Smartest Way to Request Promotion?

Dear Experts,

I’ve been working at the same business for three years now with no promotions under my belt. I feel this is my time and I’m worthy of a position upgrade and higher salary. I’ve paid my dues.

Now, what’s the smartest way to tell all that to my superior?

Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:

Q#227 Promotions are earned, not requested. Wow them with your abilities and commitment and your time will come. (@gradversity)

Q#227 Avoid thinking time 4 promo cause u’ve been there so long. Show how u have helped company increase profits nstead. (@kgrantcareers)

Q#227 Meet w/boss & ask what specific steps needed to earn promotion. ie. quantifiable goals you can meet/prove. (@jtodonnell)
