You can earn a lot of money in Recruitment, but it’s what you do with that money which determines whether you’ll become wealthy or not.

In this week’s episode of ‘Renegade Recruiter Unleashed’ podcast, I talk to Damion Lupo about how to take control of your money and financial future by taking the money you earn as a Recruitment or Search Business Owners and reinvesting it to build real wealth.

Damian first business at age 11! Now he is the owner of an 8 figure real estate empire, multiple black belter, and sought after financial consultant for high profile private clients.

Over the last quarter century, Damion has started and owned more than 30 different companies including an insurance agency, a precious metals firm, a venture capital company, a financial consulting firm, and more than a dozen real estate investment and development companies. He built a 5-million-dollar Net Worth in his 20's, lost it, and has almost completely rebuilt his wealth in the last 12 months!

During this interview, he’ll be sharing the lessons he learned along the way and the things he wishes someone had told him before he got started!

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll be getting…

• Find out why your Recruitment or Search Business won't make you wealthy (unless you combine it with one thing)
• How to turn your business profits into long-term wealth to secure your financial future
• Hear about Damion’s near death experience while skydiving and what it taught him about himself

“Entrepreneurs must know that businesses fail because they don’t get attention. If you want to succeed and grow your business, your sales revenue and your brand, you must get attention.” – Grant Cardone

I read that quote a few months ago, and it stuck with me…. It’s something I think ALL Recruitment and Search Firm Owners need to understand.

With very few exceptions, no matter what sector you work in. There are businesses out there right now who have an urgent need for your services. Even when the market is quiet, there is always someone with a need.

The problem is, they will NEVER buy from you or your firm!

And it’s not because you’re too expensive,

it’s not because they think your competitors have a better service,

It’s not even because they don’t like you or the way you do things….

It’s because they don’t even know you exist! Pure and simple.

You’re obscure!

And Businesses DIE in obscurity!

In this week's episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast, we talk about how obscurity is killing your Recruitment or Search business, stopping clients from ever buying from you and holding you back from ever reaching your full potential … And most importantly we talk about how to beat it!

For show notes, additional resources and free podcast updates head over to - http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

 

Show Notes:

 

[3:14]

Would you spend thousands of your local currency with somebody that you’ve never heard of?

 

[4:51]

The reason they’re not buying from you is because they don’t know you exist!

 

[6:08]

You can be the best recruiter in the world if your clients have never heard of you, you’re not gonna get the business.

 

[6:51]

If you don’t get the attention, quite frankly you will just disappear.

 

[7:10]

Money follows attention.

 

[8:18]

Whatever you do your gonna piss somebody off!

 

[14:04]

You want to get to the point where your followers are willing to jump through hoops just to work with you

 

[14:13]

You need to get absolutely crystal clear who your ideal client is.

 

[14:36]

You can’t be all things to all people.

 

[19:28]

What’s stopping you from earning the money that you want to earn is that you're obscure. It’s not how good you are at what you’re doing its how well you’re known at what you’re doing.

 

[19:59]

Your ultimate goal should be that everyone in your industry at least knows who you are and what you stand for.

In this week's episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast I interview Stacey Brown Randall.

 

 

 

[2:13]

1443 Minutes in a day and how we use them effectively is very important.

 

[6:33]

And a lot of people are like “oh, you shouldn’t call it a failure!”. Let’s just call a spade a spade. It is what it is.

 

[14:39]

When you operate in a space that’s authentic for you its natural and people, they are naturally attracted to you.

 

[15:33]

I believe if you’re asking for referral’s you’re doing it all wrong.

 

[16:22]

Referral’s come from relationship’s.

 

[16:28]

People do business with people that they know, like and trust.

 

[19:33]

Keeping yourself focused on why you’re doing what you’re doing and the fact that you believe in yourself that you can do it.

 

[23:09]

My failure does not define me at all, anymore.

 

[24:38]

People really do resonate more with your struggles than they do with your successes and I’ve realized with my failure I have valuable information now to share.

 

[30:21]

A lot of times they don’t know where they’re going.

