Asking for money, and other conversations people avoid
Chasing an invoice. Quoting a price. Asking for a raise. Saying no. Delivering bad news. Five conversations that decide a great deal of your income — and the words for each.
What you can do afterwards
Stop letting discomfort decide the outcome, with the actual sentences for the five conversations that cost the most.

Included free, inside the class
The four-second silence after you say a number, and what it is doing.
Every class ends with one
The one page to keep
A final page built to be printed on its own and pinned up — the checklist, the numbers, the exact words, and where to verify each of them yourself. It repeats rather than references, because a card that says “see page four” is a card nobody keeps.
What this class will not do
- Tell you what you will earn. Nobody honestly can.
- Motivate you. It is a set of instructions, not a speech.
- Pad itself. It is 6 pages because that is what the subject needs — the last one is yours to keep.
Rates and requirements quoted inside are set by the companies involved and can change without notice. When they do, the class is corrected — and if you hold the library, you get the corrected version at no cost.
