Here are some tips for asking for a promotion respectfully:

• Research

  Research the position you’re interested in, as well as other available positions within the company. You can ask someone who already has the role about their responsibilities and skills, and use online resources to identify common duties.
• Pick the right time

  Avoid interrupting your manager or catching them off guard by scheduling a meeting during a regular performance review or one-on-one meeting.
• Be professional

  Be polite and courteous, and express your appreciation for the opportunity and feedback you’ve received.
• Prepare

  Prepare your pitch and come to the meeting confident.
• Articulate your value

  Explain how your skills, achievements, and contributions have helped the company, and emphasize how a promotion would allow you to contribute even more.
• Set goals

  Include timeframes and targets for key accomplishments in your promotion plan.
• Ask for feedback

  Show that you’re proactive by asking your manager what they’re looking for in a promotion candidate, and how you can improve your current performance.
