B2formal

Il mio contributo ha superato gli obiettivi concordati.

My contribution has exceeded the agreed objectives.

Pronunciation

'Concordati' = kon-kor-DA-ti. Four syllables; stress the third.

When to use it

Use this when you have concrete evidence of outperformance. Always present results before making a salary request — in Italian culture, evidence of value precedes the ask.

What it means

'Superare gli obiettivi' (to exceed the objectives) is the standard Italian phrase for outperformance. 'Concordati' (agreed) makes it clear these were not arbitrary targets you set yourself.

Variations

Ho raggiunto tutti i KPI previsti per quest'anno.

I have met all the KPIs expected for this year.

'KPI' is used in Italian corporate language as is

I risultati che ho ottenuto parlano da soli.

The results I have obtained speak for themselves.

Confident and direct; use when you have undeniable data

Ho portato un fatturato aggiuntivo di X euro quest'anno.

I have brought in X euros of additional revenue this year.

Cultural Note

In Italy, raises ('aumenti') are often tied to formal reviews that happen once a year — typically in January or at the start of the new fiscal year (which often aligns with the calendar year). Bringing documented results to the table is essential.
