• Choose right time to negotiate. If your company schedules regular salary reviews, be well prepared for your turn. If it doesn't, take initiative and request a review. Ask for an early Monday appointment, when your boss's desk is clear.

• Convince your boss you're a winner by speaking clearly, listening carefully and responding calmly. Rehearse your main points with a friend, and run through responses to what you guess might be objections to a raise.

• If a raise is denied, ask why. If boss believes that you haven't performed well enough, ask what you must do to merit a raise, set shared goals and a time frame for renegotiation. If company is under financial restraint, ask for bonuses your boss may give more readily, such as expanded benefits or extra vacation time.
