We can go to 97.

But you get something.

And so asking almost always pays off.

And of course, you know this same way you teach all of your audience to negotiate for businesses.

If you just ask, it's probably there.

Yeah, absolutely.

So here's the basic idea.

Most managers are trying to reward their top performers.

But the thing people forget about managers, managers have their own career, their own life, their own partner and children, they're not noticing everything.

And so if someone is doing a good job advertising their work, making it visible, they may be seen as a much higher performer than this person who's sitting silently.

The number one thing I hear people tell me

is, oh, I'm just going to keep my head down and work hard.

And I expect my hard work will be rewarded.

And I call this work hard and hope to be noticed.

And to follow on to that, hope is not a very good strategy.

So there are things you can do.

They're pretty simple to make your work visible.

The most obvious in a corporate environment is just send out a status report.

Just write a little note at the end of every week or put it in Slack and say, hey, here's what got done this week.

And compared to the people who don't do that, it's just like going in and offering help.
