Item #4 - The Process - So many factors, take all process items including timing into consideration
Item #5 - Self-Evaluation - Are you really crushing it, is now the right time for a promo?
Item #6 - Prepare - Create a formal doc you can share with your boss during or right after your meeting, this will speed up the process and show you are organized
Item #7 - Practice - Make sure whoever you practice with Google's questions a boss might ask if you ask for a promotion, this part of the practice will be important
Item #8 - The Conversation - Be gracious, be kind, be organized, be methodical, and don't let them know this conversation is coming, you want to get a natural reaction
Item #9 - Expect Questions - No problem, you are already prepared and practiced answers to commonly asked questions
Item #10 - Response Time - Ask for when you can expect an answer - hold them accountable
Item #11 - Responding to No - Be gracious, be kind, and ask if you can create a 3 to 6 month action plan to get promoted, if no, find another job!
Thanks!
