I can't imagine the gall it takes to call the competition's air talent, while they're on the air, on the job, to offer them a job across street. First, you have to make "friends" with the competitions' talent. Then you have to "cultivate" them. You must flatter your new "friends", stroke their ego a little. Then try and plant some seeds of doubt about your new "friends" current employer. Then you ease in to telling them how green the grass is on your side of the fence. You "cultivate" them more by telling them of the your long range goals and about all the other "friends" he has made in your organization. Then at just the right moment, you make your pitch and Oh Man, are you smooth. You bring your new "friends" in your confidence and then you make the closing line. The only thing is, they're not buying. They all tell their current employer about your job offers. They all laugh at your pathetic and thinly disquised attempt to steal the competition's talent, because your company isn't capable of finding any on their own. Poor you. Your boss should be doing this job, but he can't. The stress he's been under lately has got him drinking in public a littlle too much. Time to start over. Must be plenty of more "friends" you can go "cultivate", right Bill?
