How One Employee Got Promoted by Negotiating Their Own Role

In Episode 61 of The Promotion Memo, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a senior analyst at a mid-sized logistics firm who negotiated themselves into a brand-new role rather than waiting for a promotion to materialize. They break down the specific conversation script the employee used with their VP, the research they did beforehand on company pain points, and how they structured a six-month trial period that de-risked the promotion for both sides. The episode also covers why most employees leave money and title on the table by never negotiating the role itself—only the salary. Lucas shares a counterintuitive stat: a 2025 survey found that employees who negotiated a job scope change during a promotion conversation were 40% more likely to stay at the company for two years. This episode is packed with actionable language and tactical prep for anyone who feels stuck in a role that doesn't match their ambitions. #PromotionMemo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #JobNegotiation #RoleNegotiation #CareerAdvancement #PromotionStrategy #WorkplaceInfluence #CareerGrowth #NegotiationSkills #EmployeeEmpowerment #Leadership #InternalMobility #CareerHacks #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobCrafting #Visibility #ExecutivePresence Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
