Asking for more money at work isn't everyone's idea of fun. But in most cases if you don't ask you'll stay exactly where you are - so it's an imperative skill if you want to be the one rewarded. 

In this episode, hosts Lisa and Em discuss how to effectively negotiate a pay rise with your manager and share anecdotes on how they've successfully asked for more money at work. From starting your campaign months before your next review cycle to what actually to say to your boss in the meeting, and how to balance the push with undeniable evidence. This episode will help you build the script and the confidence to ask for what you want. 

What you'll learn:

- The four points you can use to structure your pay rise conversation with your manager

- How to prepare before the meeting (including what not to say)

- The non-cash items you can also negotiate

- How to create an ongoing dialogue to leverage at the right moment, regardless of if it's "performance review" time.
