Request
Dear,
I appreciate the opportunity I’ve had during the last [ ] years to
serve as a vital member of the marketing and sales support team. This past year
has been an especially challenging one for our business, but my accomplishments
have continued to build on my earlier achievements, and I have high
expectations for this success to continue for the foreseeable future. Below are
some highlights of how I have helped the department and the company in the past
year:
1. Developed a proposal that brought a client from the brink of
terminating our services to renewing at a higher level than before, adding a
net gain of $[ ].
2. Partnered with several sales team members to attract new
business opportunities, totaling $[ ] million.
3. Conceptualized, proposed, and produced a market research
study that serves as a valuable tool for our industry, increasing our
visibility, and making it easier for our sales team to call on prospective
clients.
4. Served on [ ] company-wide task forces that identified
redundancies, cut costs, and saved the company several million dollars.
5. Participated in and attended four professional meetings,
increasing the visibility of the company within the industry.
6. Mentored and trained [ ] interns who handled many routine functions
within the department, freeing up team members to focus on new client
development and current client retention.
7. Proposed new projects, and completed all new tasks and
assignments by their proposed due dates.
I look forward to continuing to play a key role within the
department, and given all of my recent accomplishments and that my salary is
below industry averages, I am confident that you will offer a salary increase
that reflects these issues and my standing in the department. I look forward to
discussing my request further in person.
Thank you,
