✓

You tied your ask to results, like the two accounts you took over.

What to work on

↗

Pause after you state your number. Silence is not a no.

↗

When you hear 'budget,' ask what would need to be true to make it happen this quarter.

↗

Close with a date: 'Can we check back on the 15th?'

Moment by moment

When Dana said budgets were already set

What you did: You offered to wait six months without asking what would make it possible sooner.

Try this: Say: "I understand. What would need to happen for this to be approved before then?"

When you named your number

What you did: You said $72,000 clearly and tied it to the two accounts you took over.

Try this: After you say the number, pause. Let her respond first.

When Dana asked what changed since your review

What you did: You gave one strong example with a result.

Try this: Add a second proof point: "I also trained the two new hires, which freed up 5 hours a week for the team."

How you closed

What you did: You thanked her and agreed to follow up.

Try this: Lock a date: "Can we check back on the 15th?"

For the real conversation

Lead with impact, then the number, then stop talking. Try opening with: 'I'd like to talk about my compensation. Over the last year I took over two client accounts and grew them 18%, and I'm asking to move to $72,000.'

Your best line

"I'm asking to move to $72,000 based on what I've taken on this year."
