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.
