Thinking about asking for a salary raise and not sure where to start\/ too daunting?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the areas we get asked about most and how to get started. Believe it or not the fear of rejection and how this will impact us (if declined) is often more scary than the prospect of positioning this with your direct manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you perhaps have not considered is that the raised heart rate, sweaty palms and shallow breathing you are now experiencing (whilst considering how to tackle this, will very likely be simultaneously experienced by your Manager, when they are faced with your request (regardless of experience).<\/span><\/p>\n

What to avoid at all costs?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Taking your Manager off guard<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Demanding a pay increase, with an ultimatum\/ threat of moving to a competitor<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Going direct to your Manager\u2019s one up, thinking this is where the decision will be made and undermining them in this process<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Asking for an increase based on your personal circumstances<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Not providing your request with factual evidence for consideration <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Avoid \u201cfluffiness\u201d and subjectivity<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Making this an emotive or subjective discussion<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Failure to follow up in writing, with objective facts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
