Promotion Without Pay Rise Response

You got the new title but not the money, and you are now doing work above your old band. Give it your role, time in post, current salary and the market range, and it scripts three conversations: raising it with your manager as a natural next step, holding firm if they stall, and the fallback if they say no. The words for a talk most people fumble.

I was recently promoted to {NEW_TITLE} but my salary has not changed. I've been in the new role for {TIME_IN_ROLE} and I'm now doing work that clearly sits above my old pay band. My current salary is {CURRENT_SALARY} and the right market range for this role is {MARKET_RANGE}.

I need scripts for three conversations:
1. Raising the topic with my manager for the first time, framing it as a natural next step rather than a grievance
2. Responding if my manager says the pay rise will come at the next review cycle, i.e. getting a commitment with a date, not a vague promise
3. Escalating if my manager is sympathetic but says the decision sits above them

For each, include what outcome I'm aiming for and what a successful response from them would sound like.
