Create a plan for getting the raise you want. Predict two roadblocks that may arise during negotiations and recommend two ways to deal with those roadblocks.
Propose a way to artfully say "no" when your boss or other company officers ask you to do something that you just do not have time to do or that you do not think will help your career. Create a brief scenario that depicts what might happen after you decline a request like the one in question and determine how negotiation tactics can help you say "no," and, as a result, be freed from the undesirable task.
