This is a repeat of December's episode in case you missed it!
Rob and Kane talk about how to get a pay rise. They debunk common LinkedIn myths and Rob reveals his insider secrets and gives practical strategies that could transform your earning potential. They also share their controversial views on why cost-of-living complaints won't get you anywhere and give a framework that could guarantee you a pay rise with 90% accuracy. This is essential listening for anyone looking to level up their income in 2025!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Employers need to make money before they can pay employees more. Focus on how you can help the business make more money rather than your personal circumstances.
- Going commission only or reducing base salary for higher commission can break through salary caps, as you won't be limited by your manager's salary.
- Working for smaller companies (under 20M revenue/100 staff) gives better access to entrepreneurial leaders and more opportunities for growth.
- Employers often prefer to retain staff due to high costs of recruitment, training, and onboarding. Use this knowledge strategically in negotiations.
- Document specific ways you've made or saved the company money, with clear ROI figures. Aim to show how you can make the company 10x what you're asking for.
- Sales and marketing roles offer the most security and earning potential. They're typically last to be cut in downturns and skills are highly transferable.
BEST MOMENTS
"Basically you should do the opposite of the bullshit you read on LinkedIn"
"I could, with 90 percent accuracy, guarantee anyone gets a pay rise with what I'll share. I could with a hundred percent accuracy guarantee that no one will get a fucking pay rise if they say to me that the cost of living has gone up."
"If you can make the company 50 and you're asking for 5, well, that's a no brainer. That's 10%."
"Comfort is the opposite of greatness. So I would say to anyone who's worried about AI, what are you going to do about it? Cause what does worrying do? Fuck all."
"Sales people, however, very safe... I will protect my sales guys at all costs."
