Meet Brian Spector | Business Development & Networking Executive

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brian Spector and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brian, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Building Relationships and being selfless. You are only as good as the relationships you build and the reputation you keep. I work just as hard at that as I do my family, friends and colleagues.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the CEO of a Business Development Firm called Elite Leads. I also teach individuals, companies and schools the importance of building relationships through networking. I don’t think anything sets me apart from anybody else. I think everyone is unique in their own way, shape or form. Not everyone is going to be everyone else’s cup of tea. Sometimes it comes down to needs, wants and personality differentiations which is perfectly fine. I can only control my own narrative. I can control being a good person, working hard, respecting my friends, family, colleagues and doing what I can to help others and just be completely selfless. I am most proud of where I am today. As long as you know deep down that you are putting in the work…the results will eventually show. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Instant gratification doesn’t exist. Knowing that I have a good reputation, being well liked by colleagues and having the friends and family I do today for the most makes me feel beyond special and successful.

Starting my business wasn’t easy. I didn’t expect it to be. If it was easy then everyone would do it. I knew it would be a marathon and not a sprint. As a former broadcaster of 20 years…I had to overcome challenges everyday. Those challenges were pay, more opportunity, being labeled and the list goes on and on. It was a childhood dream and those challenges prepared me and made me the person that I am today. Along the way, I learned that if you want to be great at sales and you want to be likeable then BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. That is what I did since being a teenager. I have relationships with people that I have known for over 25 years. If people like you, trust you and respect you then they will refer you, speak well about you and do business with you.

I have overcome a lot of challenges and it wasn’t easy but there isn’t anyone that can’t do it. Positive mindset, no idea is a bad idea, if you believe in something then go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Be Selfless, be respectful, communicate, be honest and build relationships. All of that doesn’t cost a single red cent. Master that and you will get to where you want to be!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well I live in South Florida so you can make a week out of going between the tri county area. Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. I always like to take people to concerts, sporting events, comedy clubs and plenty of the hot spot restaurants around. Who doesn’t like food, comedy, sports, concerts or just lying by the pool or beach for hours on end.

There are a lot of hot spots around town whether it’s the Hard Rock, Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach and the world famous South Beach (Miami Beach)

Family and friends are always entertained upon their arrival to South Florida for the duration of their weekly stay!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My parents Ilene & Ken Spector taught me all of life’s lessons. I owe the person I am today to my parents. I also couldn’t be where I am today without the love and support of my wife Sarah.
