Product Description
Excerpt from Lifescript #1: Asking for a Salary Increase

Icebreaker: I’d like to thank you for the opportunity you and the company have given me. I recognize that you’ve been very influential in my growth and advancement. However, I have a problem that I need your help with.

Pitch #1: What has happened is that I’ve been concentrating solely on my professional growth and haven’t been paying any attention to my stream of income . . .

Pitch #2: I think my salary no longer reflects my contribution to the company . . .

Pitch #3: I think my salary no longer matches my job responsibilities . . .

Whether you need to ask your boss to stop micromanaging, terminate a subordinate, confront a backstabbing peer, or cold call a potential client, Lifescripts gives you the most effective approach–and the actual words–to use.

The bestselling guide to workplace success, Lifescripts has been completely revised and updated, taking a sharp new business focus and adding more than 50 scripts that help you prepare for difficult on–the–job conversations. Each of the 109 Lifescripts gives you a plan that leads to the desired result regardless of the obstacles thrown in your path. You get an icebreaker opener, a pitch, an answer to every question, and a defense for every attack. You’ll also find strategic pointers on attitude, timing, preparation, and behavior.

From dealing with human resources to closing a deal, Lifescripts provides a road map to navigate successfully through the most perplexing, problematic workplace dialogues you may face in the course of your business life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifescripts, 16 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I'm always skeptical about these kinds of books, but after being persuaded to buy one when I attended a Confidence and Credibility seminar, I was pleasantly surprised.

This book is full of scripts that you can apply in every day life from asking your boss for a pay rise, to returning food in a restaurant that you are not willing to pay for. It is good for both professionals and every day persons (like my good self) as it covers a wide range of topics. Everyone can apply it to their life.

The scripts are laid out in an easy to understand format. It states the question that you need answering, or comment that you are making, along with each of the answers that may be given to you in that particular circumstance. It's helpful that all possibilities are covered because you are never backed into a corner...there's always an arrow pointing to something else to say, and the results are always positive.

It's a great book and I highly recommend it!
