Clip from Episode 44: Dan Drozewski – Top Sales Recruiter at Sales Recruiting Firm Treeline:
The first step into that role I would my my biggest piece of advice is you know make sure that it’s something that you want to do first and foremost because you need to be very unselfish to be a leader in an organization for sure. It’s not just about you anymore. You know your your bandwidth is going to be limited so you need to make sure that you are capable of that and you can be pulled in five different directions at once when needed. If you’ve kind of taken that mentally inventory and you’re ready to do that. As far as the question is concerned are you asking if the candidate wants to move up through the ranks through me. And they’re at ABC company and they’re looking to make a move outside of the organization. Is that more where the questions align? I guess that that makes a little bit more sense right. That’s a place where you could help because if they’re internal right they should be able to have those conversations and be able to figure out a path. It gets harder when you’re trying to make that leap across companies right. Sure. Yeah I mean most likely what’s going to happen there is you’re going to have to you’re going to have to join an organization. And I think we’ve talked about this before that promotes internal growth you’re probably going to have to take a lateral move and move your way through the ranks of a company because again you know at your current company you’re known and they may not have a path for you to grow into a manager. But if you’re looking outside your organizations to take that leap you’re an unproven commodity they don’t know who you are yet and you kind of need to prove who you are and work your way through the ranks and let the cream rise to the top so to speak.
