Barbara Corcoran Explains How To Ask For A Raise

- At IGNITION, Business Insider asked real estate mogul and "Shark Tank" host Barbara Corcoran to share her advice on how to successfully ask your boss for a raise. Corcoran also talked about what you should do if you receive an offer from another company.
Following is a transcript:
Barbara Corcoran: If you want to get a raise, and particularly if you're a woman who wants to get a raise, women don't ask for raises I can tell you. I've employed thousands of women over my life. They do not ask for raises unless they absolutely must, and men ask all the time. And so, what the smartest thing to do is, first of all, make an appointment to ask for a raise, even if your expectation isn't that you're gonna get it. At least ask for it, because that sets you up for the next meeting where you'll likely get it.
And the smartest thing to do is to walk in with a list of your responsibilities when you started at the company, and then also the list of things you've taken on since you started. And simply make the boss aware that you have a lot more responsibility. You're delighted to take it on, give me more, but I'd like to be compensated and to name a number you'd like.
Most women, when they work up to the point where they'll ask for a raise, they won't give a number. "I'd like to get a raise." Men will walk in and say, "I'd like to get a raise. I'd like it to be around 10, 15 percent."
No qualms. So, if you're a timid woman, I think the smart thing to do is ask, "What would a man do?" And walk in thinking like a man. If you don't get the raise, you have to ask, "What would merit a raise?" So that when you come back the next time, you could say, "Hey, this is what I've done," "I'd like to get that raise."
When someone has come to me and said they got another offer for a lot more money from somewhere else, and it's not followed up with, "So, goodbye," they're looking for something from me. I never try to buy their loyalty because I haven't earned their loyalty, obviously, and they're on their way out the door, I'm not gonna stop them with more money. They're already off my list. I can't wait for them to go out that door.
It's perfectly acceptable to go to your boss and say, "You know, I'm a little surprised. I got an offer for a lot more money, but I'm not taking it because I love this business. But I'm really wondering, could you level with me as to my future prospects here?"
That's a great opener. And it's not insulting and it's not threatening. And guess what? You'll get the best out of that boss. Very, very different than saying, "You want to pay up?" The tone is entirely different. One, the boss wants to measure up. The other style, the boss wants to boot you out that door. I think the piece you have to put in is, "I got a great offer, I love working here and I plan to stay, but it brings on the table my question, what do you think my prospects here in the future might be?" That's pretty fair. If I were a boss, I would go out of my way to think of how I could push you ahead, if I value you. And if my response instead was, "Well I'm happy to hear about it, but you know, we pay you fairly and you have good responsibilities and we're pretty happy, so do what you want," or something like that, I would know I am not valued, and I would take the other job because the one thing you must be in any position you are, male, female, whatever level you are, is you must be valued and appreciated to be promoted.
It's a great way to go in and take a litmus test as to how you are valued in that boss' eyes, and your boss has more to do with your future than the company you're working for, your responsibilities and everything else. If they love you, they will push you ahead. I had so many people come and ask for raises over the years. Of course, mostly men. My theory as a boss is, you get ahead of your valued employees and you raise them before they ever get to ask. Because employees will kill for you, if you can treat them with that kind of reverence and respect and prove it by paying them more. They'll kill for you. They're loyal forever. And I've always been very lucky to be surrounded by people that are enormously loyal, and it's no accident. Because I make sure I push money, recognition, whatever I have, opportunity, more valuable than raises. Bonuses, whatever it takes to make them feel "I am loved." That's what everybody wants.

Barbara Corcoran Explains How To Ask For A Raise - Навчання та стиль
Your boss: "You wanted a raise, and for that reason you're out"
Val K pretty sure that’s a great way to get sued. You can’t discriminate like that
Pie 4life It’s a Shark Tank joke.
Why are you complaining? You have the RIGHT to work.....
CJ Barahona ... ya I’ve got the right to work aaaannnnnnd, get paid so ya I’m suing
@@MichaelRockfez/r WHOOoooOOOOOOSH!
most bosses aren't as professional or level headed as she makes them out to be
Then leave! There are too many jobs out there to be working for a scumbag boss!
So true
@@rightcoast7049 Easy tiger....
