🎧 Podcast: How to Set Twice as Many Recruiting Appointments as Your Competitors

by | Jul 23, 2025

It’s no secret that recruiting appointments lead to hires.

No appointments = no hires.

Yes, you can try to convert a higher percentage of your appointments into hires, but increasing appointment volume is what really moves the needle.

That’s why I asked Anthony Spitalieri to join us on this week’s podcast.

Anthony is the Director of Business Development for Russell Real Estate, which operates in Northeast Ohio and the Cleveland metro area.

Russell is a third-generation company led by Jeff Russell, and they’re racking up some remarkable recruiting successes.

Anthony has contributed to many of these wins—but that’s not the main reason I invited him on the show.

It’s something better.

Anthony has developed the ability to set recruiting appointments with a conversion rate of more than 30%.

That’s twice the rate of most people I coach.

If he gets you on the phone, you’re probably going to end up meeting with him!

In today’s podcast, Anthony shares the exact methodology he uses to achieve these kinds of results.

If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager who wants to book more recruiting appointments, you don’t want to miss this episode.

All you need is talent and hard work to build a successful real estate career. You know better. Talent and hard work combined with an effective system (the bicycle) will always beat talent and hard work applied to an inferior system (the tricycle) or no system at all (running).
