This evening, I was watching an ESPN program; the program discussion was about confidence, and talent. If an athlete lacks either, the likely hood of them making a career in professional sports is slim.The recruiting world ties closely the professional sports world in these same aspects.
Top Wide Receivers want one one on one coverage against the top cornerbacks, and show what they can do. Arguably the best of all time and certainly while he was playing, Jerry Rice was a player who utilized his talent and confidence to become the NFL’s all-time leading receiver. Today, Detroit Lions wide Receiver, Calvin Johnson is another Wide Receiver who is using a ton of talent and confidence to become one of the league’s best receivers. Obviously, NFL wide receivers must have talent, but it’s the confidence in their abilities that makes some players great.
Great recruiters and salespeople bring confidence to their conversations. Our positions can be a roller coaster ride at times, but top producers fully understand that they offer value their clients and consultants. They face the most rejection in the industry, but adversity doesn’t get in their way. No matter what chair you sit in, recruiters and successful people in general are focused, talented and most of all confident!