You need to leave that job you’re at then.
mago lago I’m fairly certain there’s a huge demand for labor rn, I have a feeling you’re either joking (in that case hah) or you’re looking in the wrong sectors
*why am i watching this im dont even have a job*
You can still get a raise all you have to do is ask 😉
Same bro... Let's walk into a random office and ask for a raise
@@uabir8338 MY MAN!!!!!
I'm self employed 🤣✌.
@@rosalarusch7297
Say word
I've worked for a small business for a few years I've never asked for a raise. My boss just gives me raises whenever he asks me to take on more responsibility. I love that company and have absolutely no plans on leaving. Finding a place that appreciates your work is amazing.
Where do you work?!?
@@classyamerican1776 at home
Lucky, mine is trying to get me to take on extra responsibility for the same pay
I started working for a small business 9yrs ago, they started me at $10.50; now I’m at $29.00. Company grew and was sold to a mother company; sad to say those good days are gone 😢
You work at an amazing place, my job is amazing and I get paid and treated well but I would never get that……you added beyond lucky……
Tried this and I got promoted to CEO. What do I do now Barbara?
Barbara’s out
Give yourself a raise
Give out raises
@@Nicksperiments that's hilarious.
Ask yourself you’d like a raise and then hope yourself will give you that raise
I had worked at this restaurant for 4 years and started at $10.50 and left making 12.50. Before I left I asked my manager if I could speak with him and we sat down and I asked for a raise. He said he would let me know. His daughter soon started working and she had no experience working in a restaurant , which is no problem. Little did I know he started her at 12.50 and months later he had yet to bring up a raise. I left and now I have a job that started me off at $18 and now I make $20. Point is , asking for a raise might not be enough if you work in a place that already does not value your work, look for a job that see’s what you bring to the table.
you're so right i just traded my last job at $13 hr for a $25hr, my previous boss said they could not afford to give me a raise, sometimes you need to quit and put yourself out there, now i work less and get paid more, life can sometimes bless you. i am happy to be where I'm at compared to last year
@@ebaocihc7085 This happened to me a year ago. I was working an engineering job that I did love, but when the time came to ask for a raise they denied me because of my lack of experience in the field. While I understand that argument they completely dismissed my original argument on how I took on more responsibility than hired for and excelled at everything I was doing. I thought it was fair to ask for that raise after being employed for 1.5yrs with them, plus the fact that I was extremely underpaid at that job. So I found another engineering job that offered me 50% more and the workload is extremely less than my previous job. I'd also like to add when I got my offer from the new job, the old job tried to match.
Great advice. If you feel you're worth more, someone else will too
Yup I’ve had a similar experience. When you work somewhere for a while you just start to accept the crap that they give you, and continue working your ass off. I worked at a place 2 years stocking shelves and unloading trucks making 11 an hour. I got a 22 cent raise after a year, which I thought was insulting because I was their most valuable employee and if I didn’t show up it would be a shit show. After 2 1/2 years I asked for a raise and my boss said no. I took off my uniform on the spot and got a job at ups. Moral of the story, don’t let people walk all over you.
eba ocihc what job are you doing?
I'm in, and for that reason, I'm out.
Ahahahah. So good.
Lmfaooii
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is only one way to get a raise:
- Get another job offer with better salary. It doesn't matter if your current place matches it or you move to other place - you've got your raise.
Exactly, i personally even when employed, still occasionally look for other jobs to maybe get in talks and get that better salary offer somewhere else. And then present that salary to your boss and make them either level it or get a (double) raise
diggoo oh the boss may match it but they surely will demand more from you and not in a good way. Longer hours and work through lunches kind of demands.
@@Pb4Au Careful, some bosses are spiteful and will say yes then fire you a few months later just for daring to leave, so that you have nothing and the offer from the other company would have expired.
@@DeynatheTaggerung uuuhhh that is good trick I'll made sure i use that when I'm the boss...
@@Kuroneko6235 And risk litigation for offer retaliation? I wouldn't recommend it. Companies would get away with it back then because people didn't know better, but nowadays everyone keeps copies of their emails and written interactions with their bosses just in case of bs like this getting pulled. If you try it, and get caught, you won't be boss anymore I guarantee it.
I'd like a raise of 150%
Make it 7000.50%
_You're fired_
sure but a 150% of 0 is still 0
Make it over 9000
That's somewhat possible if you switch companies 3-4 times. Even without a promotion.
