How to subtly remind the boss that it's time for a raise?

If you want to talk to your boss about a salary increase, you must first master these seven tips: master the right to speak, show more work results, express loyalty, detour tactics, come straight to the point, ask for a salary increase and apply for a promotion.

1. Before making a request, you must know what the salary of the same position in the industry is, so as not to overestimate your salary increase. This move is also to master the right to speak when negotiating with the boss.

2. Show more work results. Don't think that you only need to show your importance in the department at the end of the year, which will easily give the boss a feeling of being intimidated and demanding rewards. On weekdays, when the work has achieved initial results, you should always "remind" the boss of his own importance.

3. Express loyalty when negotiating. The purpose is to raise salary, not to leave, so whether the negotiation is successful or not, you should implicitly express your loyalty to the enterprise, and don't threaten your boss with resignation unless you really find a new home.

If you don't have the courage to negotiate directly with your boss, you might as well adopt circuitous tactics. For example, cleverly put the news that headhunting companies offer double pay into the boss's ear.

5. Cut to the chase, avoid beating around the bush and clearly express your wishes. Now that you have decided to bring it up, don't hesitate to express your thoughts in the most direct and clear way.

6. When asking for a salary increase, it is best not to wait until the end of the year, because at that time, the boss has basically distributed the salary increase to each subordinate according to the budget allocated by the superior.

7. If you feel hopeless about raising your salary, it is also a curve to apply for a promotion to save the country. Of course, this is based on the understanding that work ability, attitude and results meet the boss's expectations. Generally speaking, promotion means new responsibilities, and there is a greater chance of a raise.

Conclusion: Some people will threaten to find a better job and force the company to give them a raise. "I will stay if the company raises wages, and I will resign if I don't raise wages." This attitude is definitely wrong. Salary increase cannot be threatened by resignation, and resignation cannot be aimed at salary increase.

According to the analysis data, 72% of professionals seeking high salary is one of the main reasons leading to job-hopping. Job-hopping is a means of raising salary, but it can't be used often.
