In this technique, we will cover the art of negotiating a raise. It is an essential skill for any financial kung fu practitioner.
First, you must know your worth. Research your market value and prepare to make your case. Be prepared to discuss your accomplishments and the value you bring to your organization.
Next, choose your timing wisely. Avoid asking for a raise during times of economic downturn, as this may be seen as insensitive.
Finally, be prepared to make concessions. Be willing to listen to your employer's concerns and find a mutually beneficial solution.
Remember, negotiating a raise is a delicate art. Be prepared to walk the tightrope between confidence and humility.