I wonder if business insider gave the interviewer that raise
or the editor, or camera person
Probably not
Meanwhile at Shark tank: "Hi I'm Barbara and you look like the type of person who would ask for a raise and for that reason I'm out!!"
Haha too true.
1:10 just walk up and say “I’d like to get a raise of 10-15%”
*SPEECH 100*

[FAILED] How about you get back to work, thanks.

I just came back to thank this lady for the advice. I just got a raise and promoted!
How's it going now
Wow the way she speaks is incredible, very confident and knowledgable. Would love to have that business savvy and confidence one day!!
@ASHISH KAKRAN lmao go outside. She's mine
That's what money does to you.
Lol!@@aquaslicer5087
yes, thank you! @ASHISH KAKRAN
The way she speaks also includes lots of "I'm out"s
You gave some good tips and for that reason I'm OUT.
Sumit Sharma the reference
My friend worked as foreman at Robert Redford's ranch in Utah. He had a lot of responsibility, and asked for a raise several times and was refused. So he found another better paying job. He told Redford he was quitting. Redford said, "Ok, what'll it take to make you stay?" My friend replied, "Too late. " Redford discovered that the foreman was the only one who knew ins and outs of the irrigation/sprinkler system. Should have valued the employee when he had a chance.
One of the biggest things you need to work out is the starting pay. Owners, bosses, etc play off of this number BIG TIME! For example, you start as an entry level employee and the company offers you less than average because you have a little less experience then they would like (this is a typical tactic btw). On average (insert job here) pays $20 per hour, but they offer you $15 due to the experience. You agree in hopes they will see your true potential and get you back up to average or above average asap.
You go in, do the job and do it better than anyone the company has seen before, so you expect to get a raise. They will offer you a huge first pay raise if you can prove yourself. Lets say they give you a 25% raise, which is unheard of. So now you are sitting at $18.75 per hour and still LESS than average.
What this does is create a "you owe me" situation. Because they gave you a 25% raise, they expect you be a perfect employee and do your job even better and they will have no problems telling you this. Then the next year you will be lucky to get a raise at all because of this, and the next year you might get a few percent if you are lucky.
Is this starting to make sense? They just played you. Do not fall for this tactic. Whatever number you start at, will be used against you the entire time of employment.
That's facts, I'm currently trying to get myself out of similar sticky situation
Eye opening. I started way below avg. Its hard me for me to even ask for a higher raise knowing that what I make now is a lot more than what I started with, but still not enough than what I feel I deserve after so many years. Looking at current job opening and salaries, it’s better to leave and start somewhere new than to try to get them to meet me where I’m at.
Went to my boss and told him what I've done for our site, what I'm currently doing for the site, and what I plan to do for the site. All those things are beyond the basic job responsibilities that I voluntarily took on. Then I explained what the typical employee does (and doesnt do) at our site. Then I told him that I know typical employees that make more than me, and I know guys that put in extra work like me. Then I said those guys that put in extra work received a raise, and to be fair my work exceeds theirs. So I told him what I was worth and I should see that reflected two pay periods from now (typical sequence for a raise) or else current pay would represent a typical employee's work.
The raise didn't happen. So, I dropped all my projects without notice and when due dates for them to begin being implemented came, I told him they were not on the job description of a typical employee.
I'm still employed but currently looking for another job., My boss' boss is pissed at him because we cannot proceed with plans since they are behind. And I just love to see it because all my references are external to the company lmao
If you have to talk badly about colleges you dont deserve a raise ;) I have workers come in and compare themself to other colleges and put them down. They never get a raise. I rather do without them
I’m a female and earlier this year for the first time I asked my boss for double a bonus, I named the amount I wanted. I came to his office very humble and wrote down everything that I did to contribute that previous year that went above and beyond my job description. I did this because I was surprised at the bonus I had received and how it was the same as the first year I started working (I started a little past halfway of their fiscal year, so I didn’t expect much). But when I made the same amount the following year I was surprised. Now after speaking with him he honestly tried to blow me off... but then a few days later he brought it up again and I stood my ground and challenged his point of view. Just got my bonus at the beginning of this week... and I got what I asked for (with my 3% standard increase)! I honestly was scared I wasn’t going to get anything after our convos. My advice is tell the boss what you bring to the company and how you exceeded that, be humble, be a hard worker, and be brave enough to stand your ground. But you also have to not be a slacker... otherwise you shouldn’t ask. Also go in expecting a challenge from your boss like Barbara said, they aren’t just going to go “sure” immediately, it will take time. Just be patient and consistent in your work ethic to show them your character and value. If at the end of the year, they still don’t do anything you might consider changing jobs.
