I generally agree with your article, but I also agree with the first commenter who states that neither need nor want are reasons for a pay increase. Deserving and being able to show it is the way to achieve success. Best regards. TDG Excellent article.

If you get to an impasse, negotiate that you will revisit the issue in some period of time. Additionally get a list of what should be accomplished to in that time frame to merit a higher pay. Often there is a range in a salary and the company wants to keep costs as low as possible but will pay for a higher level of productivity. If you are that person but they are not convinced then agree on what a top performer would look like an then list the things that need to be accomplished by the next review and have it part of the agreement you sign.

Do you just WANT more, or do you NEED more? Neither reason matters to most emplyers. What really matters is , Do you DESERVE more? Have you proved you are worth more to the company now than you were a year ago, even a few months ago (through deed, action, training, skills improvement, whatever you want to call it). Unless you can SHOW that you should get more because you are worth more, then you are just another whiner who thinks they don't get paid enough. Go out and DO SOMETHING to make yourself get noticed! Remember, those who get ahead don't stand at the back of the line. You want a pay increase? Do you just WANT more, or do you NEED more? Neither reason matters to most emplyers.
