Pay-Rise Kit

Ask better: the exact words, backed by your numbers.

Ask better: the exact words, backed by your numbers. The Pay-Rise Kit helps you prepare for a raise or a new job offer with a clear plan, real scripts and a number you can explain.

The guide gives you a 4-week prep timeline and six word-for-word scripts, each with alternative phrasings: the email asking for a meeting, how to open the conversation, making the case with numbers, what to say when you hear “there's no budget right now,” negotiating a new job offer, and the follow-up email afterward. There's a list of phrases to avoid (and what to say instead) and a one-page day-of cheat sheet.

The spreadsheet has an achievements tracker (a “brag doc” for what you did, the impact, the proof and the numbers) and a salary research worksheet that works out the median of your research and a target to ask for.

Works in Excel and Google Sheets, in any currency.
