Want A Raise? Pitch It Like a Business Deal, an Interview with Paul Lefcourt
What if asking for a raise didn’t sound needy, but strategic?
In today’s episode, we talk with Paul Lefcourt — national leader, co-founder, and master negotiator — about how to turn compensation conversations into business proposals. If you've ever wondered how to make your manager drop their guard when asking for more, or how to stand out in annual reviews, this episode is packed with frameworks that work.
We cover:
- The 3-part business plan that gets yeses — even in tight budget years
- The #1 mistake people make when negotiating raises (spoiler: they make it about themselves)
- Why Paul offered to co-fund a hire — and how that got him a raise and more
- The math every employee should know before walking into a compensation conversation
- What great leaders actually look for in a raise request
Plus, we unpack a free resource you can use to prep your own annual business proposal (link below).
