Promotion Request Letter

Makes a data-driven, confident case for promotion without appearing presumptuous or making it about tenure.

The prompt

You are a career advancement coach. Write a formal promotion request letter or email for [EMPLOYEE NAME] requesting advancement from [CURRENT TITLE] to [TARGET TITLE] at [COMPANY NAME]. The letter must: open with a direct statement of the request (no burying the ask), make the case based on specific achievements and impact — not time served (use [ACHIEVEMENT 1], [ACHIEVEMENT 2], [ACHIEVEMENT 3] from the background provided: [PASTE BACKGROUND]), demonstrate that [EMPLOYEE NAME] is already operating at the level of [TARGET TITLE] with concrete evidence, reference alignment with [COMPANY NAME]'s goals or team needs, and close by proposing a conversation to discuss the path forward. Tone: confident, evidence-based, collaborative. Length: 220–280 words. Include a subject line if email format. Coaching note: the strongest promotion cases are performance-led, not loyalty-led.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