You just wrote a long comment that gave a clear good example and extension of what was shown in the video.
For that reason I am out
3% is inflation adjustment. Bonus is 10-20%

Immediately clicked on this video just to see the “im out” memes in comment section
This woman is a keeper. She knows exactly what she's talking about, due her years of experience and her good observation and analysis. "Employees will kill for you"...
I worked at burger king for 2years and never got a raise. I asked after 2years and was told u have to work here for 3yrs and IF u get a raise...the most u could get is 10¢ so I left! Went to taco Bell and they started me off on 50¢ more then burger king was giving to me!
Wow that’s quite the story
Good for you man just keep moving up learn as much as you can, and soon a company will hire you for a reasonable amount
@@joenike55 I wish it was a story sadly it happened small town no jobs. U got what u was given
vacationboyvideos keep pushing and I recommend gaining some type of skill that will make you more valuable than the other guy. Like speech or even having a smile that's brighter than others
@@c0sm0gyral80 thanks but I don't work no more now. I am in government assistance.
Just dumb shark tank jokes on here, this was actually great advice. I wish more woman would watch and listen to this
Great advice for men too, we aren't all Wall Street brokers with all the confidence in the world to know how to handle these situations.
I'm glad someone like you watched this video.
Travis Rabble I hope this nasty misogyny is your attempt at a “joke.” It’s dumb and unfunny. Yikes
@@ChrisBowman4864 true men dont always have wall street level confidence.
This is how I have always asked for raises and another golden rule I live by is asking for $2.00 an hour more than what they are offering in the beginning. It has always worked.
Timing is everything: bosses will find your request annoying if you've not been performing at a high level or if you've been late to work or out a lot lately. Choose a time after you've had a big win, find ways to show your stuff, then if boss doesn't mention/thank you for that big project, you ask them (with a proud smile) what they thought of it, and there's your opening line. If the feedback isn't as positive as you hoped, it's not the right time. Asking now will only backfire, as it may change their view of you to one of "they're not even doing the job well, and now they want more money?! Screw that."
My manager said that corporate gives bonuses to managers that don't give raises, which explains why the last manager would never give raises and always brought up the whole "we are family" guilt trip bullshit
Ugandan Chungus that’s my favorite excuse when the boss acts like your friend then literally steals hours off your check like you wouldn’t notice
@@gavinc2827 does that even happen? I asked my manager and she was like "uhhh no? We don't do that because it's illegal"
Ugandan Chungus how do you think small business gets ahead ?
I had a job that pushed 'we are family agenda'. Usually they asked to work over hours without the compensation. I found another job and told my manager that I would leave, he stopped talking to me. That 'we are family' crap was no more :)
This is the first time in my life I have heard a boss understanding the sentiments of her employees. They'd surely do their best and stay loyal if you recognize, appreciate and compensate accordingly 🙂
The intro was savage
Cooked him
I would've been like "yeah, tell that to bill gates n zucc"💀
Barbara - sooo true. Women don't learn how to ask or negotiate, men learn this early. One thing women do not do is keep a record of their accomplishments or new responsibilities to share with their superiors during a raise request conversation. Great advice given in this video.
So true what she says about women being too timid to ask for a raise
The thing is, I am a woman and would not ask overbearingly for a raise, because it is unprofessional. If I were a boss, I would not want an employee who is average to bother me for a raise every 2-3 months. That is highly unprofessional unless you live for that job, in which case you will get a raise without asking. So I actually see it as men being more willing to sacrifice their professional standing and stoop to a beggar level than women. Sure some are timid, but most respect themselves enough to not stoop to unprofessionalism, the same cannot be said for men, as they accept being lackeys more so than women.
It would be great if bosses will listen to her and give their best employees raises before they have to ask for a raise.
The Great 1 It goes back to if the employee deserves a raise. I’ve been a boss at multiple companies and it’s astounding to me that so many employees are just awful. Being lazy, selfish, insubordinate, etc will not get you anywhere. Many people are like that. They expect raises instead of earning them.
