Does anyone have experience with Ben Glass’s “Great Legal Marketing” programs? https://greatlegalmarketing.com
I ordered a free “starter kit” from his company and received a decent-sized box with some books and audio CD’s. Haven’t listened to the CD’s yet, but the books aren’t bad, with plenty of practical advice.
Now he’s running a promotion where you can get two months of his basic-level course for just $19.95 to cover the cost of shipping. It seems that Ben is one of the better-regarded legal marketing “gurus” out there.

The biggest raise I ever got was one I asked for. Because men will punish women for asking for a raise (it’s proven) I did a bunch of research and found that the way to get around that is to talk about the communal benefits of one, instead of personal ones.
Instead of “I need to make more money because I’m barely covering childcare.” You’d say “if I made more money, I could get better childcare so I could spend more time focused on my work.” Focus your language around how the company or team would be better served by your raise.
You can do this in another way. The key to being a powerful negotiator is being willing to walk away, so have a backup plan. Be willing to leave if you don’t get the raise. Have another offer lined up. Then you can say “I’d hate to leave the team hanging but I can’t stay if I don’t get the raise.”
Negotiation is unfortunately a gendered skill. You can’t negotiate like a man does. Women need to be likable in negotiation, men can pound the table. I mastered it and got a 75% raise and stock options.
I wish that it was about how good you are. But it never is.
Yes, I always had to petition for myself getting a raise, even if I received praise for my work.
At my last job, I had to jump through hoops for every extra penny. That's one of the primary reasons I left. Where I am now, I'm much more appreciated and well-compensated for my worth.
Finally feel that I am acknowledged for my work. But at my jobs before this position (in the last 5 years) I 100% had to prove myself every step of the way.
Yep. Always have to fight for it. And its usually not that great of a raise either.
