When should I ask? What should I say?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people deserve a raise, but few people actually ask for one. Data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.payscale.com\/salary-negotiation-guide\/whats-holding-you-back-people-who-ask-for-raises-earn-more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">PayScale<\/a> reveals that only around 43 percent of American workers have ever requested a raise. That said, higher-income workers are more likely to ask for a raise than lower-income workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your situation, you shouldn\u2019t be afraid to ask for compensation that matches your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a step-by-step guide on how to ask for a raise at work, look no further. Follow these six simple steps, and you\u2019ll be on your way: evaluate yourself, collect feedback from others, think about your growth opportunities, find the right moment, do your research and present your pitch confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-evaluate-your-performance\">1. Evaluate your performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before asking for a raise, you\u2019ll need to take a look at your performance since your last pay increase or since you started at your current job. The basis of your pay increase is the value you add to your employer, so taking the time to measure your contributions to the company is a crucial first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-600x340.png\" alt=\"What employers look for in your performance: efficiency, volume, revenue\" class=\"wp-image-360327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-600x340.png 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-1536x869.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-2048x1159.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-450x255.png 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-900x509.png 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-1400x792.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/what-employers-look-for-in-your-performance-2000x1132.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your employer isn\u2019t paying close attention to data, you should be. Almost every job can be broken down into hard numbers, or quantitative data, and knowing how you\u2019re doing is the only way to set measurable goals for your growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019re asking for a raise, you\u2019ll want to consider what is important to your manager. After all, your manager has their performance evaluated as well\u2014try to frame success in terms that your boss\u2019s boss will care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider some of the following types of data to analyze your own performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Efficiency: <\/strong>Have you or your team been able to complete tasks more efficiently due to your efforts? That saves the company time and creates value.<\/li><li><strong>Volume: <\/strong>Have you added more clients? Are you handling more business? Is your team of direct reports growing? Has your project expanded? Any of these changes could be signs that your performance is directly helping the company.<\/li><li><strong>Revenue: <\/strong>Can you directly tie your efforts to a growth in sales or revenue? Has a deliverable you contributed to been successful? Are your customers renewing contracts or reordering products?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your job may have different kinds of data, but whatever you track should have the same end goal: demonstrate that your work adds value to the company. If you\u2019ve contributed to your company\u2019s growth, they\u2019ll want to keep you around\u2014even if it means giving you a raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hector Gutierrez, CEO of JOI, echoes this sentiment: \u201cBring evidence to advocate for yourself. Oftentimes, managers and CEOs simply do not see everything that happens in their business. You want to show that you\u2019re taking initiative to not only manage a myriad of projects, but that you\u2019re responsible enough to keep track of all of your accomplishments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Collect feedback from others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to quantitative data, you\u2019ll also want to collect feedback from those you work with. Your manager\u2019s opinion of you is shaped by not only their own perception but also the formal and informal feedback that you receive nearly every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to collect the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Formal performance review records: <\/strong>Data suggesting positive performance from one quarter to the next demonstrates consistency and growth.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Coworker feedback: <\/strong>Work is increasingly collaborative, so informal feedback from others provides evidence of successful teamwork.<\/li><li><strong>Client and customer comments: <\/strong>When the clients and customers you directly or indirectly support are satisfied, their comments will point to the strength of your performance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your own perspective is important in shaping the conversation around your raise, but strong comments from other members of your team and customer base are very helpful in strengthening your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Think about your growth opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to think about ways to grow within your current role and the company in general. While your past performance is helpful in justifying a raise, your employer will also want to feel confident that your increased salary will be met with improvements on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find ways to frame your career goals in ways that will benefit the company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>State your goals: <\/strong>What do you plan to change or achieve in the next few months or quarters? How will these changes benefit the company?<\/li><li><strong>Redefine your role: <\/strong>How will your role grow to meet the future needs of your employer? What new responsibilities will you take on?