Subject: 💡 Tips to ace in your Performance Review session
Body:
Hello there,
As we begin the performance review process, here are a few tips for a successful performance review session.
- Take note of your achievements throughout the year— If you recorded your accomplishments as they happened, you could check through your work log document.
- Be specific and use numbers to your advantage— For example, it is better to write "I exceeded my sales target for 2021 by 70%" than writing "I achieved tremendous results this year."
- Provide evidence to back up your examples and statements of the result— For example, "During the second quarter, the marketing campaign I championed gained 200% more visibility than expectation."
- Reference your job description to account for the company's objectives— For example, as a sales team member, your contribution to the company's aim will be to improve sales by a certain percent. Find the specific numbers you contributed and highlight them.
