hey my name is russell brunson and i
00:01
want to welcome you to my channel now
00:02
typically i talk about entrepreneurs and
00:04
how to scale companies but
00:05
today i want to talk about how you can
00:07
actually land your dream job
00:08
or how to get the attention of somebody
00:10
you want to work with or for
00:12
it works for connecting with anybody so
00:13
use it as you will and to explain this
00:15
i’m going to actually
00:16
show you examples of people who work
00:18
here at clickfunnels today
00:19
who did the things i’m going to be
00:20
showing you
00:25
so like i said my name is russell and i
00:27
own a company called clickfunnels but
00:29
when i got started we had just
00:30
three of us six years later we have over
00:33
450 full-time employees
00:35
which is kind of crazy so because of
00:37
that people are always asking me how do
00:38
i get a job with you
00:40
we’ve dealt with tons of applications
00:42
traditional resume drop-offs or mail-ins
00:44
we’ve had a lot of creepy people
00:46
do a lot of super creepy stuff all
00:48
trying to get that coveted job now i
00:50
understand there are a few that have
00:51
done it right and honestly if you do it
00:53
right
00:53
it’s kind of an art form and the ones i
00:55
want to share with you today are ones
00:56
that almost
00:57
any employer anyone who’s awesome would
00:59
appreciate and
01:00
love to have you do to actually land the
01:02
dream job with them all right number one
01:04
be a fan first now by fan i don’t mean
01:07
stalker there is a difference don’t just
01:08
show up at the front door
01:10
don’t send them weird gifts in the mail
01:11
well you can send cool gifts just not
01:13
the weird ones it’s amazing and creepy
01:15
a good example of this is stephen larson
01:17
now steven was a huge clickfunnels fan
01:19
he read the books he listened to
01:20
podcasts he consumed all the information
01:22
he watched the videos and when we did
01:23
our big funnel hacking live event he
01:25
knew that this was the thing he needed
01:26
to do
01:27
to get in front of me to get a job now
01:29
unfortunately for him he didn’t have the
01:30
actual money he needed to fly to san
01:32
diego to get the airplanes the hotels
01:34
everything and so what he did
01:35
i had bootstrapped my way to that first
01:37
event i had no money for it traded
01:39
funnels for plane tickets funnels for
01:40
hotel nights
01:41
now what i didn’t know at the time i
01:42
wish i would have known he didn’t have
01:43
enough money for a hotel room so he
01:45
actually slept in the lobby there at
01:46
funnel hiking live
01:47
woke up every morning got cleaned up in
01:49
the bathroom and then came back for day
01:51
number two and day number three
01:52
now the way that i found out about
01:54
stephen at the very end of the event he
01:55
walked over to the other clickfunnels
01:57
employees and said
01:58
i love what you guys do he’s like how in
01:59
the world can i work with you what does
02:00
that look like
02:01
so one of the other employees said well
02:03
you should just apply it and so stephen
02:04
went and applied
02:05
two days later i got a call um from
02:08
brentwood peters
02:08
we saw your resume do you want to be
02:10
russell brunson’s funnel builder
02:12
assistant
02:12
and i was like you guys are going to pay
02:13
me to do this that’s ridiculous so i
02:15
said absolutely
02:16
that’s how it started that’s how it
02:18
happened the rest is history he spent
02:19
two years working right next to me
02:21
as my full-time funnel builder and the
02:22
reason why we hired him is because he
02:24
was a fan
02:25
first i didn’t have to go re-teach him
02:27
all this stuff or have to go like
02:28
convince them that our culture was right
02:30
he came in understanding those things
02:31
and knowing those things so we just had
02:33
to get to work
02:33
and just so you know you don’t have to
02:35
go sleep in a hotel lobby to be
02:36
considered a fan you can just simply
02:38
like and comment subscribe share this
02:40
video on your fan page
02:42
that would be just as good as well and
02:43
if you wanna work for somebody else do
02:44
the same thing for their content as well
02:46
all right number two is showing off what
02:48
you can do not just saying what you can
02:50
do
02:50
you know the old saying that says
02:51
actions speak louder than words that’s
02:53
so
02:54
true especially when you’re trying to
02:55
land your dream job a couple years ago i
02:57
was looking for
02:58
a full-time copywriter to work with me
02:59
at the time i was writing all my copy it
