It’s gonna happen. As your business grows and your team members ponder their futures, they’ll want to know how much you value them. Like, exactly how much.
Whether you employ freelancers, full-timers, or contractors, shelling out the dough to keep the right people on board is a must.

Well in advance of any raise requests, you need to have an established playbook for considering them. If you’re caught off guard, you may make the wrong decision — either paying too much, or losing an employee who was totally worth it.
