One of my reps got an insane job offer. It was more than double what we were paying her. When she told me, my first thought was selfish. "We just lost our best salesperson. What do we do?" But the first words out of my mouth were: "You need to take that. I know you want to buy a home." Then I acted as her reference. The worst time to offer a raise is after someone resigns. If they are valuable to you, make it clear long before. And keep the people who genuinely want to stay. Credit to Tobi Oluwole
