How to Ask for a Raise When You Hate Asking: The Script, the Number, and the Nerve

You're good at your job. You're underpaid for it. And you'd rather reorganize the supply closet than talk about money.

You've waited for someone to notice. You've dropped hints. You've read the "power move" advice and felt worse, because it was written for people who enjoy negotiating. This book is for everyone else.

Paul C. Whitaker has spent years helping people through the conversations they dread most, and he knows the problem was never your nerve. Nobody ever handed you the words. So this book does, in plain, honest scripts you can say out loud without sounding like a robot or a shark.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Find your number in about an hour, and say it without flinching
• Open the conversation in sixty seconds, then survive the silence that follows
• Answer what your manager actually says, from "there's no budget" to "after everything we've done for you"
• Recover gracefully if it goes badly, and follow up so your request doesn't quietly disappear

No bluffing. No fake offers. No manipulation. Just the true number, said kindly, by someone who's ready.

You can read it in two evenings. Your raise conversation may be coming sooner than that.
