Dont Cold Call 8 Things to Do Instead

Dont Cold Call 8 Things to Do Instead I started my recruitment career as a researcher in an executive recruitment agency. Old-school cold calling was all I did, including identifying target candidates via cover stories and then cold calling the prospects later, but is it still as effective? What is cold calling According to the dictionary, Merriam-Webster defines cold calling as: “a telephone call soliciting business made directly to a potential customer without prior contact or without a lead”. Sadly, people just don’t like it if strangers knock on their door (or call them) and try to sell them things that they may or may not need. Cold calling statistics In 2007 it took 3.68 cold call attempts to reach a prospect. In 2013 it was 8 attempts (Source: TeleNet and Ovation Sales Group). It certainly is even more in 2017. Only 1% of cold calls convert into appointments (Source: Keller Center Research Report) 90% of B2B decision makers never respond to any form of cold outreach but 75% of them use social media in their decision-making (Source: Freshbusinessthinking) Inbound leads cost 61% less than outbound leads or  cold calls. (Source: HubSpot) Of course, these are not cold calling statistics specific to recruitment but this still reflects how times have changed, including in recruitment. What has changed? People are fed up with random calls from strangers. Ask yourself: when was the last time that you were pleased when a telemarketer called to sell you an insurance? Do you really think that it’s that different when a recruiter calls someone with whom he never had any previous point of contact? Social media did change the way we communicate with each other. Just have a look around you the next time you are on a bus or train: the majority of people are using their phones while commuting. Of course, we still talk F2F and over the phone but messaging and social media has become an integral part of the way we communicate. A Forbes study showed that Gen Y and Millennials prefer using social media and instant messaging over talking with someone on the phone or in person. They will comprise more than 50% of the workforce by 2020. This trend will certainly only continue. Candidate behaviour has changed as well. Candidates act as consumers would. They want to know who they are dealing with. Consider the following: if you want to buy a car, you won’t only research the car but also the car dealer. In recruitment, candidates can choose which agency they want to work with, and they are fully aware of this. Candidates are researching recruitment agencies. And if there is one that looks particularly good then candidates might consider to only speak with this one agency. Because it is so easy to research both recruitment agencies and individual recruiters, credibility has become a key factor. Candidates want recruiters who are experts in their fields to represent them AND who service them well. If a recruiter doesn’t look after them well enough or if they aren’t credible, then candidates just go to the next recruiter. If the candidate has heard of you or seen evidence of your market knowledge before (e.g. via your blog or LinkedIn pulse posts) then he already ‘knows’ you and is much more likely to trust and do business with you. 8 techniques to do instead: Check who looked at your LinkedIn profile every day. Those people are likely to be interested in what you have to offer and have heard of you already. It would be a wasted opportunity not to get in touch with them. Speak to someone after they accepted your LinkedIn invitation or, even more so, after they sent you an invite. They just told you that they are interested in what you are doing it would be rude to ignore that! This could be either via a follow-up message or a phone call. Build up credibility part I: Write value-adding articles in which you do not try to sell your services. LinkedIn Pulse is a good place to start. And very important: the quintessence of your articles should NOT be ‘use me’ or ‘use recruitment agencies’. That’s not adding value, that’s trying to sell your services at a place where it doesn’t belong. Instead, focus on topics that are of interest to your candidates and clients â€" not subjects that are of interest to you. Build up credibility part II: Be active on social media. Which media depends on your target group. Look where your candidates are or just ask them. Engage in conversations and give advice willingly and for free. Build up credibility part III: Post regular updates on the medium where your candidates are. Share updates and other content regularly. Use pictures wherever you can. And make sure that you don’t advertise too many jobs compared to the number of value adding material that you post. Have a broad spectrum of touch points before you call: The ‘view recent activity’ button on LinkedIn is a great place to start! See what your prospect posted recently maybe you can like it, share it or even leave a comment? Comments are a great way of breaking the ice and it just seems reasonable to follow up with a LinkedIn invite and mention that you saw their post and that you e.g. couldn’t agree more. Of course, the network that you should focus on depends on where your candidates are. Ask for referrals. If it’s appropriate, don’t only get the contact details from the referral but also ask the person who gave you the referral to mention to the referral that you will be calling them. This will a) build positive anticipation and b) you can’t really get a warmer introduction than that. LinkedIn call referrals ‘warm introductions’ and they reckon warm introductions are 37% more likely to win the deal, and the deal size is 23% higher on average. Don’t forget the basics: Pick up the phone to warm candidates and clients  which is your database: make sure you stay in touch with them. A very good way of doing so is setting up a call cycle which ensures that you speak with every candidate and client every couple of months. The first objection of those calls is not to try to sell something but to see how things are going for them. If things are going well, then this is great news. If they aren’t that happy, then you can find out why this is the case and see if there is something that you can do to ease their pain. I am certainly not saying don’t call quite the opposite is true! Recruitment is a numbers game, and more activity leads to more results. What I am saying is: DO call. Do MANY calls. But make quality calls that are more efficient and will bring a higher outcome with less input.

