Few messages from people who have gone through this masterclass...

Your promotion isn't just dependent on what you say or do in the actual appraisal meeting!

In Acing The Appraisal, I teach you the exact strategy and the step-by-step process to get the promotion and increment you deserve.

That includes a specific strategy for each of these stages...

πŸ“Œ Steps you need to take through the year to position yourself for the promotion (and these are over and above doing good work which, of course, is the basic criteria for career elevation)

πŸ“Œ What you need to do 2-4 weeks prior to your performance review

πŸ“Œ How you need to approach the actual appraisal meeting

πŸ“Œ Exact process that needs to be carried out for 4 weeks *after* the performance review

πŸ“Œ Your 12 week post-performance-review strategy in order to ensure subsequent bonuses and continued career elevation

Acing The Appraisal will give you lasting career elevation because it is a holistic approach towards performance reviews, and not just a bunch of clever lines to be used in the appraisal meeting!

Regardless of where you are in the appraisal cycle, you can turn it in your favour... just like these clients did...

Surprise and disbelief of a client as she applied what she learnt, and got a 30% increment for the responsibilities that she was already handling! (half-yearly review)

Got a 10% increment and a role elevation completely unplanned and in the middle of the year!

Got a promotion in half-yearly cycle instead of having to wait for the next appraisal cycle

Get ready to go from feeling helpless about having to wait till the next appraisal cycle to being given role elevations and increments for the value you bring to the organisation!

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Lower rating than you originally expected  

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Lack of clarity on the increment that you are due to receive  

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Getting more responsibilities but not a match in pay raise  

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Verbal promises of a promotion but no formal letter

FAQs

1. How is Acing The Appraisal delivered?
This is a self-paced course with 3 lessons. The first lesson is a 35 min pre-recorded masterclass, the second lesson is a 2hrs 10 min pre-recorded masterclass, and the third lesson is an 80 min session. I have made the first lesson privy to everyone at no charge. If you scroll up, you can watch the 35 min video recording of the first masterclass.

2. How long do I have access to the course material?
Lifetime access!  

3. Is Acing The Appraisal suitable for entry-level professionals or senior professionals? 
It gives me great pride to share that the strategies and processes I share in Acing The Appraisal cater to professionals at all career levels! It doesn't matter if you have 2 years of work experience or 20, what I teach here applies to any and all corporate professionals!

4. How much time will I have to dedicate? 
The total content spans ~4 hours but I do not recommend binge watching it. Instead, it's best consumed over 2 weeks by putting in ~20 min a day. This will allow you to internalise and do the activities suggested therein. It will also improve your efficacy in implementing what you learn.

5. Is there personalised support with the course? 
No, this is a self-paced course with no personalised support from me. However, I have covered every aspect of what you may face during the performance review process. This masterclass has everything I do with my 1:1 clients bundled up in a self-paced, easy to follow masterclass that you have lifetime access to.

6. I do not like to boast or talk about my achievements; I'd rather be appreciated organically. Will this masterclass require me to 'ask for appreciation'?
Not at all! You will never need to act in ways that don't align with your value system. At no point will you need to toot your own horn, instead I will teach how to use data to make an airtight case for your promotion and increment.

7. I don't want to do anything that can risk my relationship with my management. Will this masterclass require me to speak up to ask for my due?
Nope! You will not need to have even one single uncomfortable conversation with your manager. What I teach will help you make your case for career elevation without burning bridges or ruining relationships!

8. I already had my annual appraisal, how can this masterclass help me now?
Acing The Appraisal details out 5 different strategies that you need to follow through the year...
πŸ“Œ Steps you need to take through the year to position yourself for the promotion
πŸ“Œ What you need to do 2-4 weeks prior to your performance review  
πŸ“Œ How you need to approach the actual appraisal meeting  
πŸ“Œ Exact process that needs to be carried out for 4 weeks *after* the performance review  
πŸ“Œ Your 12 week post-performance-review strategy in order to ensure subsequent bonuses and continued career elevation
So regardless of which stage you're in, there's a lot to learn and apply especially if your recent appraisal wasn't what you wanted it to be, and you'd like to get a promotion mid-cycle.

9. Why is the price of the course for those based outside India not an exact currency conversion of INR to USD? 
My pricing is based on Purchasing Power Parity and not Currency Conversion Rate. Most multinational brands price their products based on this.

That's why, when you buy a packet of Maggi noodles (or anything else for that matter) outside India, it is not an exact currency conversion of the INR amount that it's sold for in India but rather adjusted to purchasing power parity.  

For eg. a can of coke costs about β‚Ή50 in India and about $2 in the US. This is different from currency conversion because β‚Ή50 is much lesser than a dollar. So the purchasing power parity right now between INR and USD is about β‚Ή25 which means that the value of β‚Ή25 is about the same as value of $1 in terms of what you can buy from it.

And that's how this course is priced as well.

Moment of Truth: How much have you missed out on?

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ What if the reason you're stuck in your career is because you lacked the tools to navigate performance reviews successfully?  

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ How is not being able to get the increment you deserve affecting your quality of life?

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ How many opportunities have you missed because of not knowing the proven strategies to ace your appraisal?

The truth is that if you'd like to take control of your career, you will need to follow a proven process that makes an irrefutable case for your career growth rather than think of clever lines to say in an appraisal!

And that's exactly what I teach in this course!

As a result of this course, appraisals will no longer be frustrating, and you will be able to...

πŸ’₯ Showcase your work such that you get the rating you desire

πŸ’₯ Convert those verbal promises into an actual promotion  

πŸ’₯ Get increments that match the responsibilities you handle

In short...
