Half of getting what you want is to ask for it. I learned this valuable lesson at my very first job out of college. I was a straight commission sales person for the bad country station in Pittsburgh, PA. Not the good country station, but the bad one; we had terrible ratings and the station was just not good. We had no listeners which made it tough to get advertisers on the air. 
Anyway to make a long story short I learned two things at the job. To think outside the box and to ask for what you want. I would meet with people and listen to what their needs were and then I would share with them how we could help them achieve a goal or reach a certain audience. And then…. I would ask for the business! I was listening and asking. And you know what? I started to get it. Do you ask for the business you want?
