Many a times people yearn to have a good salary and this only happens if you are good at negotiating for a pay increase. The question that you should ask yourselves before requesting for an increment though is “How can I make my wage/salary to be increased?”
To begin with, you should learn the art of negotiation. Learn to negotiate with your employer such that at the end, you are on the winning side. You should be determined in requesting for your pay rise and fight for it such that at long last there is a positive deviation from what you were getting initially. Always have the attitude of a winner and don’t let your boss to win over you easily. That said, you have to show proof that you are worth the pay rise.
Secondly, be realistic. Before you request for an increased payment, you should reflect on your area of jurisdiction and check out if you have any positive impact to the firm /institution that requires a pay rise. You should only ask for an increased payment if you know that you do an overstretched work that is beneficial. Have you proven that you have the drive and the will to bend over backwards for your job? Have you taken on assignments and done much more than your boss expected you to do?
You should therefore, ask for a pay rise that is achievable and worth the kind of work you do. Do not exaggerate the value that is more than your output to the institution.
Moreover, you are obliged to know your worth. You should be paid according to the work rate or according to your positive influence to the firm. One should not expect a high payment if he/she does a little work to benefit the institution. Likewise if you do a commendable job then beware of a good return. Do not be underpaid or overpaid. Just know the correct value worth your efforts.
Lastly, have a backup plan. Have an outline/plan that is evident that the pay rise you want may at long last be attributed to some good work. This will make your boss to have more faith in you as it is evidence that you have elaborate plans for that particular place of work.
