First, research industry standards and market rates for your level of skill and experience. Emphasize your unique value offering, such as specialized knowledge, award-winning services, or customer testimonials. Focus on the tangible contribution you bring to the table and communicate with confidence.

Ultimately, your goal is to establish yourself as a worthwhile spare asset with a reasonable and competitive fee.

The more skills you have the easier it will be to negotiate with people and justify higher rates. Therefore, if you research how much your skills are worth it will help you with your negotiation.

But also having the relationships and rapport with the company will go a lot further when it comes to worth. Esp if it's something like 5% 10% more a year.

Learning something for a single client that you could never use in your profession sounds crazy. But I learnt so may skill that I could never use again in my career I didn't regret about it. I feel if client's are happy it doesn't matter that much.
