I have been working in a Software House of my friend for the past 3 years and still working there.



Everything is fine and job is also amazing but there is one problem, I have worked there for 3 years on the same salary. Its a private company and managed completely by my friend. I am getting like 400$ per month. But I want an increase in my salary.



Is it okay to ask for a rise in my salary?

Here's the language you need:




"Steve, $400 a month is not enough nowadays. Starting on the 1st, I'm thinking $1200 a month. Can you give me your thoughts? What sort of figure would work for you?




I'll completely explain the communications secrets here:



There are three things you need to know, and indeed three things to say:




"Steve, $400 a month is not enough nowadays.





  1. Notice it is a statement with no reasons given. Never, ever, give reasons. Make statements.



Starting on the 1st, I'm thinking $1200 a month.





  1. When you state how much you want, always - always - include a specific date, refer to the specific cheque or transfer.



Can you give me your thoughts? What sort of figure would work for you?





  1. Always finish with a question. This is a magic trick of negotiations and discussions.


"How should I ask for an increment in my salary?" You now have the answer! Good luck!