@@noahphillips9752
And that's why I said "their best employees"
I can only speak for myself, but if one of my designers delivers outstanding work I will give them a bonus. I do that every time. It's about keeping those people in your company that will help your business grow and stand out and not about having ppl doing a shitty job because you're just looking for cheap employees. Hell even if that means I'm not profitable short term, it's about building a successful business in the long run.
@@noahphillips9752 under payement and overwork causes major disinterest in the job. Maybe people weren't motivated because the job sucked dick and better compensation and better shift time was needed to improve workers culture.
@@noahphillips9752 The problems arise when the Boss believes all the employees are aweful, but in reality they're paid dogshit, and nobody's giving raises.
Really like the approach to leveraging an offer. Very diplomatic, professional tone.
Are you someone who reads as much as possible about potential investments and asks questions about them? If so, maybe you don't need investment advice. However, if you are busy with work, children, or other responsibilities, or if you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough to invest on your own, seek professional investment advice.
Investment professionals offer a variety of services at varying prices. You can get investment advice from most financial institutions that sell investments, including brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds and insurance companies. You can also hire a broker, investment advisor, accountant, financial planner or other professional to help you make investment decisions
Some financial planners and investment advisors offer a comprehensive financial plan that evaluates all aspects of your financial life and develops a detailed strategy to achieve your financial goals.
Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If professional financial advisors work for you, their efforts will pay off. Some of your possibilities are easier to see right away than others. However, in any case, always feel free to ask your investment professional how and how much is paid out.
Happy to meet Sherman Williams Trading, an expert I saw at a seminar and my life has changed since then
Oh wow, i bumped on this comment after watching this video and i'm so amazed seeing people talking about Sherman Williams Trading. I started investing with him few weeks ago and i'm making good profit already.
I'm so proud of you sir and i really appreciate you good works.
It’s great to see someone who also benefits from Sherman Williams Trading. This man is really dominating the trading zone and making things easy for he’s investors.
I’m proud to have you as a mentor, keep up the good works Sir…
can i text him on IG ??
Most people don’t ask for a raise because they think they have done nothing above what they have been asked to do.
Taz I or just think their boss will never give it to them
Most people don't ask for a raise because most bosses out there are dicks
You won’t get what you don’t ask for.
Best comment in the thread
Ask what you should be doing in order to receive a raise.
Best solution I've found is just changing companies or jobs. Started at $10 hour beginning of 2017 at my old job left June of last year @ $14.50 to my current job that started me out at $18 and now I make $25 and I've only been there 7 months and it's waaaaay less work than my previous job too 💁♂️
Before asking for pay raise, do your homework .
.polish your resume
.check the market
. Make few phone calls and apply for same job somewhere else.
Then, ask your boss for a meeting. You will be surprised how well the negotiation will go.
Before watching your video, I had already asked and received a small raise. Then I appealed based on your advice, and got even more! So thank you!!!
This video is pure gold, i have seen it like 5 times.
Some of her advice only put the employee at the risky position. When an employee has an offer from somewhere else with significant pay raise, she wants them to say "look... I have this offer that could potentially change my living condition, but I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT, just so that i can show you I'm so loyal to you". In reality, this is an extremely risky move because the current employer might just not have the headcount planning or the budget to give you any raises at all
I appreciate the honesty she has in regards to the differences between men and women and approaching a raise. Doesn't make anyone better or worse than anyone else, just makes them more money.
Great content as always and very interesting coming from a woman who has managed people. I love her to death she's so down to earth and always give great advice. Her intellect and business savvy is to be respected.
In 7 years of Nursing I went from getting paid 20 dollars an hour to 47 an hour. I leave companies who undervalue my work, and I know my worth I work 60+ hours a week and all my job is always completed with no one to look after me. I became the charge nurse in one year... my wife has never asked for a raise in her life she is also a nurse... if you are worth it they will pay it. Ask!
How are you liking the nursing field these days? What niche are you in?
This lady is brilliant! Made me think before taking an action on to consideration for a greater compensation. Staying loyal, Making a grand recognition and value to oneself is the way to go when trying to get promoted. She said it better and Well said! Thanks for the tips!!
This really connected with me and everything I have going on at the moment
This is really good stuff. I've seen more than a few guys who thought they were hotshots get their pride deflated, because they thought being slightly better or faster than others with the same responsibilities as then warranted huge raises. Listing your responsibilities when you started vs right now is very necessary.
I work for the mob and i've always felt like they under pay me.
Thank you for the advice!
