What is the best industry to hire people from? How can we create a steady supply of talented recruits to our business? On this episode, Dan Holt shares on developing high levels of accountability, hiring strategically, and staying on track with goals.

Takeaways + Tactics

• Goal setting and accountability: If you don\u2019t set a floor and a minimum expectation that people commit to never to drop below, they will eventually get off track.
• Set goals for talent conversations. If we can have 100 conversations a year, we can find at least one talented person. If 4 people do that, that\u2019s 400 conversations and 4 new talented hires.
• Pharmaceutical salespeople are great for careers in real estate because they do a lot of \xa0personality background analysis, and are typically high \u201cI\u201d and high \u201cD\u201d, and results-driven.

At the start of the show, Dan shared on his team structure including the struggles they\u2019ve had with listing coordinators and communication, and how they fixed them. Next we talked about the \xa0411 weekly meeting they do with agents, and how it helps them. We also discussed one of the best ways to make sure people reach and stay on their goals.

We also discussed:

• Why Dan hires from outside the industry and why the pharmaceutical sales industry is great to hire from

• How Dan\u2019s team hires systematically and intentionally

• How to earn more freedom through productivity

When we set goals according to someone\u2019s ability to reach a ceiling, we make it more likely that they\u2019ll just fall behind, because any action below the goal won\u2019t be excellent, just very good. This easily kills motivation. It\u2019s more effective for us to create a minimum \u201cfloor\u201d that people shouldn\u2019t drop below. This is a type of accountability that drives people and allows us to see the fruits of our investment in them.