 

[32:26]

What are the pain points? What are the problems that that ideal client has?

In this week's episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' podcast I interview Scott Sillari.

 


[3:28]
Right now there is so much clutter with marketing, with emails, just with communication online that you have to stand out.

[6:30]
Social media is really meant to make that initial connection but you have to bring them from that platform to a phone call or to a interview or to get in front of them.

[9:36]
If you’re on your own out there you need to be working with someone thats gunna help hold you accountable and essentially be a mentor to you.

[11:08]
Don’t let your pride get in the way. Get some help, work with someone thats been down that path.

[14:11]
You need to understand message to market, you need to understand what your market needs are and make sure that you’re creating a message that fulfils those needs.

[15:36]
With your marketing it needs to be personable, people want to connect.

[16:13]
Everybody makes their buying decision based on emotion will then justify it with logic.

[16:56]
The people that are interested right away are gunna come forward. Everyone else is in the pipeline for down the road.

[23:15]
You’re always trying to sell yourself in some way to get something done essentially.

[28:52]
When i look at situations and they make me uncomfortable thats when i know i need to do it.

[33:15]
Its OK if people unsubscribe. You have to allow that, you have to give them the option cause some people are not gunna wanna continue to get that information and thats OK!

You know how frustrating it is when you feel stuck, feel like you aren't getting the results you want, your team isn't performing and/or your passion has gone out?

Jason helps his clients move past hurdles to put the excitement, passion and drive back into their lives and businesses. 

Here's just some of what you're getting...

  • How Jason ended up working with Steve Jobs
  • What Jason learnt from becoming friend switch a recovering addict
  • How to create exceptional relationships with your clients
  • How to plan a best selling book launch and what it can teach you about your Recruitment or Search Business
  • The importance of working on every aspect of your life
  • How Jason made the transition from Robin to Batman 
  • Why defining your ideal client is the first  step to riches as a Recruitment or Search Firm Owner
  • The importance of investing in yourself and your team

Show Notes:

[2:52] It really doesn’t matter where someone is, because these days with Skype and the phone you can reach anyone really anytime.

[10:08] The reason that we’re here on this earth is for connection.

[13:56] If you’re launching a book, you have to do everything exceptionally well in the beginning to get the momentum to move it forward and thats the hard part.

[17:07] You have to meet enough people to know the people that you get along with best, otherwise you're just having people in your life out of default (Meaning you’ve got to have someone there.)

[18:02] Social communication or emotional skill sets are all learned behaviours, so even if you’re an introvert you just have to get out there and start meeting people and you're not born like this you learn all these these things over time.

[19:40] If you put your mind to something you can be way better at doing it than you were before, its just that people don't exercise and flex that muscle.

[21:14] When they were taking leaps of faith and doing new things they weren’t just doing it for the outcome, they were doing it for the experience. They took that experience and pivoted when they didn’t get the outcomes that they wanted to have initially because they learnt from it.

[25:42] The two things that enter peoples heads, is the fear of failure and the fear of rejection.

[29:22] You're not going to get it right overnight.

[30:00] A lot of people just don’t want to work that hard these days and i think thats the key. You have to be willing to roll up your sleeves, do what it takes, work at 10 o’clock at night, Get up at 6? Whatever it is and you just have to be willing to do that.

[30:36] You learn form other people because they’ve gone through the same thing you have.

[37:59] You have to learn from all these different sources and people in order to take the next steps forward and to continue to be at that level.

[39:42] Ultimately in a coaching business its about behavioural change, so the faster can get people to change their behaviours and get success with it the more successful I’m going to be as coach.

[10:06]
The average contingency recruiter will fill between 20-30% of the job orders that they get, that means that 70% of the time that there working there never going to get paid.

[17:48]
You have to make sure you implement things, If you’re starting something you do.

[22:15]
No matter how bad the economy is, people always spend money… But you’ve got to work with he right people.

[25:05]
You can’t be everything to everybody.

[25:10]
If they’re making money they usually don’t quibble on fees.

[25:26]
You can run round in circles by talking to the wrong people.

