Podcasts about Top Talent

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, and most underused, tools in recruiting: events and masterminds. Not the big splashy hotel-ballroom kind. I'm talking about strategic, intimate gatherings that position you as a leader, not a recruiter. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to host the kind of experience that attracts high-level talent without ever pitching your opportunity. You'll learn how to move from chasing candidates to curating conversations that build trust, momentum, and long-term recruiting wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The overlooked power of events and masterminds in modern recruiting. [01:00] Why Pitches Fall Flat – Top talent doesn't want another comp plan meeting. They want meaningful conversation. [01:30] Step 1: Solve a Real Problem – Create a topic around what producers actually care about: margin compression, referrals, personal brand, burnout, AI tools. [02:30] Step 2: Invite Strategically – Avoid salesy language. Use this: “No pitch. Just great conversation with people who are growing.” [03:30] Step 3: Facilitate Like a Pro – You don't need to be the expert. Ask great questions, spotlight others, and guide the room. [04:30] The Follow-Up Strategy – After the event, send a resource or personalized note that connects to what they shared. [05:00] Real Story – How one client hosted a 6-person breakfast that led to a recruit texting her days later asking for a conversation, without ever mentioning her company. [05:30] Final Challenge – Build a mastermind in the next 30 days. Make it meaningful. Let value open the recruiting door. Key Takeaways Stop Pitching. Start Curating. – Recruiting isn't about features. It's about creating spaces where people want to belong. Solve Real Problems – When you focus on what producers are struggling with, they'll lean in. Be the Host, Not the Hero – Great facilitators create rooms others want to return to. Recruit Without Recruiting – Share resources. Follow up with intention. Lead the relationship. Events Build Trust at Scale – You're not chasing people. You're inviting them into a conversation worth joining. If you want to win the top 20%, stop sounding like every other recruiter. Lead something real. Build something valuable. And create rooms where leaders want to sit. Want help building your first mastermind or recruiting event?

Let's flip the script. If you're building a team inside a local or regional brand without the flashy pitch deck or name recognition, you're not at a disadvantage—you're in a position of power. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to position yourself not in spite of your size, but because of it. Top producers today aren't just looking for big names—they're looking for trust, access, authenticity, and vision. This is your blueprint for turning “small” into elite and building a boutique recruiting brand that wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The big question for small shops: How do I compete with the big brands for top talent? [01:00] The False Belief – Why “smaller” doesn't mean “weaker”—it means you have a unique recruiting edge. [01:30] Own Your Positioning – Don't apologize for being boutique—embrace it with posture and pride. [02:00] Shift the Frame – You're not small, you're selective. Not under-resourced, but customized and high-touch. [02:30] Lead with Vision, Not Features – Features don't move people—vision, identity, and belief do. [03:30] Sell the Why – Be the leader who shows up with clarity and conviction, not a generic pitch. [04:00] Agility and Access – Big companies move slow. You move fast. Talk about your speed, flexibility, and personal touch. [04:30] Customization Is King – You're not templated. You co-create support and systems around each individual. [05:00] The Greatest Asset: You – Your leadership, coaching, and mentorship are what sets you apart. Own it. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your language. Are you playing underdog, or owning the boutique high-performance brand you are? Key Takeaways Posture Matters – Stop competing on features. Compete with belief, vision, and leadership. You're Not Small, You're Specialized – Top talent wants voice, trust, and agility—not red tape. Build Around the Individual – Your advantage is flexibility. Co-create solutions, don't cookie-cut them. Lead with Identity – Share your why. Share your leadership philosophy. That's what people follow. Stay in Your Lane – Don't try to out-tech or out-brand. Win with intimacy, access, and personal connection. You don't need a national name or a big checkbook to attract elite talent. You just need clarity on who you are, confidence in what you bring, and the courage to lead with conviction. Want help crafting your boutique recruiting message?

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Mike Earnest from Wiz to discuss the critical topic of retaining top sales talent.

Show, Elizabeth Lytle sits down with Brian Alexander to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the contracting industry—hiring and retaining top talent. Brian shares expert strategies on building a strong team, reducing turnover, and making the right leadership hires to drive business growth. Whether you're struggling with high sales team churn or looking to add key leadership roles, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you scale effectively.Key Takeaways:

It's essentially impossible for financial advisors to build top practices by themselves. You've got to surround yourself with the right people, and put them in the right roles, to truly elevate your business. That goes double if your goal is to build a world-class advisory business and reach the pinnacle of financial advisor success. You surely don't need me to tell you how difficult it can be to hire, train, motivate and retain great people. But it's probably helpful to understand why the process can be so tough—and, more important, how you can take specific action steps to create a “dream team” of talent that can help bring your practice to a higher level of success than you may have ever thought possible. With that in mind, we asked Kirk Hulett for his best advice. For more than three decades, Kirk has guided elite financial professionals to transform their advisory teams into high-performance engines that drive 58% more revenue than traditional solo models.
