How Do I Mention a Promotion or Raise?

Promotion and salary increase in the workplace is a very sensitive topic, is a lot of people want to do but do not dare to do things. But if you do not take the initiative to raise the promotion and pay raise, then promotion and pay raise with you are destined to have no relationship.

Then, if there is such an idea when, before looking for the leadership of the conversation, it is necessary to master two principles:
First of all the purpose of the conversation is to promote and raise wages.
Then talk paralyzed environment must be relaxed and comfortable.


Since we have to talk about do not fight unprepared battle, before the conversation to prepare, they have those outstanding performance, how much hard power in hand, from, "time" "things" and, "people" The first thing you need to do is to think and summarize the several dimensions of the conversation.

Then run out a set of conversation process
First: say what their hard power (performance)


Two: express their ideas for promotion (promotion)


Three: listen to the leader's advice (judgment)
Four: express their attitude (obedience)


Whether the leader promotes a person, mainly depends on whether it is the person he trusts, whether it is conducive to the development of the leader's career in the future, whether it can bring convenient benefits to the leader, whether it can charge for the leader, these prerequisites a piece can not be less;

There is another point, can help the leader to take on more responsibility, including internal and external things.


Therefore, the leadership will certainly promote a person will be examined first and then carefully observed, in the usual and the leadership must be a good relationship, can not be temporary.

But a lot of things, the more active, the actual more passive.
The workplace as long as the leadership genuinely appreciate you, recognize you, simply do not have to wait for you to open your mouth, he will naturally for your core interests of consideration and grass to do.

The workplace small C. Work performance is good, practical, hardworking, but the leadership has never given him the initiative to promote and raise wages, and he has no hand hard power, so despite the idea is useless.

To know good job, and then good job performance on the value of leadership is too low, the job is done well, the leadership just think ah, this is supposed to be, this is not your credit, only belong to your scope of responsibility.

If you are in a situation like Little C. Despite the initiative to propose a promotion and salary increase, the leadership will not agree.


Workplace small b, and small C at the same time, into the company, small b not only business ability. This job is also done very well. Business ability is also strong, coordination ability, communication ability, organization ability is superior. Even know how to get along with the company leader happily. Soon, the company leaders took the initiative to give him a promotion and salary increase.


Why the same time into the small B and small C, small C need to take the initiative to put forward the promotion and salary increase, it is not possible to succeed, and small B do not have to put forward the promotion and salary increase, the leadership has given him a promotion and salary increase.
First of all, personal ability is one aspect, the more important reason is that the small b often with the workplace teacher to discuss, about the workplace knowledge, and constantly improve their own, so that in the workplace ease of use, it is easy to get the leadership to appreciate, and thus take the initiative to give the promotion and salary increase.
