Excerpt from Lifescript #1: Asking for a Salary Increase
Icebreaker: I'd like to thank you for the opportunity you and the company have given me. I recognize that you've been very influential in my growth and advancement. However, I have a problem that I need your help with.
Pitch #1: What has happened is that I've been concentrating solely on my professional growth and haven't been paying any attention to my stream of income . . .
Pitch #2: I think my salary no longer reflects my contribution to the company . . .
Pitch #3: I think my salary no longer matches my job responsibilities . . .
