vision that can be used by the company for a better understanding of the Hispanic market in the United States.

Gil Valletta will participate in Poderosas PRO as part of a panel on Latinas in a very demanding corporate world with Melissa Medina and Ileana Musa at 8:00 am on Saturday, March 14 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami.
