Becoming A Talent Scout Vs A Recruiter
By: Sue Seward
Folks this IS the ONE thing that HAS to happen
before you will become successful in anything
you attempt to do.
You must first build yourself and your
own talents!
When this happens you all of a sudden develop
posture.
What is posture?
It's when you have so much confidence in
yourself and what you're doing that you
begin to look for talented people to join
with you in your business and you're not
afraid to talk to the most successful
and talented people you run into.
You become a talent scout vs a recruiter.
When I first started out in this business
I was a recruiter. Everyone I saw or ran
into was a prospect. No matter who
they were or what sort of attitude they
had I was determined to RECRUIT every
single person that I saw or talked to.
Well guys and gals this was a disaster but it
was a very good learning experience
for me.
That was over 12 years ago. I've
certainly come a long way since!
Over the last five years I've learned
a great deal about business and
about how to do this business and
what it takes to really become
successful and it's not just about who's
the best recruiter believe me!
Even those that are recruiting machines
may be successful for a little while up
front and then it fizzles out.
Why?
Well, because they just recruit
anyone they ran into. They talk
and persuade people into joining with
them.....even when these people don't
really want to. In other words they
say yes when they really mean no.
Recruiters talk a lot and usually
don't listen. People are afraid to say
no to them.
Most times people say yes just
to get the recruiter off their back!
So what happens? The majority of
people usually end up quitting because
they didn't have what it takes to
succeed in this business in the
first place. Most times the recruiter
doesn't stick around long enough to
train them or show them HOW to do
the business. He or she is to busy
recruiting their next victim.
The recruiter usually doesn't take
the time to actually get to know
a person or even ask them what
they are interested in or what their
goals are or what sort of talents
they even have. They are to busy
thinking about what THEY want.
Recruiters are interested in getting
another recruit.
The thrill of the sign up is a rush for them.
Most recruiters are usually not very
good trainers or leaders.....they just don't
have time to train because they're
so busy recruiting everyone and anyone
in their path.
Folks if you really want to become
very successful in this business you've
got to develop the habit of becoming
a TALENT SCOUT!
Ok this does take time. You must first
develop yourself as a leader. Hang out with
talented leaders, listen to them, learn
from them, read books, listen to
tapes, get on conference calls...all
of this is very important.
Getting wealthy in this industry very
quickly is a myth. It just doesn't
happen that often folks.
You've got to pay your dues!
All the sacrifice, the time, the
hard work it's taken to develop myself
into a leader and a talent scout has been
well worth it because people are coming
to me now. Some very talented people
are contacting me and I'm constantly
keeping my eyes and ears open for
talented women and men that I would
like to work with and help.
I've gotten to the point now where
I can be very selective in who
I choose to work with.
I've developed into a top talent scout....
looking for the most talented people
I can.
What is talent anyway? Does that
mean they have a Ph.D or are very
successful already? Well, some of
them are.......
But for the most part what I look
for are people that are highly motivated,
people with a winning attitude....I look for
ordinary people that can do ordinary things
extraordinarily well!
Another thing that happens when you
develop your talent is that you won't
be afraid to speak with extremely
successful people. Remember you're a
talent scout not a recruiter. When you
have this attitude these type people will
know it and they will gladly speak with
you because they realize that you are
not out to recruit them.
Will they join you? Maybe, maybe not.
But I think you get the point right?
When you get to this place you will
be absolutely amazed at the people
that start to contact you and the
success you will have when you start
to seek out the right people.
Try being a talent scout not a recruiter
and just watch what happens!
