<human>:  What is the best way to negotiate a raise?
<bot>: The best way to negotiate a raise is to be well-prepared with research and data to support your request. Find out the average salaries for your position and area, and show your employer how your skills, experience, and accomplishments have gone above and beyond what is typical. Present a confident but polite case to your employer, giving them several options to choose from, and be ready to negotiate.
