WEEK 2 - 485 Calls to go

Welcome Linkedin Family, I do have a more in-depth newsletter that you can subscribe to here:

https://therealestrecruiter.beehiiv.com/subscribe?-1300 subscribers after 4 editions and episode 5 drops on Tuesday.

(I feature TA tech, my poll of the week, events, and news stories I'm interested in)

This newsletter is a great way to document this crazy experiment I started a few weeks ago. The goal is to meet with 500 people in my network in 365 days. If you want to book some time you can do it at the end of this newsletter calendar link below.

"Why are you doing this challenge?"

Shout out to Nick Korwin?? that asked me this. It really made me think, Why am I doing this?- I'm not sure whether I had given much thought outside of this would be cool but already I am learning so much from other people in my network. I've already been able to make introductions and have made introductions for business and deeper connections

This week I met with Joe Park , Keith Kellersohn, MSSL, MAnth. G?khan Izzettin Aytekin Darrell Clack Barsha Das and Nick Korwin?? Thanks to all of you for spending time with me.

The best part of this experiment is meeting people across the globe, this week was no different - From India to the Netherlands I had a blast.

My biggest surprise this week was from Barsha Das , she is involved in everything from event planning, real estate, finishing a degree, and mentoring Children in need around her.

I asked her how on earth she managed all of these things and she said she just works hard and focuses on the goals and vision she has. When I was her age, early 20's, I wasn't thinking about anyone but myself. The conversation we had reminded me how rich my network is and to NEVER doubt someone's ability at a young age.

G?khan Izzettin Aytekin and I had a chat about the state of tech recruiting, which is going strong with his clients. He is an avid cold caller but believes that content will play a huge part in recruiting the next generation of talent! This was a big reminder for me that cold calling still works... for now ??

The final surprise was for Darrell Clack who learned I was a fellow Brit! (Kind of, I was born in the UK but have been in the US for 24 years now). We had a great conversation and if you're not following him, you should. He has great content focused on mental health, recruitment, and positivity. I'm looking forward to his content evolving this year too.

There you have it, another week down!!! I only got ghosted once this week and had a few cancellations, but all in all another stellar week.
