Hello everyone, I am Xin Yuan, the previous content clarified how much you are worth to the company, when you calculate your own value, you will know whether you are worth a salary increase, so how to propose a salary increase at the most appropriate time is the content of this issue.
01 Use percentages instead of specific salary increases
It's a trick to downplay money, because percentages are abstract and your existing salary base is already high, and percentages will seem more acceptable than specific amounts.
Imagine that your current salary is 10,000 yuan per month, for example, you need a salary increase of 1,000 yuan, when you propose a salary increase of 1,000 yuan, your boss will be able to imagine what the 1,000 yuan can do, that is, concretize the 1,000 yuan, and conversely you are talking about a 10% salary increase, your boss will not immediately imagine what the specific number is, because you are expressing it with a more abstract concept.
Of course, when you decide to propose a salary increase, you must first prepare your own salary increase materials, and what content you need to prepare should be viewed in the previous articles, and the comment area will release links to previous articles.
Of course, in most cases, many bosses will not agree to your salary increase request so easily, they will reject you on the grounds that the company's performance is not satisfactory, revenue decline, budget is not enough, etc., and you need to decide whether to believe these statements, whether you are willing to continue to stay in the current environment.
If you're so sure you're worth a raise and you're sure it's going to be successful, it's time to offer a raise at the most opportune time.
The 2002 annual performance appraisal period is a good time point
The annual performance appraisal period is generally also a reference for the boss to check the value of the company's employees' contribution to the company.
If you can come up with a survey of your market value and specific contributions to the company, the more likely you are to be given a raise.
After all, when the boss gets the annual summary of the company's accounting for the year, he also needs to start planning the next year's plan, as long as the company's performance is good, and you have a positive value to the company, the more likely you are to be raised, and if the company's performance is not ideal, and your value to the company is not large, then the salary increase will become very difficult.
Unless you are an irreplaceable talent in the company, please do not propose a raise, because every time you propose a raise is precious, the more you are rejected, the more you will deny your value, resulting in no further mention.
03 It is also a good time point when personnel changes are integrated
When the content of your work changes dramatically, or your job responsibilities are getting bigger and bigger, the last thing companies want to see is that there are employees leaving at this time, which means that the company needs to find someone to replace you immediately.
In particular, having the same experience and level, and having to immediately integrate into your current work responsibilities, these all come at a very high price.
Or when the project or project you follow up is very successful and has also brought great benefits to the company, these points in time to make a salary increase are very reasonable requests and reasonable timing.
Please make the most of your success, these features help you make it easier to get a raise.
Once you've planned your request for a raise and you've prepared the materials for the raise, you'll need to choose a suitable time.
Monday to Wednesday please do not ask your boss for a raise, because this is the most stressful week, the busiest work nerves of the three days, especially on Mondays, I believe no one will like Monday morning.
The most appropriate time is Friday morning, the boss is the same as you, and psychological research also shows that people are relatively relaxed on Fridays, after all, it is almost the weekend.
Finally, be sure to observe your boss's mood, no one has successfully negotiated a salary increase under the boss's angry or tense mood.
The next issue discusses in detail how you can properly ask about a pay raise.
