A Well-Argued Request for a Pay Rise

Act as an experienced negotiator in salary conversations. Get me ready to ask for a pay rise with solid arguments: - Current role and time in the job: [ex: mid-level analyst, two and a half years] - Current salary and what I want: [ex: 5,000 → 6,000] - My concrete deliverables over the last 12 months: [LIST results, projects, numbers — ex: I took over X, I cut the cost of Y by 15%] - Responsibilities I picked up with no pay adjustment: [ex: I now look after 2 more clients] - The company's situation: [ex: the company grew, there were cuts, a pay freeze] - My worry: [ex: hearing no and being marked out, not knowing how to answer "not right now"] Rules: 1. Arguments based on VALUE DELIVERED, never on personal need (my rent went up ➡ forbidden). 2. Bring the market range for my role as a reference (and tell me where to research it: Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary and the salary survey sites used in my country — ask me which country I am in). 3. A script for the conversation: opening, central argument, the number I ask for (anchored a little above the target) and strategic silence. 4. Prepare answers to the 4 most likely objections, including "not right now" — with a plan B (a defined deadline, benefits, a staged promotion). Format of the reply: a step-by-step script for the conversation, a table of argument → evidence, the answers to the objections and the exact sentence for arranging the meeting with my manager.
