5 Sure-Fire Ways to Ask for a Raise
How many times do you think “I deserve a raise?” This may be true, but does your boss know? Does your boss know exactly what you do, what you’ve accomplished, and what role you have played in the success of the team or business? Probably not. They are juggling so many plates that your contributions have gone unnoticed, or under-appreciated, so you need to bring them to light.
In this episode I give you five top tips to help you ask for the raise, including:
1. Make sure the company is in good financial shape.
2. Don’t ask every month – pick your moment!
3. Know what your work is worth.
4. Understand the company’s protocols around raises.
