Listen To This Before You Ask For That Raise!

The author takes you through the thought process you need to undergo before asking for that raise, what questions you need to ask yourself and being prepared for any counterargument. It's narrated in a positive way which makes you feel optimistic and worthy of that raise. My first thought was it was a short book but the information is delivered in a direct to the point manner, giving you what you need before asking for that raise.

Awesome book!!

This book is amazing...I wish I could have given it more stars!!
If you are thinking about asking for a raise and are not sure how to do it....this book is for you!!

The author has given lots of examples to how to and how not to ask for a raise. how to approach your manager, what to put in an email when asking for a raise. The need to make a list of your strengths and value you bring to the company and and not to make threats of quitting your job, and knowing when it is time to move on..

Brilliant book, I am definitely using the tips given in my upcoming meeting with my manager!

I wish I had listened to this book sooner...

This book is excellent! it tackles some very real issues in the workplace. From the start of the book to the very end, it had me gripped!

I have found myself in this situation so many times, I start to fret and worry about how I’m going to ask for a raise. (Even rehearsing it in the mirror). But it never comes out how I want it to, because I don’t know what to say.

This book really drills down into How to request a raise effectively and confidently! I have learnt so much and will pass this book onto my son. He will really benefit from this book too.

I highly recommend this book! I never have to worry again about having that awkward conversation!

AMAZING!! $$

I LOVED this audiobook! It contains so much value. If you work for "the boss", you must have a listen. It puts so many aspects of working as an employee into perspective. As well as offering simple tips to help build towards making the salary request move, it allowed me to gain understanding of my actual value within my area of work, and how to fully claim what I truly believe I am entitled to, as a representation of my worth. Definitely worth a listen!

Get that raise!

If you've been thinking you're stuck with the salary you earn, think again. As the author says, you don't have to accept sub-par pay anymore. Just take some simple steps and present a no-fail case to your manager. Why take home less pay than you deserve? Give a listen and get a raise!

Useful guide

This is a very useful guide if you’ve been feeling anxious to ask for the pay raise. This audiobook will show you what you need to do and how. It’ll make you feel more confident in asking what you need/want. It also shows you how to respond to objections. Good narration too.
