Be prepared and keep a level head

[Joyzfsddt66]

Do your research. Find out what positions exist laterally in your company. Research what people in this position get paid, both in your company and elsewhere, and be prepared with these figures.

Identify the role you want, find out what the requirements are and give relevant examples of why you’re right for this specific job.

When you consider seeking a promotion, start compiling a list that details your ghana whatsapp phone number accomplishments and achievements for the company over the past year similar to a CV format. Wherever possible include figures and data to back these achievements up. This could be anything from figures on a sale you completed and how much you earned for the company, to new skills you have gained and how you would use them in your new role.

You must prepare your presentation and ideally go over it with someone else several times. You have to be confident and secure in knowing what you’re asking for, and pre-empt any challenges that might come up and have responses to these.

Remember, you should wait until you are actually offered the promotion before you discuss a raise. One thing at a time!



Use focused and strong language
Here are some examples of things you might want to say and do when negotiating for a promotion:

“I see our company is restructuring in some areas, creating two new divisions out of the old Sales & Marketing unit. I’d like to talk to you about how I think I can help with making this transition as smooth as possible while exploring a new leadership role.”

“I have a unique skill set that I think would be perfect for the role of Sales Manager. In my role as Sales Assistant, I learned how to work under pressure, deal with a range of customer needs and collaborate with a growing team. I think these skills would transfer well to becoming a successful Sales Manager”
