Ask for the Raise

Build your case

Open the conversation

You will work with a guide to write a brief meeting invitation and outline what you will say first. You will get immediate feedback to ensure your request is direct and professional.

Handle "not this year"

You will work with a guide to outline your plan for when a manager rejects your request. You will learn to control your initial reaction, ask constructive questions, and schedule a future follow-up.

Negotiate the package

You will work with your coach to break down your target raise into separate parts like job title, pay, and start date. Together, you will plan what trade-offs you are willing to make and how to ask for time to think before saying yes.

Close and follow up

You will work with a coach to map out the final minutes of your salary discussion. You will learn how to verbally summarize agreements and set up a written follow-up.
