<p>The fact is that we are dealing with to groups of equally trained guys that were equally matched in (high) performance last year, so it makes no sense that such a wide gap exists from an ability perspective. I probably should have mentioned that in my first email. I know that it is not the number of calls you make, but the quality of the call.</p>

<p>I would rather swing at one pitch in the daylight versus 10 pitches in the dark.</p>

<p>I would ask what experience level of the more successful vs the less successful. It's easy to make yourself busy with unproductive work. More experienced people will be better at fine-tuning the calls that are made and maybe that would explain this. But, phone first and most. I'm always amused when people think anything will replace that in recruiting. It'll never, ever happen.</p>

<p>To piggy back on that one, when is a recruiter considered a "stalker"? I believe the phone is the way to go but would like everyone's opinion on this question. What is your thoughts on over doing the phone calls to the HR people that you want to do business with. What is your opinion on too many calls? If there are any hiring managers out there, I would like to hear from you too.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don't know the dynamics of your office. Maybe those that don't call much have been in business for a long time and have large networks. Maybe the quality of the calls for those who call isn't right. For me, the phone is the only tool I really need. With it, I can get placements, but just as importantly, I get knowledge that I could never get from any other source.