Folks you're your own best advocate. Don't be afraid to ask for a raise, take that call with a recruiter or leave a job which you're unhappy with. I've spent more of my time unemployed in 2019 and 2020 than I did with a job. (For the most part) there are worse things in the world. Know your worth and don't be afraid to chase what will make you happiest whether it be more money or a new job. Good luck to you all and god bless!
I would love to work for this women. She has such simplistic knowledge and you get the sense you would learn a ton from her.
Love this video so much, makes total sense and helps me for real.
So she just explained a large portion of the pay gap
Bre ME well played
What she omitted is the fact you won't get a raise because Rajish and Abdi will do your job for 20% less and produce as much or more than you.
there is no pay gap broke ass
There is no pay gap fool, men just work harder and more hours
Hmmmmm I wonder why they don't bring up their concerns over a raise. Couldn't at all be their boomer boss who beats his wife at home.
Love hearing a woman’s perspective on this!!
Good info, by I feel strongly that you are the one percent. I’d love to find leadership that shows any positive support. I’ve found you have to inform them they need to thank you with gratitude or $. I’ve even told bosses to show coworkers gratitude for there efforts.
She’s awesome! I love her wit, she’s so funny but also provided great insight. I’m a fan of the two examples she gave on how to ask for a raise without coming off as demanding. While also using professional language and key terms.
I’m going down the Barbara rabbit hole. I just saw the video about her ex partner leaving her, but how it propelled her to greatness. Those who struggle know what it’s like to want more and will do what they can to achieve it by their own means.
I'm in t-shirt and shorts
You are going to ask for a raise anytime soon so *I'm out*
R u stalking me
Aha
Asks for raise
Ends up dead
*That's how mafia works*

Very good advice. Thanks Ms. Corcoran.
Excellent. Just helped me figure out how to ask for a raise properly.
She is AWESOME. Straight talking, to the point, fantastic. I am having the "conversation" today with my Manager. This has helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing all these great tips and advice.
How's the conversation going? mine is today, I am SO. SCARED! so nervous.
Absolutely brilliant delivery down to every single word!
Thank you so much for these great advices!
Such a good piece of advice, never knew, now I know!
I adore successful woman 👍🏻 Wish to be like her one day
Totally agree, we need to see more women like this and less Kardashian bullshits.
@@sheilabbb3044
The Kardashians are completely irrelevant unless you proactively follow them.
“one day” is not a day in the calendar, make your goals more precise.
Ask yourself: what can I do today to be closer to this best version of myself?
@@kirkwhen thanks for advice !
Cyst Leen No problem sister, if you have any questions, just send me a DM @kirklandnguyen on insta
Asking for a raise is like asking for spare change on the highway makes u feel bad and ashamed. But it’s the boss who should have automatically promoted u unless they suck
Barbara is so down to earth i love her
Very useful video. Wonderful tip, thank you business Insider
The corporate world doesn't work that way these days. There is very little loyalty from companies and employees as the average person changes jobs/careers every 18 months.
This was such great advice and I’m glad she highlighted the difference in genders. I know women talk about the pay parity but we need to know our own power and worth to go ahead full force.
Extremely valuable & real advice right here
Good video. Straight forward and to the point.
Totally agree! Once had my bosses put for a guy for a 10k pay rise, while a girl who had hit target had to wait. Their argument? He was 'more commercial'. Their only evidence - He asked for more money in his reviews. Want to see more women asking for what they deserve and going after what they want, and bossed looking at the evidence and promoting & rewarding their most valuable team members BASED ON FACTS!
This is why the gender pay gap is not entirely the fault of men.
I worked for a detailer and asked for a raise over 2 years. I thought I deserved it based on clients asking specifically for me to clean and detail their vehicle. I was denied 3 or 4 times in those 2 years.
I started telling clients I was leaving at the end of the month (last month there), started my own competing detailing company that’s mobile and those clients stuck with me.
Now I’m making pretty good money and all the money is in my pocket. It’s scary starting a business, but if you think you deserve a raise in the service industry and you’re good that people go to the company for YOUR work, it’s time to leave.
The only thing I regretted was not leaving sooner.
Sounds like you poached clients from your former employer. That's unethical.
Ron not really. They had the choice to stay and they decided to leave. If you provide a better service than the company itself, people will follow.
