Fuck that.
Stop thinking of yourself as an individual employee and start thinking of yourself as a member of a union. Then actually form that union.
You don't get across-the-board raises by "generating leads". You get them by collectively bargaining.
And I reject entirely the notion that one should be only looking out for one's own gain.

I went from washing dishes to six figures my way. Has your way done well for you thus far?

Moving to a union environment has left me working fewer hours, getting better benefits, and more than doubling my salary. I'm glad things worked out for you [presumably in what is currently one of the hottest occupations], but a union has been a boon to my total compensation.
The whole point is this isn't about you. This is about all of us.
We live in a society, and we damn well need to start acting like it again, rather than the proverbial crabs in a bucket, desperately stepping on each other to try to get ourselves higher.

What union are you in?
In a high inflation environment you may find yourself in a position where you have to shift more resources to sales rather than operations. Your current situation with it's pre-inflation salary might just not meet your business goals. Just like they may choose to spend additional income from inflation adjustments on things other than your salary, you can choose how much time you devote to things that are important to you depending on how they reward you.