Careers for Environmentalists

Careers for Environmentalists We live in a time where doing our part for the environment today may come to impact the quality of life for millions down the road. If you’ve always had a passion for all things green, you might be surprised to know that there are more fields for environmentally conscious workers than ever before. Jobs like urban farming and sustainable energy engineers are not only in high demand, but are continuing to grow into the foreseeable future. As such, if you have an eagerness to make the world a better, more sustainable place to live, these fields might be worth taking a look at. Geology If getting your hands right into the action is the direction you prefer, a career in geology might just be the right thing for you. Geologist are highly sought after in several different career paths. Mainly, you can find them working directly with the earth’s resources. That could mean anything from working to sustain and optimize the earth’s renewable resources (including rain water, geothermal heat, and even the earth’s tides) to the study and protection of our oceans. Sustainable Energy Engineers Engineers are always in high demand. As a rule of thumb, the world is always in desperate need for those who create. However, specifically relating to the environmental sector, engineers help us to imagine, create, maintain, and improve things that power our world. Instead of turning to fossil fuels, sustainable energy engineers work to perfect things like the electric car, wind turbines, and solar power in order to provide the earth with less damaging sources of energy that we so gravely need. Urban Farmer The need to produce organic food quickly has increased exponentially in recent years. Especially in densely populated areas, consumers want the freshest ingredients as quickly as possible. The best way to do that is through urban farming. Urban farming usually means taking advantage of unused city space for the purpose of farming organic foods. Not only does it provide a “farm to table” experience for those within the city, but it doesn’t waste precious farmland for those who need it most. Additionally, many urban farming initiatives provide impoverished regions across the world the tools necessary to sustain their community with nutritional produce. Green Builder Green builders can function in various capacities. For example, they may be asked to refurbish established (and possibly energy draining) buildings into smooth-running, energy efficient ones. There are also many private contractors working in the green field that help design and and manufacture state of the art green homes and facilities from the ground up. Lastly, some green builders work with whatever recyclable resources they can find and build homes for the homeless and less fortunate. Water Quality Technicians Ever wonder what happens when there is an oil or chemical spill in the ocean? That’s where water quality technicians come in. These experts work hard to stop these types of incidents from happening, but when they do occur, they’re also creating the most efficient methods for water decontamination. Other technicians may be assigned to the treatment of contaminated water in 3rd world countries. Sadly, there are many countries in the world which don’t have the luxury of enjoying clean, disease-free drinking water whenever they please. These folks help to make this a reality for those in need. These are just a handful of options for the environmentally conscious worker. There are so many ways to get involved with green work in this day and age. It’s as simple as doing your research, joining a cause, and doing your part to make a lasting effect. You have the power to lend a helping hand and make your mark on the world.

