Time frame for negotiations on salary increases
How long will it take you to work your way up from the very bottom to at least middle management? So many. How long does it take you to get your first promotion? Three to six months is usually a realistic goal.
You may think that applying for a promotion after 3 months is somehow too early. It is quite possible, but it all depends more on your value.
If you are the best performer, the time you spend in the company will not matter as much as the work you do well.
First and foremost, your mindset is critical. If you're skeptical about your own worth, your boss will sense it. If you value yourself and your work, then your manager will begin to value it, which will give you a promotion.
I'll tell you how to choose goals that will really matter to your boss. These goals will be of strategic importance in your negotiations when it comes to promotions.
This is what your next 3-6 months will look like:
- 3 – 6 months before you ask for a raise: Become a top performer by completing priority tasks for your boss, and then exceed his expectations in every way possible.
- 1-2 months before the promotion: Prepare a “portfolio” with cases that confirm your value to the company.
- 1-2 weeks before promotion: Practice different tactics and dialogue scenarios that are aimed at your promotion.
Please note that all of this is done BEFORE the actual meeting.
3 – 6 months: Prepare your boss for your promotion
Your boss never be surprised that you ask for a raise. If your boss is surprised, it indicates that you did something wrong and your chances of success will drop significantly.
If you surprise your boss with such a statement, it's like you're backing him into a corner, and no one likes to be backed into a corner. In such a situation, the most natural reaction is defense.
To prevent this from happening, you need to prepare your boss for your promotion.
1-2 months: prepare a portfolio for negotiations
If you have to negotiate, this will be the most effective. This technique can be used in interviews, salary negotiations, and even in proposals to clients. It is very versatile.
First, create a document that outlines specific areas of the company where you can add value.
This document will serve as your rationale. When you negotiate a salary increase, management may have questions that require answers. You will be able to show this document and talk about exactly what company problems you can solve.
Manager: So what amount are we talking about?
You: Actually, before we start discussing this issue, I would like to show you something that I have collected.
And then you pull out your proposal documents, where we detail the company's pain points and exactly how you can help solve those problems. This is the power of the portfolio technique.

Promoting an employee: how to understand that he is ready to become a manager
In this article you will read
- How to understand which employee to promote to manager
- What qualities of employees are valued at BDO Unicon Outsourcing
- How to identify potential leaders
The Chinese manufacturer of smartphones and 3G modems Huawei, wanting to maintain flexibility and innovation, took an unconventional approach to the issue of promoting an employee. Since the fall of 2013, three top executives have taken turns leading the company, each for six months. Of course, it is difficult to find all the necessary qualities in one person, so using three at once is a breakthrough solution, and Russian companies can adopt it. But even in this case, the problem of choosing several leaders from a large number of candidates will not lose relevance.
I often ask my subordinates a conditional question: “Who’s going to the sand pit?”
Alexey Degtyarev, General Director of B2B-Center, Moscow
Several years ago we decided to open a branch in Minsk. The decision was made quickly, and none of the department heads said that it was impossible or too difficult. My employees did not ask unnecessary questions that would only delay the start of the project. We just got to work, and two months later the office was open. I’ll tell you about the qualities that, in my opinion, are necessary for candidates for leadership positions.
1. Willingness to change. A person must be able to defend his point of view, overcome the resistance of colleagues, management, competitors and achieve change for the better. Let me give you an example. Our Bryansk branch began with a telephone sales service. The deputy head of the economic department was assigned to organize it. The determining factors in the choice were people management skills and loyalty to the company’s values. For a month, the employee carefully prepared for the new role: she consulted with the commercial service on sales issues, and studied the operation of the electronic platform. As a result, a branch appeared, which today solves a number of important problems. The employee returned to Moscow and headed a new division. Her temporary absence from headquarters, in turn, allowed her subordinate to shine. At first, the economist who left for Bryansk supervised the work remotely, but then the need for this disappeared. So we raised another specialist who now works as deputy financial director.
2. The ability to make bold decisions in conditions of uncertainty and bear responsibility for them. When the head of the HR department went on maternity leave, the company was growing and we needed a lot of specialists. The chief accountant became the new HR director. He knew the employees very well, understood the company's economics well, and could calculate any actions in the HR field from the point of view of business development and increasing labor productivity. The chief accountant had shown interest in the HR field before: he proposed new solutions taken from the experience of other companies. And he was ready to radically change his field of activity. At first, he sat on two chairs: he spent 80% of his efforts on HR, the rest on accounting. Soon his deputies in the accounting department could handle the entire volume of work on their own. Training and mentors from friendly companies helped the employee master a new specialty.
