Talent Instinct with Chantal Penny: 6 My Life of Curiosity, Questions & Closing
Manage episode 407273398 series 3562214
The ‘Talent Instinct’ podcast episode 6 by Chantal Penny is an electrifying space where we dive into how construction business owners revamp their hunt for top-tier talent by ‘instinctivizing’ your efforts. In this episode I share my experience in sales, business and recruitment and how I’ve developed the winning combination for success. This includes being curious, adaptable, taking advice, watching and learning. From a diverse and wide exposure in living life, observing others and my surroundings that has ended up giving me a great hit rate with candidates. From real estate, B2B, mining recruiting where I had 24 hours to make placements and a life of sales, closing, closing and closing. I share on what makes people tick, some tricks of the trade, developing the gift of the gab and asking the right questions that people can’t hide from. Also how to develop trust for people to share the good, the bad and the ugly.
Let’s face it, making the right hire for your business has never been more paramount. The stakes of the wrong hire can disrupt performance, profit, culture and succession planning. Talent Instinct isn’t about playing safe, it’s about conquering with calculated instinct.
