Today's episode of PM Collective features Rebecca Halton, director of LJ Hooker City Residential in Perth. Annually, LJ Hooker sells over 40,000 properties worth approximately A$15 billion. Also, it has one of the largest residential sales teams in the market, with 3,200 sales professionals and over 2,000 support staff. In today's episode, Rebecca addresses a highly touchy subject, namely pay raises, and she goes over almost all of the facts associated with this topic.

[07:50] Pay Raises – Rebecca elaborates in detail on a wide variety of matters related to the raise in salary.

[33:45] Conversation – Rebecca encourages listeners to talk with their employer even if they don't feel prepared, but they want to know how a pay raise can occur. 

[38:24] Never Wait – Using her experiences as an example, Rebecca outlines why it is counterproductive to wait for performance assessments or for the employer to increase compensation.
