1 Know your worth

Before you enter any negotiation or promotion discussion, you need to know how much you are worth in the market and in your organization. Research the salary range and benefits for your role, industry, and location, and compare them with your current compensation and performance. Identify your unique skills, achievements, and contributions that add value to your employer and justify your expectations. Be realistic, but also confident in your worth.

The very first step in knowing your worth is to know your current realities and future prospects. What is your current role and how is it changing post-promotion? if you are able to answer this question well, half the battle is won. A salary increase or promotion is justifiable only if there is a significant change in your responsibilities. The value added by your role in the team and organisation must positively change. You should also have the competence and plan to deliver higher responsibilities. Then comes the benchmarking of the new role. You should know the relative worth of the job internally and externally. The only caution in doing the benchmarking is to have very similar organisations in terms of scale and market and the role.

2 Prepare your case

Once you know your worth, you need to prepare your case for why you deserve a higher salary or a promotion. Gather evidence of your accomplishments, feedback, and impact, and quantify them as much as possible. Align your case with your employer's goals, needs, and challenges, and show how you can help them solve problems and create value. Practice your pitch and anticipate possible objections or questions.

As you have already analyzed how the role is changing, you are ready with the plan and required competencies to deliver. While you prepare your case evidence around your past performance and achievements gives confidence to your employer at the same time stakeholder feedback plays a critical role. Mentioning the instances wherein you achieved the objectives by aligning stakeholders makes your case even more powerful. The future plan and course of action post-promotion or the desired salary increase also need to be part of the pitch. Your practices should also include answers to probable objections and questions. Preempting these in line with the current internal and external business environment will give you an edge.

3 Choose the right time

Timing is crucial when it comes to negotiating your salary or asking for a promotion. You want to choose a moment when your employer is in a positive mood, receptive to your request, and able to make a decision. Some good times to initiate the conversation are during performance reviews, after completing a successful project, or when the company is growing or expanding. Avoid times when the company is facing financial difficulties, layoffs, or crises.

I don't agree that you should hold off asking for a salary increase if the company is not doing well or if the economy is bad. While those are important factors, The truth is, if you've picked up more work and more responsibility because of those things, you should be paid accordingly. Let's say the company laid off one of your coworkers. And that that person made $50,000 per year salary as do you. If you pick up most or all of that person's work, wouldn't you agree that you should get some sort of an increase? The answer is a resounding yes! Don't be afraid to ask for an increase in salary when it's warranted no matter what the situation is.

4 Communicate effectively

Communication is the key to a successful negotiation or promotion. You want to communicate your case clearly, confidently, and respectfully, and listen to your employer's perspective and concerns. Use positive and assertive language, avoid ultimatums or threats, and emphasize the mutual benefits of your proposal. Be prepared to negotiate and compromise, but also know your bottom line and walk away point. Express your appreciation and gratitude for the opportunity and the relationship.

5 Manage your emotions

Negotiating your salary or asking for a promotion can trigger a lot of emotions, such as fear, anxiety, anger, or frustration. However, you need to manage your emotions and stay calm and professional throughout the process. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment, affect your communication, or damage your relationship with your employer. Use coping strategies, such as breathing exercises, positive affirmations, or visualization, to reduce stress and boost your confidence.

6 Follow up and celebrate

After the negotiation or promotion discussion, you need to follow up and confirm the outcome in writing. Thank your employer for their time and consideration, and restate the agreed terms and conditions. If you didn't get what you wanted, ask for feedback and suggestions on how to improve your chances in the future. If you did get what you wanted, celebrate your achievement and reward yourself for your hard work and courage.