03:01
was taking so much of my time i had over
03:03
a hundred people
03:04
apply to be my full-time copywriter now
03:06
what’s crazy is from the application i
03:08
got 99 resumes sent to me
03:10
only one person of the entire group
03:13
wrote a sales letter to sell me
03:14
i’m coming here and the sales letter is
03:16
shockingly good so it’s like how’d you
03:17
come into your office each morning and
03:18
tackle the most pressing coffee test
03:19
while learning to write just like you in
03:21
the process
03:21
probably that you never actually get my
03:23
voice like which is a huge fear i have
03:25
and hey you’re probably too busy
03:26
training writer holy crap that is
03:27
another big fear i have this
03:28
one actually pitched me knew my false
03:30
beliefs knew my concerns resolved them
03:32
amazing it was amazing someone who put
03:34
in the effort to actually use their
03:35
craft and use their skill
03:36
to sell me on why i should hire them
03:38
instead of just praying that their
03:39
resume would do the job for them they
03:40
should know at this point
03:42
that copy sells if they’re not going to
03:43
sell them probably not good enough to
03:45
sell me whatever the thing is you’re
03:46
gonna do
03:47
do the thing and show them that you can
03:48
actually do it that goes so much further
03:50
than any resume could ever dream of
03:52
doing
03:52
number three create your own audition
03:55
instead of creating a resume create an
03:56
audition
03:57
we hate resumes too they are so boring i
03:59
hate them as much if not more than you
04:01
do
04:01
you gotta deal with one i’ve gotta deal
04:03
with thousands instead of sending me a
04:04
resume
04:05
send me your audition if i wanna speak
04:07
at a big seminar in a big stage
04:09
somewhere
04:09
i don’t tell them i’m a good speaker i
04:11
make a speaker reel of me speaking i
04:12
send those so that people can actually
04:14
see me doing the thing it’ll free all
04:16
entrepreneurs
04:17
my initial goal is not to make you a
04:19
billion dollars my initial goal is to
04:20
get you to break even now you have a
04:22
tool that will consistently think about
04:23
what your craft is what the skills the
04:25
thing that you want to do
04:27
for the company you’re looking for make
04:28
an audition tape that way you can show
04:30
them your skill set your personality
04:31
your character your enthusiasm
04:33
and why you feel like you’re the best
04:34
person to work for them that’ll rise to
04:36
the top of
04:37
all the resumes as they go when they
04:39
watch your audition video
04:40
one really cool example this is
04:42
katherine jones now catherine never
04:43
looked for a job for me but she wanted
04:45
to speak at funnel hacking live she
04:46
wanted to get in front of our audience
04:47
so instead of just sending me an email
04:49
or sending me a tweet or dm or something
04:51
she went and she created an entire box
04:53
with multiple presentations about why
04:55
she’d be an amazing speaker
04:57
an amazing presenter she then signed up
04:58
for our coaching program
05:00
went to all the events we did and
05:01
eventually she found the time when i was
05:03
speaking at stage and for a whole bunch
05:04
of people where she could deliver her
05:06
box
05:06
we had an objective to hand deliver
05:10
to the man himself and i think operation
05:13
dropbox we killed it which stuck out it
05:16
popped in my head i kept that with me i
05:18
traveled all the way home
05:19
when i got home i looked at all the
05:20
things inside the box i watched all the
05:21
videos
05:22
within minutes i knew that she was the
05:24
right speaker for funnel hacking live
05:27
so matter what job you’re trying to get
05:29
or what client you’re trying to land
05:30
send them a video it’s so much easier
05:32
for them and for you
05:34
and if you want to take it to the next
05:35
level put it in a box put it in a
05:36
package put it on a video card something
05:38
that’s gonna get their attention
05:39
and stick out much more than any resume
05:41
ever could number four attend the best
05:43
networking event now obviously in our
05:45
industry funnel hiking live is the best
05:47
but in every industry there’s always
05:49
events you can attend so you can network
05:51
and get to know the key
05:52
decision makers inside of any business
05:53
inside any community there’s a huge
05:55
percentage of people who work at
05:56
clickfunnels today
05:57
who first went to a funnel hacking live
05:59
event became part of the community then
06:01
they had a desire to work with us
06:02
