Thanks Mike, thanks Brad.

A follow-up thought on attracting talent that I’ve seen play out too many times: A managers may hire A+ players, ready for whatever comes from hiring superior talent; but B managers hire C or worse, afraid of being challenged.

I’ve been a fan of Jim Rohn for years. He always has a way to get under your skin with his words.

This post reminds me of something Trump said. “If management at a job is mediocre then all the excellent people will leave, leaving all the mediocre people behind.”

Thanks for the kind words.

As for the first part of the post, here’s my advice:

In your day to day life you come across great ” sales ” or ” customer service ” people, don’t just pass them by, give them a card and talk more with them later.

I’ve found the best sales/customer service people by observing them at work and telling them to call me on their own time. I then tell them what industry we’re in and let them know if they ever want to seek other employment to call me.

Don’t train sales people, find sales people and hire them. same with customer service employees.