Personal Branding Interview Daniel Goleman - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Daniel Goleman - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke to Daniel Goleman, who is an internationally known psychologist that lectures frequently to professional groups, business audiences, and on college campuses. Goleman reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times for many years. His 1995 book,  Emotional Intelligence  was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half; with more than 5 million copies in print worldwide in 30 languages, and has been a best seller in many countries. His latest book is called  Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence (Selected Writings). In this interview, he talks about emotional intelligence versus IQ, his competency framework, and more. A  recent study  came out by CareerBuilder that states that 71% of employers value emotional Intelligence over IQ. What are your thoughts about this? It’s not “IQ versus emotional intelligence” â€" both have great value. IQ  tells you what level of cognitive complexity a person can manage in their job: you need high levels for top management, the professions, the sciences, while lower levels work fine in lower echelons. Emotional intelligence (or EI)  sets apart which leaders, professionals, or scientists will be the best leaders. Can you explain your competency framework? What can professionals do to become more self-aware? Emotional intelligence competencies are learned abilities like the drive to achieve and emotional self-control, both of which build on underlying EI components like self-management. Self-awareness is one of four EI domains (the others: self-management, social awareness and relationship management). A powerful way to boost self-awareness is to undergo a  360-degree evaluation  by people you know well and trust evaluating you on the EI competencies. What would you say are the top 3 skills that make a leader based on your famous HBR article? “What Makes a Leader?” was the title of the 1998 article I wrote in HBR that the review calls one of its ten “must-read” articles of all time. I wrote about three abilities that distinguish the best leaders from average: self-awareness, which both lets you know your strengths and limits, and strengthens your inner ethical radar; self-management, which lets you lead yourself effectively; and empathy, which lets you read other people accurately. You put all those together in every act of leadership. How important is psychology in understanding the needs of employees and customers? Explain. Crucial: it’s all based on people’s emotions, whether customers or employees. For employees, how a leader makes them feel plays a large role in their level of motivation, commitment, and even drives their brain in (or out of) the best zone for marshaling whatever cognitive abilities and skills they bring to the job. And for customers and clients, how they feel about their interactions with the people in your organization determines how they feel about the company as a whole. True or false: if you can’t manage yourself, you can’t manage someone else? Explain. So true. The ability to manage yourself â€" to have self-awareness and self-regulation â€" is the very basis of managing others, in many ways. For instance, science has learned that if you are tuned out of your own emotions, you will be poor at reading them in other people. And if you can’t fine-tune your own actions â€" keeping yourself from blowing up or falling to pieces, marshaling positive drives â€" you’ll be poor at handling the people you deal with. Star leaders are stars at leading themselves, first. Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist who lectures frequently to professional groups, business audiences, and on college campuses. Working as a science journalist, Goleman reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times for many years. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence, was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half; with more than 5,000,000 copies in print worldwide in 30 languages, and has been a best seller in many countries.

Why small businesses are the big career break

Why small businesses are the big career break Big businesses are an attractive prospect for recent graduates: glamorous offices and fine dining lure in the country’s most talented students with the promise of job security and a career ladder. However, many graduates’ who’ve had experience in a range of businesses will warn that the pay packets and brand names come at the cost of day-to-day  fulfilment. Pros and Cons of Big Businesses Corporates are lean, mean and efficient. To maintain high margins and international dominance they have to run like clockwork. This means anyone who gets involved is a cog in the machinery (excuse the bad pun). There are a number of potential implications, both good and bad. The positive is that unless someone invents system for achieving the end goal with fewer cogs involved, your job is safe. On the other hand, however, there is little opportunity to see how other parts work, to observe different departments, or to develop. Alongside, your responsibility will be limited to taking care of your stage in the process of big business. Working With A Small Business The contrast with small businesses can be stark. As opposed to tower blocks, in house Costa and branded post-its, you might find yourself working at your employer’s kitchen table, ideas might still be in development or the target market might be small. Although ‘small businesses’ is an umbrella term for a big range, they share dynamism, integral to the success of any fast and organically growing company. Decisions are made quickly and strategy evolves to respond to changes in the market or to new experiences. For employees, especially graduates, the environment can have a number of real advantages over corporate atmosphere. Small businesses only think about hiring when they are working beyond capacity. As every new recruit is therefore overdue, they are always grateful for an extra pair of hands. Instead of devising work appropriate for an entry-level employee, small businesses immediately delegate vital tasks. A graduate might be thrown in at the deep end, but they are certainly challenged. In businesses that have either remained small or are new players, there is room to exercise some truly innovative thinking. First, you will have direct access to the decision makers. Being able to ask the CEO what he or she thinks about an idea you’ve had over lunch is faster than negotiating with heads of department. Second, when you join a culture without historic bureaucracy, there is no sense of ‘the way things have always been done’. Test the Small vs Big Businesses Your initial foray into the working world should allow you to test and discover different options for your future career. While a corporate internship might offer the chance to see one department of a multi-national, a small company needs any employee to be immersed in every aspect. While formal graduate schemes are hiring fewer and fewer, numbers of applications continue to rise. By contrast, small businesses continue to hire. What is more, they are interested in your personality, and what you have learnt from existent work experience, not just your performance in application centres.

Boomer Career Trends Americas Graying Workforce - Executive Career Brandâ„¢

Boomer Career Trends Americas Graying Workforce According to one government estimate, 93% of the growth in the U.S. labor force from 2006 to 2016 will be among 55 and older workers. We’ve all been hearing lately that boomers are staying in the workforce longer because their retirement accounts took such a hit recently, and that we can expect the trend to continue well after the economy recovers. But you may be surprised to know that the majority of those over 55 stay at work beyond retirement age because they want to stay active into their later years, not because they need the money.
