Find and Attract
“Men wanted for hazardous journey.
Small wages, bitter cold, long months of
complete darkness.”
This ad was placed in the early 1900’s by explorer Ernest Shackleton as he was looking for men to help him discover the South Pole. The
ad drew more than 5000 brave candidates.
106
Find and Attract
“Men wanted for hazardous journey.
Small wages, bitter cold, long months of
complete darkness.”
The wording in our ads and emails should be worded in a way that attracts the type of person we are looking for and repels the wrong.
107
Find and AttractA missionary society wrote to
David Livingstone deep in the
heart of Africa and asked, “Have
you found a good road to where
you are? If so, we want to know
how to send other people to help
you.” Livingstone wrote back, “If you
have people who will come only
if they know there is a good
road, I don’t want them. I want
people who will come if there is
no road at all.

Take action to find great people when you don’t need team

Newton’s Law - people leave/get fired at the most inconvenient times.

When our team is full, we have a tendency to stop focusing on recruiting. Don’t fill your team with good players. Keep looking

Dr. Antonio Damasio -
Emotion is critical to

Developing your Interviewing Skills
123
Too much emotion clouds logic.
Developing your Interviewing Skills
124
Critical balance between logic and emotion
Developing your Interviewing Skills
125
Developing your Interviewing Skills
The solution - interviewing skills using prepared questions that measure specific traits and skills.
126
Talking about ourselves causes us to like others
• Listen 80%, talk 20%. • Keep your emotions in neutral - you’ll get
the real candidate.• Don’t tell personal stories.• Don’t agree with the candidate.
Developing your Interviewing Skills
What causes us to like other people?
127
Developing your Interviewing Skills
•Step out of the “socializing” zone and into the “interviewing” zone.
•Take off your “Sales” hat and put on your “Selection” hat.
128
The best shine, the worst sweat. Don’t Rescue
129
Developing your Interviewing Skills
A thorough interview process attracts strong candidates and repels weak candidates.
• Follow the system as written.• Ask for specific examples. • Ask the questions as written. If the candidate
does not understand the question, tell them to answer based on their understanding.
• Ask the questions in order. • If candidate rambles, interrupt and ask, “What
was my question.”130
“We are looking at several candidates, and we will consider your information as we make our decision.”
If a candidate asks, “How did I do?”
Or if you do not wish to hire the candidate, say ...
131
More interview tips
Do not paint an unrealistic picture of the job and the challenges.
132
More interview tips
Remember - selling is more stressful than the interview. If candidates can’t handle the interview, they will not perform well under the stress of a sales job.
