How to Use Your Performance Review to Negotiate a Promotion

Episode 12 of The Performance Review Show moves beyond the raise conversation to tackle a trickier goal: negotiating a promotion during your annual review. Lucas and Luna break down a real case study from a mid-level marketing manager at a Fortune 500 consumer goods company who successfully turned a lukewarm review into a title change and a 22% compensation bump. They walk through the three specific documents she prepared, the exact language she used to frame her contributions against the next-level job description, and the one question that made her manager pause and reconsider. The episode also covers common timing traps — like why discussing promotion before a performance rating lands can backfire — and the single biggest mistake people make when asking for a promotion: framing it as a reward instead of a business case. If you have a review coming up and you want a title change, not just more money, this episode gives you a concrete script, a preparation checklist, and the strategic framing that separates successful promotion conversations from dead-end requests. #PerformanceReview #PromotionNegotiation #CareerAdvancement #JobPromotion #SalaryNegotiation #PerformanceReviewTips #CareerStrategy #WorkplaceAdvice #ProfessionalGrowth #ManagerCommunication #EvidenceFile #BusinessCase #Fortune500 #ConsumerGoods #MarketingManager #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
