“Recruiting is really just a sales process. There's lead generation, there's lead management, and then there's the close.”
“There’s a lot of people who do that sales training, it’s very specific because acquisitions isn’t sales. You’re not selling anything.”
“If somebody is doing what they like doing, there's 34% better performance.”
