Shownotes Transcript

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS

  • Ask why the candidate is leaving their current job and why they want to join yours. This assesses their storytelling ability, crucial for sales.

  • Once you want to hire someone, sell them on your company but also highlight potential downsides. This builds trust and sets realistic expectations.

  • If unsure about a hire, don't proceed. Second-guessing can lead to issues and regret.

  • Offer positions without negotiating compensation. Emphasize performance-based pay; top earners prove it on the leaderboard.
