Rockstars and Rainmakers: Build It and They Will Come

By Ken Rusk and John Skomski

Build the kind of workplace where people don't just stick around--they commit, thrive and feel proud to be on your team.

Across American small businesses, owners, bosses, and managers are fighting the same exhausting--and expensive--battle: hire someone, lose them, start over, and try to run the company in between.

Blue-collar entrepreneur Ken Rusk and Converge Wealth founder John Skomski bring their range of experiences and shared vision together into simple solutions to the talent problem: look beyond the usual recruitment pools and invest more deeply in retaining your best workers when you find them.

Simply put: Create a cool place to work and watch your company revenue explode

Rockstars and Rainmakers is their plug-and-play system for attracting, developing, and retaining the rockstars and rainmakers who work for you--blue collar, white collar, or "any collar." Learn what's important to your teammates to help them SEE a future, PLAN for it, and stay sharply engaged. You'll gain actionable strategies from Rusk's 40 year experience managing his $500 million construction company, Rusk Industries, where retention rates are through the roof.

Increase your company's "cool factor" and decrease your workload through ready-to-use steps like:
Hire for character, grit, and attitude--not just resumes and GPAs Create a culture where employees work for themselves first (and you benefit too) Turn goals into powerful timed pathways with instant day 1 momentum Recognize people in many ways that feel personal, meaningful, and motivating Reduce turnover risk, save on hiring costs and build long-term loyalty--fast
If you're ready for a killer staff, a real shot at running your company successfully, and a team that wins with you, Rockstars and Rainmakers shows you how to Build it (...and They Will Come).
