Highlights:
Identifying and Replication Winning Behaviors
Roy is a big believer in understanding what his high-performers are doing, then taking those behaviors and turning them into processes for others to follow. He is prepared to take part in the activity himself to understand it fully, rather than arbitrarily telling a team “use this method” with no justification that it works. He’ll see the processes they are already using and what it yields, and then try his own processes and look at the numbers comparatively. If the new process achieves X in 2 hours, while the existing one took 6 hours to achieve the same outcome, it’s clear which should be followed.
Making Personalization Scalable
Most people don’t think that being human is scalable, and so they turn to automation and AI to get more ‘spray and pay’. According to Roy, that’s not really that effective and they won’t be standing out because it’s so overdone in the current landscape. Roy says leaders need to just be human and personalize recruitment experiences, offering advice on how to make personalisation scalable and overcome those initial objections.
The Importance of Enabling Prospects, Not Just Your Team
Roy discusses the importances of ensuring you equip your champion with all the key details and insight they need to go and sell your product internally. He approaches it by assessing their pain point first, and then showing them how it could be fixed, adopting them as part of his team and enabling them to solve their pain issues by selling the product into their organization.
