An obligatory question that will come up during this conversation with your boss is how much money you would like to earn. This question is always a bit awkward, and you don't know if the amount you are asking for is too much or too little, and you end up harming yourself. However, so that this aspect doesn't catch you off guard, you can do a little research with your colleagues who have a similar position.
Also, be sure to find out what kind of tasks you'll be doing and what your viber database responsibilities might be. These factors will help you put a clearer figure on the table (or desk).
7. I asked for feedback
If you're already having this conversation with your boss, ask him or her to share what he or she thinks of your work so far. You might find details you hadn't noticed before. If everything goes better than you expected, he or she might realize your value before you even tell him or her. Plus, asking for feedback from your boss will let him or her know that you're willing to listen and find new ways to grow. Don't make the whole conversation about yourself, listen to what he or she has to say, too. Remember: this is a conversation, not a lecture.
Just as there are good practices for asking for a promotion at work, there are also mistakes that can put you in an uncomfortable or harmful situation. Keep in mind this basic list that we made with some common mistakes and avoid them at all costs so that your boss does not have a bad image of you.
Arrive 100% confident that you deserve a promotion.
Arriving with a confident attitude or, worse yet, arrogance that you deserve a promotion, will only make the conversation with your boss end faster than you thought. You must be sure of yourself, but without losing your feet on the ground.
Keep an open mind.
One thing you should keep in mind: you are not the only employee in the company. Your boss has many other people under his or her charge, who are just as valuable as you. If your boss does not agree that it is time for you to be promoted, listen to his or her reasons and think of it as a challenge to improve.
Don't get upset if things don't go your way.
Maybe your speech was impressive and the chemistry in the conversation was amazing. But if your boss feels he can't give you a promotion yet, don't make the terrible mistake of getting upset and showing it. This attitude can lead you not only to not being considered in future opportunities, but even to losing your job if you lose your temper a little. Take a breath and keep overcoming challenges.
