DON’T BE SCARED: if you don’t ask, you don’t get.
DO IT PROPERLY: book an official meeting with your boss.
DO YOUR RESEARCH: check the going rate for similar roles and assess what you’re worth.
TIME IT RIGHT: don’t choose a time when your boss is very busy or stressed.
ARE YOU WORTH IT? check that your performance/input has increased.

CHOOSE A FIGURE: think about what you’d really like and ask for a bit more.
AVOID ULTIMATUMS: don’t threaten to leave (unless you’re serious) - they may just say okay.