[25:35]
You’ve got to be prepared to say no to some potential clients and be happy and comfortable walking away because the moment you can take that position its strengthens your negotiation situation. you don’t have to say yes to every client.

[33:05]
Anything in life if you lack confidence you’re not going to do well, in this business if you lack confidence you telegraph it to the clients and candidates and if they don’t feel that your confident in what your doing your not going to get any business.

[33:48]
We all have those moments of self doubt.

[34:22]
You have to look at what you’ve been doing and dissect it and see how you can improve on that because you can spend a lot of time spinning wheels in this business and once you start doing that you can just keep on going down.

[36:52]
You’ve got to make sure your talking to the decision maker when your looking at marketing because if your not you can spend hours, even face to face meetings or even an email meeting to the person that has no authority.

[37:55]
Its no good spending an hour or two of your time if they can not give you the green light.

[46:11]

There’s nothing worse than phoning a client or a prospected client or someone that you know and they just say, well its been a year since i spoke to you and I’ve hired somebody from X,Y,Z company.

In this weeks episode of the ‘Renegade Recruiter Unleashed’ we talk about 5 of the biggest mistakes that Recruitment And Search Firms can make with their website and how to learn and grow by understand where your going wrong. It's very easy to pay for a shiny new website but it generating leads is a must and a pretty homepage won't always do so...…For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources head over to:http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

 

[1:33]
Mistake number one is trusting their web designer.

[1:59]
Some of your competitors right now are generating between 20-100 leads a month just from their website.

[2:46]
Your web designer has a skill and that is building websites.

[2:53]
You need to be the one that tells them what it is you want to see on your website.

[3:37]
Far to many recruitment and search firm owners really i guess don’t have a clue what it takes to have a website that actually generates you leads and actually attracts business and so they trust everything to their web designer.

[4:44]
That is one of the biggest mistakes that recruitment and search firms make on their website, they talk all about themselves.

[4:50]
Here’s a fact. Your clients couldn’t give two shits about you.

[4:57]
When your potential clients come to your website here’s what they want to know…What can you do for them!

[5:16]
Talk to them about their problems and how you will help them solve their problems. There’s a massive difference.

[5:48]
All your clients really care about are themselves, their problems and how to fix them.

[7:15]
Mistake number three. Not being clear on your website who you are targeting.

[8:27]
The narrower your niche the broader your appeal!

[8:48]
You can’t be good at everything. Make it absolutely clear who your target market is and deliberately repel those that your not interested in.

[9:25]
Were in the problem solving buisness.

[9:30]
You need to be very clear when someone hits your website what problem it is you help solve, you need to make a big promise and you do that by having a headline.

[10:28]
A website that doesn’t have a clear purpose.

[11:11]
When you’ve got that purpose, you’ve got that clarity and you can communicate that effectively then to your potential clients and potential candidates.

[12:31]
There should be a clear next step that you want the potential clients to take.

[13:33]
Most people have never even heard of your company or heard of your website and you haven’t given them any reason to go to your website.

[15:26]
Even if your not making the first 4 mistakes that we talked about if no-one sees your website, if your not actively sending people to see it then it doesn’t really matter.

In this weeks episode of the ‘Renegade Recruiter Unleashed’ we talk about standing out from the crowd. Are you happy being "Average Joe", "Mr Mediocre" or "Mrs Vanilla"? I didn't think so! We will cover how you can take your Recruitment or Search Firm Business to the next level through Relentless marketing, Violating industry norms, Expressing your personality and more...
… For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources head over to:http://therenegaderecruiter.com/


[1:51]
In English speaking countries there’s approximately 80,000 - 90,000 recruiters.

[2:11]
If you can’t stand out from the crowd you’re just gunna seem like any other recruiter.

[2:21]
You have to be able to convince your clients that you’re not only different from very other recruitment or search firm but also better too.

[2:57]
So some things that you must start doing from today if you want to stand out from he crowd and by the way, it doesn’t include making your prices the lowest thing out there.

[3:17]
Step one. You’ve got to do some marketing.

