Clip from Episode 44: Dan Drozewski – Top Sales Recruiter at Sales Recruiting Firm Treeline:

I’m a huge proponent of working out and eating right and self-discipline. That all kind of rolls up into one and I apply that to life. I apply that to work. I apply that to my home life. I’m very disciplined and I’ve just carried that or there are lessons that I’ve learned in the gym. And I know it might sound silly to some but it’s just all and whatever. What’s more the whole lesson for me is what ever you believe in it doesn’t need to be the gym or whatever it is. But it’s always doing what needs to be done at the moment that it needs to be done. And sometimes you need to not worry about the short term so much. And the instant gratification because you just you just need to work hard. And the long term benefits will be there. That’s a huge lesson that I’ve learned I learned that very young age. Nice. I’m sure that comes back to it’s just sort of the consistency right. You just got to do the reps you’re not going to see a result five minutes from now it’s exactly where it’s because I’m doing these reps many times a week months from now. This is all going to add up and I’m going to see the results. Absolutely. And I apply that to every aspect of my life.

Super urgent, I’m super competitive. I think if we’re talking about you know candidates and clients I think I’m a pretty good relationship builder with them. And you know I like to build trust on both ends of the on both ends of the desk right because you know I want I think Treeline for us. Our whole philosophy is I’d say we are very Karma centric. So that’s kind of my that’s how I function. So I like to build good relationships I like to build trust and that’s the key to my success right there. Did you say you’re karma centric? Karma centic it’s own kind of word there. I don’t even know if that’s a real word but I believe in doing the right thing. That’s basically what I’m saying. Always doing right by the candidate always doing right by the client.

Number one above all else is focus. And I can elaborate a little bit on that. So you know in life and here in the office there’s a ton of distractions. We have an awesome culture here at Treeline. There’s a lot to be distracted by. So I don’t let it affect me. I focus on the task at hand. I am not the type of person that is in at 7:00 a.m. and leaves at 7 p.m. I’m more of a 9 to 5 guy but you can bet during those hours from 9:00 to 5:00. I’m 100 percent focused on the task at hand and I’m always ready to rock n roll as soon as I come in the office right. I’ve got my coffee in hand. I know I open on my calendar. And you know checking my e-mails and I live and die on my calendar so I’m jumping on appointments right away whether you know whether it’s for a client whether it’s for a candidate and you know I’m ultra focused from from step 1 and then the other number two I would say is I think outside the box I can get a little bit creative. I will kind of question the status quo of hey this is the way we do it. This is what’s successful. And I always kind of look for ways to make it better. Sometimes I fail but you know sometimes I do good or I succeed I should say. And then lastly I’m ultra ultra competitive and I can elaborate on that as well. Actually this week I actually had a colleague who actually passed me on the board for about 10 minutes and I didn’t like it. And then from there you know I put more revenue on the board and I staked my claim as as number one again. But it’s all good natured competition but I’m very competitive with all my colleagues here.

What are the most common misconceptions that the sellers have about the process of working with a recruiter. I think the biggest one is I think they feel like our job is to find them a job which would be inaccurate at the end of the day. My job is to find top tier talent for my clients. That is the number one goal. But at the end of the day you know my allegiance typically is going to fall with the candidate. They’ve only got one resume. And my client is going to fill that seat. Whether it’s you know through us or an internal internal means they’re going to fill that role. But again like I said the biggest thing is is my job is not to find candidates jobs. I can make recommendations to them. I can help them along the way with any advice they need but finding a job is it’s it’s more client based. We’re looking to find them top talent.

The good resume. Doing their research on companies like we talked about right at the beginning here. If you’re looking to further your career if you’re looking to take that next step into a management role or from a business developement rep to a closing role you need to research companies. I think you know working through a recruiter is also key because you know sometimes we can get your foot in the door where you might not be able to get yourself right because we have a relationship with the hiring manager and we can certainly open up doors that you might not be able to open up on your own.

I just keep everything consistent. I make sure that I make myself available. I’ve actually gotten a lot of comments. If somebody reaches out to me on LinkedIn I make sure that I am responding to everybody whether it’s to se t up a call or whether it’s to give them feedback on if they’re fit on a role. A lot of people comment and say hey listen I love the quick response here. You know a lot of times I will inbox a recruiter or an HR person or whatever whoever it is and I will get a response you know if they’re not fit or or whatever. I I want to. It’s my brand. That’s how I look at it. Right. Not only is it too late but it’s me and I want I want to put a positive spin and I want to share that positive light.

I typically ask what advice you would give to somebody that’s just starting out in a sales career today. Be ready to be resilient. Be ready to get knocked down. I liken it to sports right. You know if you let’s talk baseball for a second if you strike out in the first inning and you get your next at bat you’re in the third or fourth inning if you’re if you’re thinking about that strike out or that no that you got in sales then you know you’re not going to get that. You’re not going to get that. Yes or the homerun. Right. You need to be resilient. That is the number one. I can attest to that because I didn’t I did not come from a sales background. I came from a banking background. And you know I learned really quick I learned very quickly that you’re going to hear a lot of nos. You’re going to have you know deals you know what the goal line and they go awry at the last minute for whatever reason. I learned that very quickly and it just all goes back to the to the discipline and just put your head down and keep plugging away.
