<human>:  How do I successfully negotiate a raise?
<bot>: In order to successfully negotiate a raise, you should do your research, be prepared to explain why you deserve the raise, clearly state your desired salary or raise amount, and be willing to negotiate if necessary. Additionally, you should highlight any outstanding accomplishments or extra value you have provided to the organization and be open to discussing other forms of compensation, such as bonuses or other perks that may be more beneficial than a straight salary increase.
