How to ask for and get a pay rise

It happens that the request for increase becomes quite frightening prospect. If we add to this the fact that often deserve a promotion, those who just do not know how to apply themselves, it becomes clear that learning to present themselves is necessary.

The more precisely you know its strengths and achievements, the greater the chances for promotion.

• Increase your value
  If you still do not do more than what you were hired - start. Take on responsibilities which possible. Learn and outside of work: attending courses, read and attend seminars and training sessions. Make yourself too valuable to lose you.
  Your value to the company is made up of how you're doing three things: solve problems, increase income and create and develop a relationship. Make sure that everything you do at work is related to one of the items above.
• Demonstrate your value.
  Increasing, especially large - is an important business decision, treat it that way. Start planning your steps for increasing by half a year now.

  If you can name all the moments of your successes when you saved the company money, great customer lead or choose an internal problem and made the company better, it will become clear why you really should pay more. Head unlikely to impress fearlessness as such, but a clear demonstration that you are important for the company implies a positive result.

• Ask increase last!
  The best time to ask for an increase - this certification. If the company is not carried out formal appraisals, ask your supervisor for a meeting to discuss the results of your work. Grab a recording of the meeting about your achievements, show them and tell about the successes and in the wake of "Yes", ask for an increase.

  Another method to achieve increase can be considered selling yourself to someone of the colleagues of the same rank with your boss. Try to sell the idea to improve it, and then let him sell it to your boss.

  Do not try to build a trap or blackmail care, even if you do have any suggestions. Instead show that you are doing, how well it is doing, and allow himself the chief conclusions. Blackmail firing can permanently damage your relationship with the company and certainly not work in the long run.

To get more out of your cooperation, the company also needs to see that she gets paid for her money. If you are able to confirm the well-deserved salary, any employer would be happy to work with you.