<\/li><li><strong>Explore the long term: <\/strong>What long-term difference can you make in the growth of your company? How will you contribute to key changes?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can show that you\u2019ve benefited the company and you have plans to continue to build on that success, you\u2019re in a great position to ask for a raise. On the other hand, if you don\u2019t really see yourself as part of the future of your current employer, you could consider taking your skills and experience to a different job instead, since that also carries the possibility of a pay raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Find the right moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there will never be a perfect time to ask for a raise, there are definitely moments that are better or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-600x242.png\" alt=\"When asking for a raise, generally aim for six months to one year after your previous pay increase or starting your role.\" class=\"wp-image-360328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-600x242.png 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-768x310.png 768w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-1536x619.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-2048x826.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-450x181.png 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-900x363.png 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-1400x564.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/asking-for-a-raise-stats-2000x806.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what, make sure you set a meeting for your request\u2014a spontaneous conversation is almost never the right approach when asking for a raise. During an unplanned conversation, you likely won\u2019t have the opportunity to present your evidence fully, and your boss may be blindsided. Instead of bringing up your request in an unrelated meeting, set up a meeting specifically for this discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things to keep in mind when you\u2019re finding the right moment to ask for a raise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It\u2019s generally best to wait <strong>six months to a year or more<\/strong> after your last raise to ask for another one. That said, if your roles or responsibilities change significantly before that time frame, it may be fine to ask sooner.<\/li><li>If you already have an <strong>upcoming performance review on your calendar<\/strong>, there\u2019s no need to set another meeting. Instead, speak with your manager and ask that a discussion about your compensation is included as part of the meeting.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll want to be sure to <strong>avoid asking for a raise during periods of financial downturn, layoffs or hiring freezes<\/strong>. Even if you feel you deserve a raise, asking for one at a tough time could send the wrong message to your employer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you plan to discuss your raise in a private setting. Avoid common areas or meetings that involve other people who aren\u2019t involved in determining your compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, you\u2019ll want to have a face-to-face meeting when asking for a raise. As tempting as it may be to present your evidence through email, you\u2019ll likely have better success by taking the time for an actual meeting, even if it feels overwhelming. Having the courage to confidently present your strengths as an employee will serve you in both getting fair compensation and performing your day-to-day role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Do your research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gathered evidence justifying your raise and have set a meeting up, there\u2019s still an important question: how much should you ask for? Setting a monetary value for your efforts can be difficult, especially if you factor in negotiations that may follow. But you do need to come to your meeting prepared with a number in mind, since your employer is not likely going to present a new salary to you without hearing a specific proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about a specific dollar amount, you\u2019ll need to watch out for the two pitfalls of a raise. If you ask for too much, your boss could perceive you as selfish or arrogant. On the other hand, if you don\u2019t ask for enough, your employer may be more than happy to continue underpaying you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you figure out how much to ask for? Try using some of the following strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Look at online tools: <\/strong>While online tools are imperfect, they can help give you a benchmark for how much others in your position and field are making. Rough figures can give you a sense of how well your current compensation compares with those of others who have similar roles.<\/li><li><strong>Explore your company\u2019s pay ranges: <\/strong>Many companies provide pay ranges for specific positions. If you\u2019ve been significantly successful and have compensation on the lower end of your position\u2019s range, you have a good target to shoot for.<\/li><li><strong>Ask others about compensation: <\/strong>Depending on your relationships with your coworkers, you could ask them their compensation in order to get a point of reference for your own. But if you\u2019re not comfortable doing that, you can also try to get information indirectly. Ask other people you know in your field the following question: \u201cHow much do you think a [your current role] would make at your company?\u201d A trend may emerge and give you clues about what kind of raise to ask for.<\/li><li><strong>Consider the cost of living: <\/strong>Although you should never give the cost of living as a reason why you deserve a raise, you can use the cost of living to determine an appropriate pay rate. Comparing compensation between high- and low-cost areas can give you a skewed impression, so consider your area specifically when asking for a raise.