From An Alarm Clock Invention to Leading Thousands of People ft. Tommy Burns
from Revenue from Retention · host Celina Eklund
Did you know that you never get a second chance at a first impression? According to the US Department of Labor, a bad hire can cost a company up to 30% of that employee's salary. When it comes to landing your next big opportunity, it's not just about who you are, but how you're perceived. On today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Tommy Burns, founder and CEO of L'Attitude Recruiting. With over a decade in talent acquisition and more than 2,000 interviews under his belt, Tommy has mastered the art of hiring and knows exactly what companies are looking for in their next star employee. He'll share insights on what qualities make candidates stand out, how companies can build cultures that attract and retain top performers, and why sometimes the most successful people in sales are those who've been told "you can't" their entire lives. So let's reshape the game and craft the image that you want the world to see. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Overcoming Challenges: Born with a serious immune disorder, Tommy used medical limitations as motivation rather than obstacles. Finding His Path: Discovered sales recruiting as a perfect fit that minimized health risks while using his people skills. What Makes Great Salespeople: Looks for curiosity, confidence, and resilience in candidates who can be their authentic selves. Leadership Approach: Builds strong company culture, stays coachable, and values continuous learning. Staying Motivated: Focuses on knowing your "why," practicing daily gratitude, and remembering your journey. ⭐️CONNECT WITH TOMMY ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: LATTRINC ▶︎ LINKEDIN: TOMMY BURNS ▶︎ WEBSITE: L'ATTITUDE RECRUITING ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected] CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!
