How Gritty Are You?
I recently talked to a staffing agency about the importance of being gritty.
Grit is about tenacity, resilience, and a willingness to keep pushing through despite obstacles and our own natural inclination to take the easy way out.
Staffing recruiters, like most salespeople (and who isn't in sales?) need to be gritty in the face of rejection, radio silence, ghosting, and, even worse, angry clients.
It's what allows them to meet more people, make more referrals, and close more deals.
And live up to their mission of improving the lives of employers and employees by making the connections that grow businesses and provide opportunities (not their exact mission, but my take.)

Stay gritty.
Stay tenacious.
Make that call.
Follow through.
Remember, every "yes" is on the other side of "no."
The more "no's" you accumulate, the more yesses you will hear.
Ch-ching!