If you find a good barber at a shop or a good doctor at a big clinic, then that guy moves and you follow, is that “unethical”? No. You just like his services over the rest of the already existing business.
Poaching clients would mean I went out of my way to get their clients over to me. They were already my client, they asked for me at the company lol
@@cookiemonster208 Unethical is not paying your employees the salary they deserve. Sadly in this world all companies and enterprises are unethical.
Got the raise 20 minutes after watching this video. THANKS BARBARA!!!
Epic stuff. Will use in the future. Thank you!
Anyone else worried by the number of times she says "They'll kill for you!"
LOL. It's her side hustle. Why pay a hitman when you can just have IT do it?
I'm Barbara so I want a raise
Ahh thank you so much for that advice........ you answered ALL my questions!!!! 👍 👌 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤️
This all helpful insight you wouldn't get anywhere, really happy to find this video, although I don't work in private sector anymore so getting a raise is imposible lol.
I followed all the said steps and still didn’t get the raise.. but my boss has already blocked time in 6 months to discuss my raise again..
"Just pass up opportunities and hope your boss appreciates it"
yeaaah that might work if you have an exceptional boss but most people don't.
I don't think her point is that you pass it but that you approach the conversation that way
Exactly! Best way to get a raise is just to move on.
Thumbs down because that's not what she said. Learn to listen.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing
Your advice got me a raise. Much appreciated 🙏
Come to Europe!!
Employees with a degree work for years with 1k month pay and if you ask for a raise be ready to pack up your things...
She looks like one of Draugrs in Skyrim, but still gives some good tips.
LOOOL
@Artoria Pendragon you know businesswoman is a term right
She looks like a Fallout NPC.
lol not nice
Melón Collie why am I crying laughing at this comment rn
Knew I could count on your Barbara! Thank you.
Such an inspirational and useful video!!!
I went through 4 ceo's, 4 supervisors in 5 years and loved my job. I was promised a raise by my first boss, that person left and the new super said she would give me a raise. This was the same raise I had been promised before. Didn't get jack but I stayed because I loved my job. One day I got an offer elsewhere and I took it. I heard people were wondering what had happened to me since I left overnight . I guess so much stuff was happening there that some thought I may have been fired unfairly. It was just good timing since I also got a pretty crappy new boss anyway. I was tired so it was the best thing I ever did. I still love what I do but have grown internally immensely. Life is too short to deal with bs.
Me: Can I get a raise?
Boss: Nah
Me: And for that, Im out.
That opener was pure genius
I watch this video yesterday at the same time I was emailing my boos asking for a sit down I ask for a 10 % rise but my email was so good that he give me 22% thanks very good information
Even if you do what she says she’ll still say no
That’s facts🤣 she’s the first one out of the deal every time
She reminds me of every elementary school teacher
I just reviewed an offer letter from a company that was 5 more bucks an hr. I sat and let my boss know that I revieved this and let him know I wasn't actively looking and can't help that recruiters reach out to me. Let him know i am happy here but can't ignore an offer like that. He counteroffed 4 bucks! I'm staying at place I love and got my raise!
so spot on about employee loyalty if they feel taken care of. Frank Lopez to Omar--"a guy like that will break his back for you"
I really appreciate this advice. I do the "what would a white man do?" test all the time. I try and channel that level of confidence that my imaginary idea of a white man has. I use that example to advocate for myself in the workplace in scenarios where I would otherwise stay quiet.
😂😂😂Not just any white dude though... The succesful, balsy dude or else you still might stay behind.
What does race have to do with it?
Honestly, what does gender even have to do with it? Why can't you just ask yourself "what would a confident woman do?". Confidence is not a male or female-only thing. This is why you are behind in life, you keep comparing yourself to others that are different, instead being the best you in your existential situation can be. Has nothing to do with race or gender.
“Good morning Ms Corcoran. I’d like a raise, and for that reason, I quit.”
This is all so well said!
We need more bosses who will treat employees with respect like this👏🏼
If I said this to my boss, I think they would fire me. Instead of making an appointment for asking for a raise, can Barbara be more realistic in today's day and age and explain how to make a case for NOT GETTING FIRED. That's even better than a raise! Threatening your boss with a higher salary from another company is the fastest way to get the boot or be labeled as not loyal.
how to ask for a raise: “can i have more money”?
Great advice on how to approach your boss and selling yourself!
very helpful, thank you
