Helping job seekers stop guessing and start getting interviews | Free Trial: The No-BS Job Search Playbook

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

Job seekers suck at searching for jobs.

But I don’t blame the candidate.

It’s not their fault.

Schools failed them. Nobody taught them the right way to do it.

That’s why I built the No-BS Job Search Playbook.

Free trial. No credit card required.

@thescottleese The question on everyone's mind is: Will you wear your "Pray for Surf" hat or a black hat to the reunion. j/k

I've watched 500 founders torch 400k hiring a Sales VP too early. Congrats on the 400k mistake.
You don't need a leader. yet You need a motion.
Sell it yourself. Build the playbook. Prove it with 1-2 reps. Then hire to scale. Stop outsourcing the thing only you can do early on.

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

Yes and....for a great double down on this, read "The Dip" by Seth Godin...

[Scott Leese @thescottleese]

One of the healthiest things you can do is leave sooner.

Most people stay too long in things that already ended because walking away feels harder than holding on.

Deep down, you usually know when something is over… you just keep hoping it will change.

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

There's no good way to lay people off. Leaders still get blasted and criticized.

It's like breaking up with someone.

But there are definitely worse ways than others...

Zoominfo laid off 20% of workforce this morning. Some of whom were told via text and one of whom was a pto.

Classy.

BREAKING: The average price for a gallon of gas in the US rises to $4.56, now up +66% since December.

@thescottleese If people didn't like buying $9 coffees (for whatever reason they justify in their own minds), we'd all be driving Toyota Corollas and not Cybertrucks and BMWs.

"Can you just show me the demo?"

Every AE hears this request.

Most say yes immediately because they're excited someone wants to see the product.

What that question actually signals is that the buyer doesn't yet trust you understand their problem well enough to make the demo worth their time.

"Show me the demo" is code for "I don't believe you have anything specific to say to me yet."

The right response isn't to refuse.

It's to earn it: "Absolutely. I want to make sure we focus on what matters most for you, so can I ask two quick questions first?"

Two questions.

Then the best demo they've ever seen.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

There's a lot of advice out there to "not be too hard on yourself," but look around...

You see entitlement, bad work ethic, poor treatment of others, rudeness, blame, etc..

More people should clearly be *harder* on themselves.

@Codie_Sanchez Think for you? Bad move.

Think WITH you? Better move.

@dklineii You'd think that leaders making $600k+ mistakes at a time would want to improve their mis-hire rate.

That's why I created the Sales Leader's Interviewing & Hiring Bundle

A single bad hire is your failure. Are you going to finally do something about it?

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

@dklineii Poor leaders "know good talent when they see it" but never track their mis-hire rates. It's usually 50/50.

As a result, every mis-hire costs 3-5x salary.

It gets more and more expensive with more senior hires but even an AE mis-hire will cost your company $600k+

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

@dklineii It's tough to "make" people care about anything, would you agree?

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

@dklineii How do I motivate them to care about the game I'm playing?

[Kevin Gaither @KevinSGaither]

@MarkCCrowley personally, I think the concept of W-2 jobs and a “work week" is gonna be turned on its head in the next 18 months. What do you think?

That’s just a gut feeling based on no research other than seeing where artificial intelligence is taking us.
