My performance at work has been unsatisfactory recently, but I still want to get a raise. How can I use psychological tactics to convince my boss to give me a raise?

It is likely that your boss expects more from you in terms of performance since you are looking for a raise. To successfully convince them, it is important to demonstrate how increased responsibility and higher standards of work can lead to greater success. Moreover, emphasize how such expectations are within the reach of your existing capabilities and experiences by detailing past situations where you've taken on more difficult tasks or exceeded the expected standards. Finally, emphasize the benefits that an increase in pay would bring to both you and the company - from further motivation towards better productivity or investment in skills necessary for further growth.

Firstly, you should try to re-focus your boss’s attention away from your recent performance and towards your accomplishments and strengths. Create a portfolio that illustrates how you have taken initiative to contribute and improve the company's work. Additionally, tailor any requests or discussions to what would be of greatest value to the company; demonstrate how receiving a raise would directly contribute to an improvement in their bottom line.
