**TRACK 06 — ASK FOR MORE**
[Verse 1]
I remember getting the offer,
More than I had made before,
Saw the number, felt so grateful
I was ready to say yes before
I asked what the role was worth,
What the market really paid,
What the person there before me earned,
What leverage I had made.
I'd spent years becoming valuable,
Then negotiated like I wasn't.
Funny how we fight to build a skill
Then get uncomfortable discussing what it costs.
So I learned to stop confusing
Gratitude with taking what they give.
You can appreciate the opportunity
And still negotiate the deal.
[Pre-Chorus]
Know the range before the meeting.
Know your numbers, know your proof.
Don't walk in saying, "I deserve it."
Walk in showing what you do.
Revenue raised.
Costs reduced.
Problems solved.
Clients retained.
The strongest case for getting more
Is measurable value created.
[Chorus]
Ask for more.
Don't make them guess your number.
Ask for more.
Let the silence sit a little longer.
Not from ego,
Not because somebody else has more—
Know the value you deliver,
Then negotiate what it's worth.
Ask for more.
Ask for more.
A closed mouth can work for years
At yesterday's price.
[Verse 2]
Salary isn't the whole conversation,
Sometimes cash is only one line.
Ask about the bonus and the equity,
Remote days, vacation, title, time.
Ask what happens when you hit the target.
Ask when compensation gets reviewed.
Ask what success looks like in twelve months
Before you sign what they hand to you.
And if you're selling your own service,
Don't price it by the hours you spend.
If two hours solve a million-dollar problem,
Your clock isn't where the value ends.
Price the outcome.
Know the alternatives.
Understand the cost of walking away.
Negotiation gets much easier
When you don't need every deal to stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
But don't bluff without an exit.
Don't threaten what you won't defend.
Leverage isn't talking louder—
It's having another road if this one ends.
Build your options before you need them.
Keep your skills and network strong.
The easiest person to underpay
Is the one with nowhere else to go.
[Chorus]
Ask for more.
Don't make them guess your number.
Ask for more.
Let the silence sit a little longer.
Not from ego,
Not because somebody else has more—
Know the value you deliver,
Then negotiate what it's worth.
[Bridge]
Here's where people lose money:
They negotiate against themselves.
"Could we do ninety?"
Silence.
"I mean... eighty-five could work."
Nobody said no.
You did it for them.
Make the ask.
Then stop talking.
Let the other side think.
A few seconds of discomfort
Can change a year of income.
And a year of income
Invested over decades
Can become much more
Than one uncomfortable conversation.
[Break]
But remember—
Getting more isn't winning
If everybody leaves the table angry.
The best deal is repeatable.
Know what matters to you.
Learn what matters to them.
Trade what costs you little
For what they value more.
That's negotiation.
Not domination.
Not manipulation.
Alignment.
[Verse 3]
And when they say, "There's no budget,"
Don't always hear the final word.
Ask, "What would need to happen
For this conversation to return?"
Get the target in writing.
Set the date and set the measure.
"If I deliver X by December,
Can we revisit compensation together?"
Now you've turned a vague rejection
Into a measurable door.
Sometimes "not today" is useful
When you know exactly what unlocks more.
[Final Chorus]
Ask for more.
Bring the evidence beside you.
Ask for more.
Don't let fear negotiate inside you.
Know your floor.
Know your target.
Know the number you'd be proud to take.
And know when walking from the table
Is the smartest deal you'll make.
Because careers aren't only built
By increasing what you can produce.
Part of winning is making sure
The value you create
Comes back to you.
Build the skill.
Create the proof.
Earn the leverage.
Make the ask.
Then let the silence
Do its work.
Ask for more.
