⟩ Why would you ask your boss what you can do differently?
This demonstrates your willingness to take your boss's opinions into account. It may be that both of you can agree on increased responsibilities and activities over a certain time period that gradually leads to a new role and a pay increase. This will also demonstrate your commitment to your job and your ability to work hard. Your boss will see you as a go-getter and you will be on his radar the next time raise season rolls around.
☛ If you are a star employee, keep performing excellently and ask again in a few months time.
