Questa è la seconda di due parti Business English Pod series on how to ask for a pay raise.
Asking for a pay raise is a two-step process. Before any discussion of compensation begins, it’s important to state your case and demonstrate why you deserve a raise. Let your boss know of your achievements and your value to the company.
The second part involves negotiating. This is the time to start talking about specific numbers and benefits, but it must be handled diplomatically. You’ll need to outline what you want, acknowledge the other party’s concerns and bargain for the best deal.
Nell'ultimo episodio, we listened to Ryan, un venditore presso un'azienda di forniture industriali chiamata Pylon, present his case to his boss, Jacob.