Mentoring as an ideal method for adapting newcomers to a team
3. Striving to achieve ambitious goals. The advantages of opening a Belarusian office were obvious: Minsk is a city of over a million people, one of the centers of IT development, there is a high level of education, many universities, there is no language or customs barrier, and a reasonable level of salaries. But there were also problems: the jurisdiction of another state and, most importantly, higher tax rates. However, the heads of the accounting and legal departments found a solution that made it possible to tax the representative office in accordance with Russian legislation. This was mentioned in the international agreement between our countries, but there was no corresponding practice. We had to defend our right by corresponding with Russian and Belarusian ministries. The goal was ambitious, but our specialists did not give up. This decision became a legal precedent.
4. Initiative. One of our programmers at some point began preparing other candidates for promotion to pass exams based on the results of business training (its completion is mandatory for everyone who has subordinates). Nobody asked him to do this. He was the first to complete the training and decided to help his colleagues: engineers, accountants, economists. Now he is the head of a department that employs about 30 people. To bring out the right qualities in my subordinates, I give them challenging tasks that force them to step out of their comfort zone. I often half-jokingly ask: “Who’s going to the sand pit?” So, when moving the Bryansk office, it was necessary to make repairs in the new premises and, as a result, build interaction with the architect, find a contractor, and monitor his work. The branch director could not devote much time to this, and a young employee of the contact center volunteered to go “to the sand quarry.” After a successful move, we entrusted her with the implementation of a similar project in Minsk. After another six months, I was invited to the position of project manager in the development department. Today she is leading one of the key areas - the development of a CRM system.
Another example. After work we play football. One day in the fall it became clear that we did not have enough lighting. I went on vacation and only remembered this problem when I returned to my workplace. It turned out that our accountant had already agreed with the stadium administration to repair the lights through joint efforts. For little money the issue was resolved.
It is important that employees get along and understand their role in the business
Ekaterina Boytsova, HR Director, BDO Unicon Outsourcing, Moscow
Our company employs more than 300 specialists in the field of accounting and personnel records. There is a scale of seven grades and the criteria for compliance with each of them are strictly prescribed: 1–5 – specialist performers, 6–7 – managers. When there is a need to promote an employee to a position (grades 6–7), the assessment results obtained for assigning the fifth grade, as well as the performance indicators of specialists, fade into the background. The position of manager is given to those who have better developed communication and management competencies.
1. Participation in project work. Project management in our company is the first step towards a management position. When introducing technology or starting to serve a new client, you need to demonstrate the ability to listen and extract information, plan work (your own and that of your colleagues), predict risks, and give feedback. Project management skills are assessed by the manager and other specialists interacting with him.
Let me give you an example. Employees of the business development department search for customers, answer calls and letters, prepare commercial proposals, and after concluding a contract, they transfer the client to other departments that are involved in servicing him. One of the employees did not stop at the stage of concluding the contract and always maintained contact with the client for a long time, helping in solving emerging problems. Clients perceived this employee as their project manager. This was noticed by all participants in the process and heads of departments. Therefore, the employee was transferred to the project management department, and now he is already heading it, coordinating the largest and international projects.

2. Ability to get along with people. If an employee has up to 30 specialists under his command, then you need to be able to find an approach to everyone. If a person cannot establish communications with his closest colleagues, then no matter how highly qualified a specialist he is, he will not become a good leader. To assess this ability, we annually conduct a “360o” survey: we send out a questionnaire to all employees who interact with the person we are interested in, in which they can evaluate his communication skills and note his strengths and weaknesses. If we are talking about employees of the customer service department and the business development department, we ask clients to fill out their questionnaires as well. Reviews are stored along with complaints and thanks in the HR department.
3. The desire to be a mentor. It is customary in the company that a more experienced employee helps and trains a newcomer. Being a mentor is not an obligation, but an opportunity for everyone, and we also pay bonuses for teaching others. Mentor skills help you become a good manager. Let me give you an example. The HR specialist worked for several years in the HR services department. She used to be a teacher, so she enjoyed serving as a mentor. Even when employees were already working independently, they continued to turn to her for legal advice. As a result, the director of the department decided to create a new methodology department, making the popular mentor its head - there were so many questions for her.
4. Understanding your role in business processes. If an employee is not interested in the activities of other departments, does not ask questions, does not interact with people with whom contact is not implied by his direct responsibilities, then most likely he does not understand how the business as a whole works and is unlikely to become a leader. In our company, 70% of top managers and managers started in ordinary positions. For example, a commercial director - from the position of a secretary. She helped the accountant make entries, thereby demonstrating an interest in accounting work and a desire to help colleagues. Soon she moved to the sales department, and eventually headed it. Another example: the head of the company's largest production department began work as a courier.
