Before you go to talk with your boss about asking for a raise, you should be prepared for failure. The reason is very simple. After all, you ask the boss to bring out real money and silver, and he always needs to consider it. Moreover, if he meets your requirements at the moment, he may have some additional concerns, such as what other people think.
So even if you are fully prepared when talking about this matter, and your words are flawless, there is still a great probability that you will not be agreed on the spot.
But the key is what else have you gained through this communication?
In fact, every communication has its core purpose, but it does not mean that the core purpose is our only purpose.
For example, in today's topic, the purpose of communication must be to get a raise, but in addition to this, we can have other additional gains, the main two are:
The first point is: I didn't get the real reason for the raise;
The second point is: a clear expectation of the next salary increase.
The first is the real reason why we didn't get a raise. In fact, we didn't get a raise in a company, which is not the most troublesome problem. The most troublesome thing is that we don't know why we can't get a raise. By communicating with your boss, in fact, you can roughly understand the real reason why you can't get a raise.
In fact, the best result is that through such communication, we can clarify what the conditions for the boss to give a raise are. Whether we put forward more requirements for performance or more specific conditions for work results, as long as the other party speaks, it will also give us a clear goal.
In fact, this is why we suggest that when you ask your boss for a salary increase, you should first ask him when he can raise your salary. If he has refused your request for a salary increase and you ask him again, then how can you raise your salary? It seems that you are aggressive.
Instead, reverse the order and ask how to raise the salary before talking about whether to raise it. This will make him feel that we are just talking about this matter in a neutral and objective way.
In fact, even in the worst case, you find that your boss has never considered the idea of salary adjustment for anyone. At least let you understand that the value of continuing to work in this company can be an important reference for your entire career planning.
Talk to the leader about the correct way to raise salary:
1. Your value determines the leader's attitude towards you
In the workplace, the person who is most appreciated and valued by leaders is the person who can create value for the company. Your ability to create value for the company determines the leader's attitude towards you.
If you do a job that no one else can replace, and can create great value for the company, or you have strong ability to create more profits for the company.
Sometimes, when you don't need to raise your salary, the leader will also take the initiative to raise your salary.
If you work for others, you are a dispensable person for the company, and your salary can only be maintained at the average level. If you give your leader a raise, he or she may say something back to you. If you think your salary is low, leave.
The workplace is so realistic. If you want to raise your salary, you should first improve your irreplaceability in the workplace. Find a promising direction and constantly improve your ability in this field. When your ability becomes stronger and stronger, your irreplaceability becomes higher and higher, and leaders attach more importance to you.
2. Talk about achievements before talking about wages
When you want to raise your salary, you should first ask yourself why the company wants to give you a raise. One important reason why the company is willing to give you a raise is that you have made achievements in a certain area.
For example, you have developed a very popular product, or your sales performance is far higher than others, or you lead a team to create great achievements for the company.
When talking to the leader about salary increase, you should let the leader know what efforts you have made, what achievements you have made, what the average salary of the industry is now, and the pressure of life is high now. I hope the leader can give you a salary increase.
Then show your attitude and say that you will work harder after the salary increase to create greater value for the company. This is easier for leaders to accept.
When talking about a salary increase, don't threaten the leadership. If you don't give me a salary increase, you will leave. Sometimes it will backfire. Sometimes, don't take yourself too seriously. You are nothing without the platform.
3. The timing of wage talks is very important
When talking about salary increase with leaders, you must choose the right time. If the time is wrong, your efforts will be wasted.
For example, leaders have been very busy recently, and they are very busy every day. Recently, the company's efficiency has been poor, or leaders have been in a bad mood recently. When you go to leaders to talk about salary increases, you will generally be disappointed.
Therefore, when you want to talk to the leader about a salary increase, you must choose the right time. First, the company has made good profits recently, and you have made some small achievements. When the leader is happy one day, in a private place, it is often easier to succeed.
In the workplace, you should always understand that your ability is your iron rice bowl. When you have strong ability in a certain field and the ability that others do not have, even if you do not give you a raise in this company, there will be many other companies willing to pay you a high salary. Do you agree?
