"If you want to get a promotion, you must let the management know and tell them your goals and expertise directly."
After working in a financial company for two years, Lisa learned that she would take over as the customer service manager. However, she didn't get the most profitable job in this position-designing training and teaching materials for new customers. The work is in the charge of her new boss.
But the new boss didn't have time to design it himself, so Lisa volunteered. She said to her new boss, "I'm creative and have experience in design and writing. You'll see." In less than three months, she finished the work and the materials she designed were very popular. Soon after, Lisa was promoted to vice president of the department.
2. Take precautions to solve problems.
Talking about goals can get your attention, but you still need to prove yourself. Because many capable employees have been wandering in the same position for many years, it is not enough to do the existing work well. You should concentrate on your next job.
Five years ago, Hui Ping was the personnel manager of the company. As soon as she took office, she encountered a thorny problem: because the company's managers just moved to a new office a few kilometers away, the employees who stayed in the warehouse felt neglected and their emotions fluctuated greatly. Huiping left, and her heart was more divided. She moved the office to the warehouse. Later, she trained warehouse administrators to do troubleshooting and deal with various problems that employees care about. Because she handled it very appropriately, she was promoted quickly.
Hui Ping was forced to shoulder the burden of the boss, but you can't wait for the crisis to prove your courage. A career counselor suggested that you'd better try to prove yourself qualified for another job.
When you take on more responsibilities, you should always write down your achievements, such as saving time and money for the company or making new products come out. This performance document can help you get promoted in two ways: first, you can use it to rewrite your work report, including new responsibilities; Second, you can use it to rewrite your resume.
3. Put forward constructive suggestions.
People who used to obey their superiors tend to be promoted step by step, but now management attaches more importance to employees who dare to express different views. The opinions of these people can often help companies avoid heavy losses or get into trouble.
After the new account manager Li Jun took office, he attended the company's high-level meeting the next day to discuss a car primer launched by the company. "Our paint has always been yellow." He said at the meeting, "but from talking with customers, we know that they prefer light gray."
Although he just entered the management, Li Jun calmly explained why turning the color of primer into gray can increase sales. Today, light gray primer is one of the best-selling products of the company. Li Jun boldly put forward his own opinions, but he is also quite shrewd and tactful, and only talks about customers' needs cautiously.
Experts believe that Li Jun's strategy is impeccable and worth emulating. In other words, don't directly oppose other people's views, but should put forward constructive opinions. Don't say "your method doesn't work", say "if it works, the effect may be better."
4. Go all out to help your boss.
A Qiang works as a junior clerk in a real estate company in Taicang. His job is to study maps and call customers who may be interested in renting office buildings built by our company. The boss said he wanted to call him, and he readily agreed. A Qiang knows the real estate situation in Taicang like the back of his hand, and his boss knows the needs of various tenants like the back of his hand. The two soon teamed up to persuade tenants to rent the commercial building they promoted. Over the years, they have been helping each other and working closely together. Later, as a senior management consultant of Shangsi Reform Bank, he introduced A Qiang to another large real estate company in the city. "The most important thing is that he trusts me." A Qiang explained, "Once he wants to find someone to negotiate a big business and knows that he will send me, he will be relieved."
5. Strive to create your own job opportunities.
Even if there is no suitable job at the moment, you can still create a promotion position for yourself. Saxton of Belle, a famous communication organization? When Howie took office, a senior manager had to analyze many branches of the company and draw up a plan to coordinate their work. Saxton focused on Irwil Ding Film Production Company. Although the company has been losing money, saxton knows it can turn a profit. To this end, he put forward a specific market development plan, suggesting that Wilding Company sell the film studio and concentrate its business on consulting consultants and promoting new products. The boss greatly appreciated this and immediately promoted saxton as the vice president of Wilding Company, in charge of market development. In less than a year, he made Wilding's Chicago branch profitable. Saxton used his achievements to prove his ability to the management of the company, thus creating a higher position for himself.
