Salary increase next month

I'll be honest, here's where I am now:
£55k base ($65k)
£20k commish, uncapped ($23k)

Been a SDR for 3 years, currently Sr SDR but been a team lead and mgr at my former company. 

I brought in 40 new logos the last year, is 20% increase in base insane? or too low? 

What should I ask for?

You can keep this on the same thread and just edit the post to keep your question and information together. Just a heads up. Or else this may be seen as spammy and you may get booted.

with that being said, I would ask for a 20% myself, but just know that your quota is also going to go up. Why not try to transition to AE?

Ohhh I was wondering, ok cool will edit next time for sure. I’m making my way to AE, just not sure I want to do the role at my current company. If they pay me more for being Sr SDR then I’ll be happy. Also forgot to mention, right now I get 1% on every outbound an AE closes but I insisted I get 1.5% on inbound and 3% outbound… gotta make those dollahs

I think you should temper your expectations. 10% is probably reasonable, 20% probably isn't. But shoot your shot

Document the value you have brought into the company and let the numbers speak with themselves.

Ask for 30% and for an AE role. You'll:

1) Either get 20% and a promise for AE in 6 months
2) Or get 25% and be asked to keep performing as SDR
3) Or get 15% and you'd make a choice of looking out
*4) Actually get 30% and AE if you're worth your salt

Cheers and all the best!

Well you certainly can ask to start a negotiation.

Shooters shoot!!

Good luck, but 20% is a super high raise for base solely unless you are getting promoted.

You can ask for 10% base 10% increase in commish, that has a better chance than just base IMO

This is actually waay better. But if you are getting 1% rev now, ask for 2%, you just doubled your commission and got 10% on your base
