I still get deflated when I think about how flummoxed I got after I stumbled through my oh-so-rehearsed spiel, and got that completely unanticipated response. *sigh* Yep, just did it about three months ago and boy, was that a horrible experience.

To a manager you need to talk about return on investment and how much money you make for the company. Keep track and figure it out. Take every training course that they provide (increase their investment in you). Realize, and calculate their cost to replace you. If you can prove it on paper, with numbers, why it is a sound business expense to give you a raise, you'll not only get the raise, you'll impress the hell out of your boss and probably get a promotion.