How to identify the best employees
Arkady Khokhlov, Executive Director and co-founder of Fast and Shine, Moscow
Ideas for new business directions appear constantly, but there are not enough people who could lead them. Therefore, we begin the development of new projects only after identifying a suitable employee in the company. Future leaders are identified at interviews and meetings.
Interviews. The level of education is important to us. All employees of the management office have received or are receiving higher education, with 80% in the natural sciences or exact sciences. These are mostly graduates or students of prestigious universities. Such universities teach how to solve assigned problems.
A traditional question in our interviews is: what is the most difficult task the applicant has completed in the past. For example, one employee who is now responsible for business planning, while still in his second year at Moscow State University, created a local network. Through it, for a fee, he provided other students with video recordings of lectures and seminars (upon request, he went to the desired audience at the appointed time, put a video camera on the table and recorded the lecture, or hired students from other courses for this; then transmitted the recording over the created network). Six months ago, we opened our own taxi service, Banana Taxi (according to Yandex, today it is among the top ten among 600 services operating in Moscow in terms of the number of orders processed per day). This non-core business is run by that same student. Now he is a fourth-year student, but is already a full-fledged partner of our company (he has a share in the business).
How to conduct an interview: step-by-step algorithm
Meetings. Monthly meetings of all central office employees are an excellent tool for assessing the potential of subordinates. And that's why.
Each employee at the meeting agrees on certain tasks for the month or quarter. At the next meeting, you can see who completed their task and how.
Employees talk about their ideas, comment on the processes in which they are involved: what can be changed, how to increase efficiency. This way it becomes clear who is the initiator by nature and who is the executor.
Each employee of the management office must understand both his goals for the future and the company's strategy. The degree of this understanding is visible by how actively the manager is involved in the discussion of issues.
Example. The development strategy for mobile car washes initially implied the movement of specialists in branded cars. We assumed that the client would appreciate it if the washer arrived in a small, clean car with our logo. But at one of the meetings, an ordinary manager of the mobile car wash department put forward the idea that some specialists should still travel by public transport. This significantly optimizes the costs of the field service and will not greatly affect the client’s attitude towards the type of transport the washer arrived in, since for customers something else is more important: the time of arrival of the specialist and the quality of the work performed. As a result, the manager received a promotion to leading specialist and came to our attention.

The main mistake when asking for a salary increase or career advancement
The biggest mistake you can make when it comes to asking for a raise in pay or position is to simply show up at the next meeting and say that you need a raise.
If this is your plan, then you will definitely lose. I would even say that with a plan like this you deserve to lose.
I learned this lesson the hard way when I worked for a government agency and asked for a promotion. I worked there quite a lot, so I decided it was time for a change - after all, I'm a smart guy who worked a lot, so I definitely had to ask.
The conversation went something like this:
Hello Director, thank you for your attention. So, I've been working here for a year now and I think I've done a good job. I am well versed in all the intricacies of the job, so I would like to discuss opportunities for advancement.
- Now there is no way. Let's put this off until better times.
Fine.
It wasn't pretty. At that moment I was really angry with the manager for several days. He said “NO”, and then the load only increased.
Later I realized that I was being funny at that moment. I did not give the manager any reason why he should give me more responsibility or pay me more. So why did I then revive the promotion?
Since then, I've become a much better negotiator, and here's the #1 rule I discovered:
80% of the work in negotiations is done before you even enter the room.
This means that conversation is only a small part of what actually affects the end result. In fact, when you are trying to get a raise or promotion, it is your preparation that will determine your success or failure.
Would you rather spend 0 hours preparing and immediately fail in negotiations than spend 20 hours preparing and get a 70% chance of success and promotion.
Preliminary work before asking for a promotion
The best employees are always willing to put in the time and effort, so they can and should receive more rewards than others.
I call this polishing work.
Here are some methods you can try for yourself.
- Perform your best work for at least six months, receiving written praise from your management and colleagues.
- Create a short document that will prove your effectiveness. Write down everything that adds value to you in this document.
- Practice communicating with other experienced negotiators. If you are rehearsing a speech, try recording it on video so you can review it later and find mistakes.
- Learn to handle objections. Read about how to handle objections.
Once you've done all of this, you need to make sure that your boss knows that you plan to ask for a pay increase or promotion.
