Muhammad Ali once said,

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit!’  Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

I have met very few high-performing recruiters and hiring managers who…

Loved picking up the phone and making uncomfortable calls.

Loved getting rejected by a recruiting prospect who’s marginally successful.

Loved being stood-up on a recruiting appointment.

Loved initiating a meaningful recruiting dialog and later getting ghosted.

Loved setting and protecting a recruiting time block in their schedule.

Loved doing the tedious work of updating their recruiting database and building a prospect list.

Loved doing all the other proactive tasks that lead to recruiting success.

Instead, high performers focus on the long-term results and personal wins they seek.

This could be increasing your personal income, defeating a competitor, experiencing the accomplishment of growing a successful office, or seeing the light in an agent’s eyes whom you’ve helped reach remarkable success.

Everyone wants to be a champion, but few are willing to make the sacrifices to become one.

Are you up for the challenge?