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional wisdom says that asking for up to ten percent of your current compensation is a good benchmark for a raise, but this rule isn\u2019t ironclad. Depending on your recent growth and your starting pay rate, it may be necessary to ask for more than ten percent in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As startup founder Lisa Odenweller says, \u201cThe biggest thing is to be willing to ask for what you want. If you know your worth, learn how to advocate and negotiate for what you deserve. We want to have a core team that\u2019s in it for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve done your research, go into your meeting with confidence in the amount you\u2019re requesting. You may not get you the exact figure you want, but not asking at all is a surefire way to keep your current pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Present your pitch with the R.A.I.S.E. method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got data about your performance, a meeting with your manager and a desired raise in mind. Now there\u2019s just one question left: what should you say? Since this is an important meeting, you don\u2019t want to leave your presentation up to chance. Instead, take some time to work on your proposal and make sure you don\u2019t leave any details out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"311\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-311x400.png\" alt=\"How to use the R.A.I.S.E method to ask for a pay increase\" class=\"wp-image-360329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-311x400.png 311w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-768x988.png 768w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-1194x1536.png 1194w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-1592x2048.png 1592w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-450x579.png 450w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-600x772.png 600w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-900x1158.png 900w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-1400x1801.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/raise-method-pay-increase-2000x2573.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to prepare for success as you ask for higher compensation is to use the R.A.I.S.E. method: rehearse your presentation, acknowledge your successes, impress with data, set expectations for the future and express your request clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at each of these aspects in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Rehearse your pitch: <\/strong>To feel confident going into your meeting, you\u2019ll need to practice. Try recording yourself or giving your presentation to a close friend or family member. Being familiar with your talking points and practicing presenting a clear and cohesive message will increase your chances of success.<\/li><li><strong>Acknowledge your successes: <\/strong>Too often when asking for a raise, we veer away from the core message. Take a moment in the first part of your pitch to specifically cite details about what you\u2019ve done well since your last pay increase.<\/li><li><strong>Impress with data: <\/strong>Make sure to steer the conversation toward numbers, preferably with a presentation or folder with data for your manager to review. Emphasize your role in producing growth, again making sure to use specific accomplishments that had a direct effect on your company.<\/li><li><strong>Set expectations for the future: <\/strong>End your presentation with an eye toward future growth, listing your goals and ambitions for continuing to support the company\u2019s long-term success as well as your own.<\/li><li><strong>Express your request clearly: <\/strong>After taking that opportunity to summarize your accomplishments, make sure that you present the specific figure you\u2019re requesting, restating that you feel the value you bring to the company justifies the pay increase.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By using the R.A.I.S.E. method, you\u2019ll put yourself in a great position to make your case for a pay increase. Although many people are hesitant to rehearse their presentation, this is one of the most crucial steps of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Logan Mallory, VP at Motivosity, \u201cThe more you practice, the more confident you\u2019ll feel having the conversation with your manager.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your meeting ends, make sure to take a moment to thank your manager for their support and for taking the time to meet with you. In most cases, your manager won\u2019t immediately respond to your request\u2014they likely need to consult with other leadership before authorizing a raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive your raise: congratulations! Asking for a raise is one of the most difficult things an employee can do, so you should be proud of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your raise is denied, know that you likely haven\u2019t done anything wrong. Pay increases can be denied for many reasons that are outside of your control and have nothing to do with your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should, however, take a moment to politely ask your manager what\u2019s holding you back from increased compensation. Frame that conversation around goals and growth rather than hurt feelings and disappointment. Let your manager know that you\u2019re committed to the company and ask for specific measures of success that would make you a strong candidate for a raise in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what, keep crushing it. Even the fact that you\u2019re looking for a raise is a sign of ambition that points to your future success. Look for ways to continue to learn and grow in your current role, or make the jump to a new opportunity. When the time comes to try for another raise, don\u2019t forget to evaluate your performance, find the right moment, do your research and craft a great pitch. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/fix-my-credit\">CreditRepair.com<\/a> is rooting for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creditrepair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Leikeisha-Finai-Jones_75x75.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360013 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Reviewed by Leikeisha Finai-Jones, Credit Consultant at CreditRepair.com. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Leikeisha&nbsp;Finai-Jones joined CreditRepair.com back in 2020 as a social community coordinator.
