What Are Your Self-Stats? | by Jenny Slukynsky

Numbers have power. They tell stories, create clarity, and define progress. In business and in life, self-stats are those quickly measurable ways to mark the value you bring in the most traditional sense - through data, impact, and outcomes.

Think of them as your personal scorecard for success.

Why Self-Stats Matter

We live in a results-driven world. Whether you’re in a job interview, pitching a client, or asking for a raise, you’ll need proof of your value. That proof often comes in the form of numbers that matter:

• How much you’ve grown revenue

• How many leads you’ve generated

• How much efficiency you’ve created

Self-stats are your instant credibility builders. They take the guesswork out of your worth.

Examples of Self-Stats

Your stats depend on your field, but here are a few universal examples:

• Sales & Revenue: "Increased revenue by 25% YoY"

• Efficiency Wins: "Cut project turnaround time by 30%"

• Engagement Growth: "Grew social media audience by 15,000 in 6 months"

• Conversion Power: "Boosted email open rate from 18% to 35%"

These numbers tell a story: You deliver measurable results.

How to Find Your Self-Stats

1. Look at Past Wins: Pull data from reports, dashboards, or case studies.

2. Tie to Outcomes: What result did your action create?

3. Track Continuously: Make it a habit to document your impact every quarter.

4. Align with Goals: Choose stats that match what matters most to your role or industry.

Self-stats aren’t just numbers - they’re a confidence booster and a negotiation tool. When you know your measurable value, you show up stronger - whether it’s for a promotion, a new role, or a client pitch.
