THE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN

If you’re looking to short circuit the path to success when most recruiters are running scared, then I can show you how.

Here’s the deal:

Over 5 years ago, I first coined the term “Leadership Call” as my unique take on the classic “flip call” that has been a staple of recruiting training for decades.

I dare say that it’s the most powerful call you can make in the executive recruitment game, ESPECIALLY when the market starts getting tight.

…and if you’re not feeling the market tighten, you will soon.

Properly executive leadership calls are a huge opportunity for your practice:


1) Build a strong relationship with leaders for years to come

2) Learn the psychological makeup of your audience

3) Screen for top-level candidates to market (in our Modern MPC Campaign progam for example)

4) Earn their trust

5) Flip a switch in their head, where YOU and YOUR FIRM are the prize

When the market is strong, and job orders are plentiful, hiring managers are notoriously hard to reach. They don’t have time to talk to every Tom, Dick, and Harry recruiter that comes a-callin’.

But when the economy falters, and you need to make some serious headway into the market fast, a properly executive leadership call is bar-none the best way to easily book appointments with high-level decision-makers, many of whom would never have given you the time of day before.

So if you aren’t filling your calendar with leadership calls, you’re missing a huge opportunity to plant seeds for when the market comes roaring back.

First, let’s talk about the cringe-worthy “flip call.”

THE “FLIP CALL”


The bait and switch flip call has been a staple in the recruiting training world for decades. If you’re not familiar with the term, here is how they are taught:

Step #1: Find a job posting online

Step #2: Call a leadership candidate, PRETENDING this is a job for your client

(I swear, this is actual advice given)

Step #3: Say this: “Gosh Mr Prospect, your company actually sounds like a great place to work. I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask, but do you use recruiters there?”

If this was cringy to even read, can you imagine how bad this bait and switch tactic looks to the leaders you want to build a relationship with?

This, my friends, is one of the many reasons why our industry has a bad name, BECAUSE of these bait and switch tactics commonly taught. At the end of the day, if you’re so desperate to find a reason to call a decision-maker, you have to massively rethink the value that you’re providing on these calls to begin with.

That’s why I’m excited to show you our Leadership Campaign program.

HERE’S WHAT’S INSIDE

In this extremely actionable training program, I’m going to show you exactly how to book as many as 20-30 of these calls with decision-makers in your niche every single week.

AND, I’ll be showing you how to do so WITHOUT using cheap bait and switch tactics.

Not only that, but I’m also going to be showing you how to run these calls, with scripts, frameworks, and templates that show the entire process from “A” all the way to “Landed a New Client.”

BUT…what I’m most excited is the Inception Script. This is a script that I’ve honed over many years, and that hundreds of recruiters have tested out.

Using this one-minute script at the beginning of every single leadership call you make, you will completely eliminate the need to bait and switch anybody, AND it will make locking in a top-performing leader as an MPC that you can market super-easy, it will make going for the business even easier.

Best part is, I’m not putting the training out as a live program, Instead, you can watch this at your leisure at any time, from the convenience of your smart phone or desktop.

All the video lessons are actionable and deadly effective. You can start implementing these advanced tactics immediately.


THE INVESTMENT?

We’ve Worked With Over 400 Badass Firms Around The World. Here’s What Some Of Their Founders Have To Say:

Brian Polansky: Founder | Top Value Recruitment

I have never had anyone speak to me indirectly (through his marketing) in a way where they understand my world and my struggles more than David.


It was obvious. This guy gets it. He has lived it. Breathed it. Been successful at it…and now taught my peers how to turn the game on its head.


David’s program was the single greatest professional investment I have ever made.


I had my best 6 months in business ever…during covid. Because of his tutelage.


He has a model for success, he genuinely cares, and he is there to help.

Hanna Prinsloo: Founder | Stratsource

David is simply an amazing coach and teacher. I have learned so much on his Accelerator course, it has sharpened my skills in so many more ways than I could ever imagine.

His generous spirit, extraordinary knowledge, original approach – it is all amazing and fun! And you get the training from the frontlines, from someone who is in the business daily, testing, adjusting, growing. I found that so valuable, because all my past trainers didn’t work ‘in’ the business any longer; so there was a certain disconnect with what happens in the field every day. With David it’s always cutting edge, nothing stale here!

Josh Matthews: Founder | Endeavor Staffing

I’d already had a 20-year career in recruiting and staffing and a pretty darn good one at that. But I wanted to have a significant change in how I actually approached business and find out ways that I could have a small company but be able to have the reach of a much larger company.


And with his guidance, training, his program and the lighthouse methodology, I’ve been able to do just that. A lot of people can say this, but I don’t even make sales calls anymore, and I’m busy as I want to be. If you’re going to have a coach…I can’t think of anyone better than David Stephen Patterson.


It’s been the best decision I’ve made in my career.

Karen Sturgeon: President | KLA Industries

David is the most hands-on coach and recruiter trainer I have ever worked with. He has a deep understanding of the most up to date marketing tools and processes and applied it to the Executive Search Business, which is in dire need of an overhaul.


I have used his many suggestions to update my tired systems and processes, making recruiting a whole lot more enjoyable and profitable!


Engaging, and a very personable personality, available, and accessible is what keeps me coming back!

Nicolas Greppo: Founder | Le Recruteur Data

David is both an outstanding coach and one of the best players in our industry. …let me tell you a bit about the results.


The very first time I pitched my higher level offer, I got the equivalent of over 120,000 euros worth of exclusive retained search. And now, as we speak, I never work weekends, I only work exclusives. And I never discount my fees.


And beyond that, it’s such a peace of mind to realize that you’re not playing in the same league anymore. I mean, I don’t want to sound arrogant, but it’s really a change of paradigm in terms of how you position yourself and how you deliver your services to your clients and the value that you bring to your clients and also the candidates you work with.

Jay Veniard: CEO | Ventech Search

…this program is a no brainer. It’s changed my business. It’s changed the way that I approach recruiting and it changes the way that both hiring managers and candidates approach me.


So I am now fully completed with the program and I am sitting on right now, just from people that have contacted me through the marketing efforts that DSP taught me, I’m sitting on just under $300,000 in active searches.


This is a game changer. And if you want to change the game, if you want to change the way you approach recruiting and have a much better time, more stable income, more stable cash coming in, this is the way to go.

Laura Gonzalez: Founder | CDM Search

I would highly recommend David to anyone who believes, as I do, that digital marketing is the way to take your business to the next level.


He is not only an amazing recruiter, but also an incredible coach and mentor – I can honestly say that I got a lot more than what I signed up.


David not only shares his expertise in marketing but also many incredible tools that I already started using and know will continue to use.


He is a genuine and authentic guy who goes above and beyond to help and share his knowledge – I truly enjoy the coaching and look forward to our weekly group calls, they are not only full of knowledge but also funny and engaging! Without a doubt he is the best!

Erin Monahan: Founder | EFM Recruiting

David is a Master Recruiter coach!


He really is an expert in so many areas and is willing to share all of his knowledge. I have no idea how he has all of his energy or time, it’s pretty mindblowing.


The money I spent on the program, I have received tenfold back in my business already. I have learned so much in terms of marketing and sales especially – he knows every tool out there you could possibly know for your business and how to make it better. There is so much content in this program I struggle to finish it all, but it is so helpful. It is like graduate school for Recruiters.


I almost don’t want to get the secret out to other Recruiters in the business and keep it to myself but he has done so much for me already I have to do something back for him!
