We’re highlighting some of the amazing people who make up our Planet. Today, let’s get to know John McGee with our Planet Technology team.

What’s your favorite part of the workday?

I am a salesperson at heart, so I still love pursuing and closing business. This year has presented some challenges from a buying perspective, so I enjoy putting together the “pieces of the puzzle” that form into a buying customer.

What has been your career highlights at TPG so far?

2022 was a banner sales year that included some personal highs.

What advice would you give to aspiring individuals looking to enter the Recruitment industry?

I would tell anyone entering the recruiting industry that commitment and perseverance pay off. Be committed to working a sales system that includes repeatable & sustained activities and be persistent in your pursuit of customers or candidates depending on your role.

In one sentence, describe why someone should consider a career at Planet Technology

Planet Technology provides an opportunity for anyone willing to pursue it.

What has been your favorite Planet Technology event?

Gold Club was a great event. It was fun to meet face to face with people I only see on Teams or speak to on the phone.

Why do you think Planet Technology’s model makes our business so successful?

Planet Technology encourages people to be creative and come up with new ways of growing the business. If someone has ideas for new avenues of business or how to go to market, the company leadership is listening.  

How supportive has Planet Technology been in allowing you to achieve your own personal goals?

Extremely – I’ve never asked to pursue a route that hasn’t been approved.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why?

Italy is at the top of our list right now. My sister-in-law is from Italy, and they (my brother’s family) spend a good portion of the year there, so we want to go and experience it as “locals”.
