Whether you are an employee for a company or a business owner, one primary goal is to increase your salary or revenue.

How to Get Paid More for Your Work by J C Sum | Evolve & Adapt Singapore

One of the time-tested and proven ways to get paid more is to ensure you offer value to your company or customers.

In today’s competitive landscape, it is not always enough to offer basic value. Especially if you are not at the top of the food chain. 

If you are a small business competing with much more established companies and maybe even global brands, just having a product or service that everyone offers is not enough, even if it is marginally better.

Likewise, if you are an employee, you are competing with peers. Some may have more experience or better education qualifications. 

Some might be with the company for a longer time and know how to play the political game. If you just do the work you are hired for competently, it may not be enough to stand out from your peers.

Having a differentiated value is vital to get an edge over the competition.

So how can you provide more value to your company and earn more?

Join certified marketing management consultant, J C Sum, as he discusses ways you can do to get paid more for your work.