[3:28]
The top performers are using 40-50 different ways of getting the message out there. One of the reasons you’re being ignored right now is cause your obscure, people haven’t even heard of you.

[3:42]
You’ve got to add your personality to your marketing because thats what people engage with.

[4:03]
What your find a lot of recruitment and search firm owners do they’re almost to scared to be themselves because they’re scared that they’re upset someone, they’re scared that someone won’t like them and in doing so what actually happens is they come across vanilla, they come across boring and they come across like every other recruitment and search firm out there so putting your personality in your marketing is the best thing that you can do.

[5:09]
You are gunna piss some people off, but the moment you try to be all things to all people you end up being nothing to nobody. You can’t be all things to all people whatever you do.

[5:49]
Violate that we call “the industry norms”.

[6:16]
20% of recruitment and search firms have 80% of the market.

[6:35]
Most recruiters will go out of business within the first 5 years of being in buisness.

[7:55]
Success leave clues, but also so does failure.

[7:58]
If you do what someone else is doing you’re gunna end up with pretty much the same results or at least very similar results.

[9:12]
Do you really want to be mediocre? Would you want your kids to say you’re a mediocre parent or your partner to say your a mediocre lover? Im sure you wouldn’t.

[10:17]
You’ve got to be absolutely relentless in your marketing and no stopping.

[11:43]
You could be the best in the industry, unless you have the ability to get that message out to the people in your sector so they know it and they believe it aswell then it all counts for nothing.

[12:53]
What happens with a lot of recruiters is they go through periods of marketing relentlessly and its usually when they haven’t got any clients.

Mar 26, 2016

In this weeks episode of the ‘Renegade Recruiter Unleashed’ we talk about the difference between being the hired help and the paid expert…

Being positioned one way means you end up being mistreated by clients, overworked and underpaid… And being positioned the other way means you get to charge premium prices, work with the best clients and work with people who truly appreciate the value of what you do…

For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources head over to:http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

[2:29]
Positioning is basically how you view yourself in the market and how your competitors view you and how your clients and candidates view you in the market.

[2:58]
There is really 2 ways that you can viewed or positioned. You can be positioned as what we call #1 The hired help or #2 The paid expert.

[3:15]
Its like the difference between hiring a interior designer or a painter and decorator, if you think about it both essentially do very much the same thing.

[4:20]
The hired help gets told what to do and when to do it. The paid expert is a leader and they work with clients on their terms.

[5:13]
The mistake that i think a lot of people make is that they believe there clients want the hired help rather than the expert and intact ill even go as far to say that clients sometimes even think they want this aswell. The truth is they don’t.

[5:34]
Most people are walking around with an umbilical cord in hand looking for a new place to plug it in.

[8:10]
The problem is perception. Are you perceived as and expert by your potential clients?

[8:18]
It is possible to know everything there is to know about a certain subject.

[9:44]
If what you’ve done so far hasn’t worked, working with the hired help why do you think its going to work again.

[10:35]
There’s less resistance then from your client when you’re perceived as the expert.

[11:01]
One way of having authority status is by being and educator, and advocate for your clients.

[12:11]
Having a well defied niche.

[14:55]
Make an effort to write articles to attend to your area of expertise.

[19:04]
When you become a speaker, in seminars or panels its a great way to position yourself as an authority.

[20:56]
Getting interviews on local radio shows are extremely effective.

[22:30]
Your clients are more likely to trust you because you’re an author of a book because your a public speaker, because they’ve herd your podcast.

[23:21]
All these things combined help you get perceived as an expert.

[24:15]
The key to your success as a recruitment or search firm owner is two fold really, marketing and mindset.

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter Unleashed' we talk about the Netflix original series 'House of Cards', After attracting a huge following and even winning a Golden Globe we will take a look at the main character, focusing on 10 things you can learn and apply to your Recruitment or Search Firm Business from Francis J. "Frank" Underwood Quotes.. For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources head over to: http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

 

 

[3:02]
#1 “If you don’t like how the table is set turn over the table.”

[3:10]
There are plenty of rules we have to live by but one isn’t to sit by and just let things happen to you. If you don’t like they way things are right now change it right now!

