Over the last few months, we’ve seen companies begin to give raises again. So if you’ve been waiting for a few years for that bump in your paycheck, now is a good time to ask.
And since asking for a raise is never easy, I thought I suggest a service I recently came across called GetRaisedcom. When asking for a raise you must go in with well-researched details in order to present your argument. That means really answering questions like “what do you really do,” “what are your qualifications,” “what are other people in your position making,” etc.
GetRaised.com presents those questions and many others to help you create a “custom written raise request.” The service is just $20—and it guarantees results in six months or your money back. How awesome is that?
Not only do they help with a written letter (which research shows, employers are more like to offer a follow up meeting after receiving a well written letter), but they offer tips for your negotiation meeting.
So instead of knocking on your boss’ door frustrated and defeated saying, “I deserve more,” try a more quantitative approach.
