7 Figure Biller Secrets with Amanda Berning

Benjamin Mena welcomed Amanda Berning onto the Elite Recruiter podcast to discuss how to bill seven figures as a recruiter. Amanda revealed that she never set out to become a recruiter, but ended up in the industry after a friend of a friend told her about an admin role that didn't require working on weekends and holidays. After taking a disc profile test, it was suggested that she had potential to be a recruiter and the president of the company asked if she was interested in the job - to which she replied no, as she didn't want to call people on the phone.

 The conversation began with the speaker describing their experience transitioning from an agency recruiter to an internal recruiter. It was an eye-opening experience as she supported executive search and a global role as a head of legal in Singapore, but were surprised to learn that they had to go through a process of bar and compensation reviews before the offer could be made. Through this experience, the she learned to appreciate the importance of the process when dealing with corporate clients and was excited to return to agency recruiting. They noted the difference between the speed of recruitment when working with an agency compared to when working internally.

Amanda shares their own experience of becoming a seven figure biller in three years. She describes the process as hard work and long hours, including planning, hunting for deals, and making lots of calls. They also emphasize the importance of taking the initiative, such as being the first one in the office and the last one out. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of analyzing mistakes and looking for ways to improve. The speaker also talks about the importance of having the right attitude, which includes being willing to put in the hard work and being okay with it.
