  • 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.

    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.

      @@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.

      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.

  • @DickGazInYa
    @DickGazInYa 4 роки тому +69

    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.

    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

    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.

    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."

      @user-ee8cq9jt3y 4 роки тому +3

      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.

    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 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

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