to take our message out to the world and
06:04
that’s how they got here on top of the
06:05
big events it’s also important to go to
06:07
small networking events in fact one of
06:08
my favorite stories
06:10
is uh john parks who is the head of the
06:11
click funnels advertising team
06:13
i actually met him on uh family reunion
06:15
and john
06:16
saw me and thought i’m gonna get that
06:18
guy to join my network marketing
06:19
opportunity
06:20
he spent an hour in about pitching me on
06:22
his opportunity eventually i turned the
06:23
corner and i pitched someone with the
06:24
opportunity i was working the time and i
06:26
signed him up
06:27
he started working with me and now 15
06:29
years later he runs the entire
06:30
advertising department here at click
06:31
funnels it all started because both of
06:33
us went to a small
06:34
intimate networking event it was a
06:35
family reunion but the concept is same
06:37
is finding small networking groups with
06:39
the core people that you want to work
06:40
with
06:41
another amazing story is dave woodward i
06:43
met dave about 15 years ago at a little
06:45
event that me and stu mclaren put on we
06:47
told that all the attendees if they
06:48
wanted to take the speakers out to lunch
06:50
they could go to the back of the room we
06:52
had sign up sheets to take speakers out
06:53
to breakfast lunch and dinner
06:54
and dave jumped up ran to the back of
06:56
the room grabbed my cider sheet
06:58
and signed up on every single meal
06:59
breakfast lunch and dinner and i had
07:01
breakfast lunch and dinner with dave
07:02
every single day for four days and built
07:04
a friendship and eventually a
07:06
partnership
07:07
so what you can learn from this is even
07:08
if you’re introverted and shy like me
07:10
you need to go to events find the key
07:12
decision makers and figure out a way to
07:13
stick out that way when they hear your
07:15
name they’re gonna know who you are
07:16
ahead of time it makes landing that
07:18
dream job so much easier
07:20
number five is just start working for
07:22
the company even if you don’t have a job
07:24
yet
07:24
for example find out how to become an
07:26
affiliate and sell their products online
07:28
if you go and start selling their
07:29
products it’s really simple and really
07:31
easy then to say hey i’m already selling
07:32
your stuff
07:33
can i get a job even inside of our two
07:34
common club x coaching program a lot of
07:36
our coaches
07:37
were people who initially were in our
07:38
facebook group just answering questions
07:41
telling people how to do what they were
07:42
asking to do and eventually like man you
07:44
are so good at helping our customers
07:45
can we pay you to do what you’re doing
07:47
right now for free surprisingly
07:49
most of them said yes another example is
07:51
noah lens who’s a teenager
07:53
inside of our funnel hacking community
07:55
as we launched funnels somehow he found
07:56
my voxer id
07:58
still not sure how he did that he was
07:59
sending messages saying hey your funnel
08:01
is pretty good but i think i built a
08:02
better version he built an entire other
08:03
funnel
08:04
and then sent it to me as a gift and
08:05
said hey you can keep using yours but
08:06
mine’s better if you want you can use
08:08
mine instead and he did that over and
08:09
over and over again until eventually i
08:10
got to know noah and then i actually had
08:12
no speak at stage
08:13
at our two comma club live unlock the
08:15
secrets event so the key here
08:17
is to find the people who you already
08:19
want to work for and then you start
08:20
working for them for free
08:22
start serving them start helping them
08:23
and what’s going to happen is they’re
08:24
going to notice you
08:25
and the law of rest process you’ll hit
08:27
in and eventually they should offer you
08:28
a job
08:29
and if they don’t maybe it’s the wrong
08:30
thing maybe you should come work for me
08:31
instead as long as you’re good
08:32
make sure you’re good at what you do now
08:35
i completely
08:35
understand that going above and beyond
08:37
can be scary it’s scary to make a video
08:40
scary to put yourself out there but
08:41
what’s even scarier is not trying and
08:43
then not getting the job but i want you
08:45
just to trust the process and put
08:47
yourself
08:47
out there and just see what happens
08:48
after you do that please let me know in
08:50
the comments down below how it worked
08:51
for you what you tried what was your
08:52
creative idea cause i’d love to hear
08:54
what you did to stick out amongst all
08:56
