285| Your Raise Proposal, As a Simple One-Pager
Kicking off a new week, Nichole shows how to turn your accomplishment tracker into a simple one-page raise proposal you could actually hand your manager. In this episode: Why "proposal" sounds intimidating, and why this is really just one clear page that pulls together what you've already done Why a one-pager helps even if the conversation itself feels messy, since nerves happen and it keeps your case clear Section one: a short, direct opening line stating your intention, with no apologizing or over-explaining Section two: your top three to five achievements from your tracker, each with a result attached Section three: one or two of the strongest quotes or pieces of recognition from your kudos collection Section four: a short line referencing the market range you researched, and where you fall within it Section five: your actual ask, whether a number or a range, stated short and direct Keeping the formatting clean with simple bullet points, since it's meant to be skimmed, not read like an essay Using AI to help draft each section if you're staring at a blank page, then editing it to sound like you A note that you don't have to hand it over at the start of the conversation, and may prefer to bring it as a reference and send it afterward in writing Today's task: open a blank document and build sections one and two, your opening line and your top achievements Download the 7 Days to Ask for a Raise Challenge to help you confidently ask for a raise here.
