In some companies, salary increases are possible after talking with the boss. Promotion is provided only to those who deserve it. It is important to choose the right moment to speak with management and think about how to conduct the conversation.
Instructions
Step 1
Ask yourself honestly how much has grown compared to last year. If the functionality has not changed and you continue to make the same mistakes, it is too early to expect a salary increase. In this case, it makes more sense to talk to management about expanding responsibilities and how to get rid of mistakes. If the conversation turns out to be constructive and helpful, after a while the salary will be raised without reminders.
Step 2
Think about which projects have been successfully completed recently and which ones are particularly significant. You must definitely tell your superiors about them. This will be the main argument in favor of raising wages. You should not brag and exaggerate the merits, but if you did something well, took responsibility for the result and achieved it, this needs encouragement.
Step 3
Choose the moment. You should not start negotiations on the topic of salaries if you are not alone in your boss's office. You should not try to talk about a promotion during an emergency. It is best to talk to your supervisor during lunch (if you are having lunch together) or afterwards. At this time, people are most relaxed and friendly.
Step 4
Start your conversation by listing what you have done successfully in the past. You can show the management a list of completed projects. Say that you are ready to take on a new responsibility. Imagine trading a few previously unused skills for money, which is beneficial to both parties. Conduct the conversation calmly, without showing negative emotions, even in case of refusal. Perhaps it will be possible to return to the conversation in a couple of months.
Step 5
Be prepared for the fact that management will not give an answer right away. This is normal, as the leader needs to consult with his superiors. But if within two weeks there is no response to the request, try to remind about it.
Step 6
In case of refusal, you should not threaten that you will immediately write a letter of resignation. Perhaps the refusal was caused by objective reasons and the company is really unable to pay higher salaries. Accordingly, the authorities will agree to your departure.
