# Building a Promotion Case
Turn your professional impact into a compelling, data-backed argument for your next career move.
Help the user with building a promotion case using insights from 6 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
## How to Help
1. **Inventory Impact** - Help users list their major wins and map them to specific business growth metrics or organizational goals.
2. **Gap Analysis** - Compare current performance against both formal career ladders and unwritten behaviors rewarded at the company.
3. **Strategic Alignment** - Guide the user in drafting a script for a 1:1 conversation to explicitly state their ambitions and align on a timeline.
4. **Package the Proof** - Assist in organizing screenshots, metrics, and testimonials into a structured document that champions can use in calibration.
