Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, I heard an enlightening Jay Abraham story:
Jay was advising a client who was in deep trouble. The client had tried everything — “Everything!” — and was still about to go bankrupt.
After a half day of frustrating consultation — “I already tried that,” the client kept saying — Jay finally just threw up his hands, told the client to double his prices, and stormed out.
The client first thought Jay was an idiot and a jerk. Then, he had a beer with his colleagues, and thought a bit. He decided to double his prices exactly as Jay had advised. Suddenly, everything clicked and his business was saved.
Point being, pricing can be the quick and permanent fix to lots of seemingly insurmountable problems, which can otherwise suck up years of life and blood and effort, with nothing to show for it.
That applies to you if you’re a business owner, the way Jay Abraham’s client was. It also applies to you if you’re working for someone else.
And if that’s the case:
This week, until Thursday, I’m promoting Shaina Keren’s neat, elegant, and effective course Get A Raise.
Get A Raise is for you if you’re working for someone else, and you’re frustrated, and you think your only way out is to get a new job, or to quit your job and strike out on your own, or to go into a completely new career etc.
I’m not telling you not to do any of those things — you’re smart and grown up, and you can make your own decisions. All I am telling you is that there is another option as well, which is simply to “raise your prices” in the form of getting paid significantly more for what you already do, right where you are.
I’ve been out of the employee world for a good while, as evidenced by my telling the above story of Jay Abraham’s business client to sell Shaina’s course for people who work 9-5.
I’m promoting Shaina’s course nonetheless because I was so impressed by the results her clients got:
* An accountant, who was getting paid $50k, who went on to be paid $110k
* A secretary who was in reality the brains behind the entire company, who went from a $90k salary to a $150k salary
* A salesperson who had gradually taken on a kind of operator role, and who went from a salary of $250k to $500k
The best part is that Shaina’s process is new (at least to me, and I once wrote a book about salary negotiation) and it’s stress-minimal. Just prepare a single document the way Shaina tells you to prepare, and deliver it to your boss, along with a 55-word scripted explanation. No haggling, intimidating, or being intimidated necessary.
Shaina’s Get A Raise course is based on her $1,500 one-on-one coaching program. It contains the same information, without the handholding.
The course normally sells for $197, a fraction of what the coaching sells for. But right now, as a special deal for you and you alone, because you happen to be a reader of this newsletter, you can also get an extra $50 off the regular price.
That means the current deal on Get A Raise is just $147, 1/10th of Shaina’s coaching, which itself was 1/10th (or even less) of the salary increases that people who apply this process typically get.
This offer is good until this Thursday, June 26, at 12 midnight PST. If you wanna get it:
1. Head on over to https://bejakovic.com/raise. There’s no sales page for this baby, just an order form with a few testimonials (eg, “I still can’t believe I get to keep the job I love and feel well compensated.”)
2. Put in the code BEJAKOVIC50 at checkout. Make sure the price drops from $197 to $147 before you buy.
If you got questions or doubts, write me and I will address them either in private or, if appropriate, under the bright lights of this newsletter.
But as I wrote yesterday, I’ve never sold, bought, or even seen a course that offers such clear and direct ROI.
If you’re working a 9-5 job, and if you believe you’re not worth firing, then you are likely being underpaid, and Shaina’s course can help fix that.
