Michael Barash was working on a search for a client in Nashville, TN when he approached a mid-career superstar who was looking to relocate with his wife, back to her home state of Florida.
How’d he make it happen? – He called all of the firm owners in the target destination and posed a serious question…
“How would you like to hire a rockstar who will undoubtedly grow into a future Partner with your firm?”
The answer was simple for three new clients who couldn’t wait to potentially land this new hire.
One firm, in particular, stood out.
They were able to paint a picture of upward mobility and showcase their proven culture of growth & success.
It was a no-brainer for his wife, as well, who couldn’t wait to get back home.
Competitive, Coachable, & Resilient – three Core Values on the ESP wall that have been drilled into Barash’s character since his Baseball days.
But in this case, it was our MLB 9th Round draft pick’s ability to build a relationship with a perfect stranger he met on Linkedin, that sealed the deal and changed the trajectory of this young man’s career, for years to come.
Well done, Michael. Keep swinging for the fences.
