How do I ask for a promotion in writing?

Open with your interest in a specific role, quantify 3-5 key achievements with metrics, explain how you already operate at the next level, and request a meeting to discuss your career path formally.

What achievements should I highlight in a promotion request?

Focus on measurable results: revenue generated, costs saved, projects led, team members mentored, and processes improved. Use specific numbers and percentages. Show impact beyond your current job description.

How does CraftMyLetter AI help with promotion request letters?

CraftMyLetter AI structures your achievements and qualifications into a persuasive, professionally formatted promotion request letter. It ensures you hit all the right points — from quantified accomplishments to a clear ask — in about 30 seconds.

Is it better to ask for a promotion verbally or in writing?

Both. Start with a written letter to formally document your request and give your manager time to review your case. Then follow up with an in-person meeting to discuss. The letter creates a paper trail and shows you're serious.
