I'm of the thought that you start justifying your rate increase the
day after you received your last rate. Putting together a
presentation telling them why you deserve the money isn't going to
mean much. However, spend the year or quarter working that the level
of the rate you want to be at and it becomes an extension of the
process.

If at this point, you haven't justified your new rate, then it is too
late now. You are paid for what you do...not what you WILL do.