[4:29]
Theres no room for complaining. there’s no point, there’s no use, there’s no benefit to it.

[4:47]
#2 “For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain the can be no mercy. There is but one rule, hunt or be hunted.”

[5:02]
If you don’t want to be thrown under the bus for things you have to be one step ahead.

[5:29]
Don’t compete with your competitors, dominate them.

[6:07]
You need to be constantly going out there and hunting for new clients, hunting for new business.

[6:37]
The average consultant will get maybe one, two leads a week in.

[7:14]
#3 “The nature of promises Linda is that they remain immune to change in circumstances.”

[7:50]
Unless its unthinkable its imperative you stay true to your word.

[8:49]
The most important relationship that you have right now is the relationship that you have with yourself.

[12:47]
#4 “There is no better way to overpower a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth.”

[12:57]
The truth will always overpower doubt. So know your facts.

[14:41]
If a client gives you a glowing testimonial about how great you are there less likely to leave you and go work with your competitors.

[15:22]
#5 “Appeal to the heart not to the brain.”

[15:28]
All buying decisions are made based on emotion and justified with logic.

[18:13]
As human beings were motivated by one of two things, to avoid pain and gain pleasure.

[19:24]
Tap into your clients emotions to get them to make a decision.

[19:32]
#6 “From this moment on you are a rock. You absorb nothing, You say nothing and nothing breaks you.”

[19:53]
Sometimes its better to be a fly on the wall.

[20:14]
There are over a hundred different ways the you as a recruitment or search firm owner can generate leads. Most recruiters only know three or four.

[20:54]
If you haven’t pissed somebody off by 11o’clock in the morning then your not doing sufficient marketing.

[21:55]
The only thing that you can really measure in your business is results.

[23:04]
#7 “To improve is to change, To perfect is to change often.”

[23:25]
Being static isn’t the way to achieve anything.

[25:15]
#8 “There are two types of vice presidents. Doormats and Matadors. Which do you think i intend to be.”

[26:13]
#9 “I wouldn’t be sitting here if i wanted a shoulder to cry on.”

[26:32]
You must accept 100% responsibility for absolutely everything in your life.

[27:32]
#10 “Even Achilles was only as strong as his heel.”

[27:39]
Don’t let your weakest point be your downfall, whatever it may be. Work at it so it doesn’t become an easy target.

Mar 12, 2016

In this weeks episode of the 'Renegade Recruiter' Podcast we talk about growing your recruitment or search firm buisness by applying some strategies used by Disney. Do you want to increase leads and improve your personal earnings? Of course you do! Today we will cover 4 lessons used and proved to work right now by Disneyland. For show notes, podcast updates and additional resources head over to: http://therenegaderecruiter.com/

 

[3:14]
There aren’t many places in the world that can boast a bigger average spend per person than vegas… but disney can!

[4:27]
If Disney can set a minimum criteria for you to ride in their teacups why don’t you set a minimum criteria for your clients too?

[5:15]
You do not have to work with everyone.

[5:24]
You should have a minimum criteria that your potential clients must meet before you even consider them as fit for your business.

[5:50]
Your business. Your rules.

[6:08]
The industry norm for contingency recruiters filling roles is 30%.

[6:20]
What that does mean is that 60% of the time you are working you will never ever get payed for it.

[7:00]
Whats your minimum criteria?

[7:21]
If your not turning clients away, if you’ve got no standards then your bound to have some bad clients.

[7:54]
Lesson number one, have some criteria and decide who you will work with and also who you won’t work with.

[11:37]
Just go and test it!

[14:50]
If you haven’t got a cue of people waiting to talk to you thats costing you millions in lost revenue.

[15:10]
Market aggressively. Position yourself as a leader.

[17:06]
Most recruitment and search firm owners spend most of there time and energy hunting and searching for new buisness and looking for new clients.

[17:28]
It is 100 times easier to get someone who’s already spent money with you to spend more.

[18:55]
You should have a VIP or a premium offering in your buisness.

[20:31]
Every time that you have a buisness development meeting with a potential client ask them for the buisness.
