About a month ago I created a survey where 2,912 worldwide professionals on LinkedIn responded. The question was, “Would you hire a suitable

When it comes to Reverse Marketing to bigger organisations, there are several ways to get the conversation started, and grab their attention. One of them is the CEO’s letter to shareholders, which is the annual letter that the CEO or C-suite write to their shareholders each year. The letter usually covers the organisation's financial results, its current position in the market, and some of its goals. In the letter, they generally have four or five specific goals that they wan

So, therefore, your probability of doing business with these decision-makers is a lot higher. Here are 10 trigger events that will help you do reverse marketing more intelligently, as well as carve out better employment opportunities for your jobseeke

As I always say, your job placements at the end of the month mostly depend on how full your pipeline is. A sales pipeline is your database

Before we embark on creating the perfect reverse marketing pitch, there are 4 offerings (products/services) we need to understand. Jobseeker

When I was an employment consultant both in Australia and the UK, I had met many types of people who were on welfare. It did not matter

As I’ve said many times, you should never ever begin by telling, pitching or providing solutions before the client articulates what they want to gain, achieve or solve. Open-ended questions are essential for any sales success. As we know, without an employer having recruitment, staffing or even business problems, we cannot provide recruitment solutions, specifically if we’re trying to job carve. And in order to discover business problems, we need to ask good questions. Good q

One of the biggest mistakes I see time and time again when it comes to Reverse Marketing is not having a clear strategy. There is no structure, frameworks, sales cadence process, scripts, a sufficient employer database or even a blueprint. The employer pipeline is usually weak and it’s because some may not have the capabilities or knowledge in how to build a pipeline. It’s vital that each staff member has a clear strategy and process of how they will execute in order to reach

Unless you have a mission and purpose driven approach to your marketing, then you won’t succeed. Many times, it’s not the most skilled in their employer engagement activities, but the person that knows exactly why they need to pick up the phone and call up employers on behalf of their clients. Or why they need to go out and knock on doors, even though it may not be the most enjoyable activity of the day. Before this person picks up the phone, they are clear about their why an

It’s usually the quality of the questions that we ask others that can shift their behaviour and create insights for self-awareness

Each month, I will highlight two people who work in the industry who will share their tips, industry secrets, successes, and failures.

I once worked with a Job active team who decided to dedicate two full days out of the month of August for marketing to employers. They shut down the office, rescheduled jobseeker appointments and got on the phones to market. After two full days of marketing, and dialling hundreds of phone numbers, they didn’t have the results that they expected. So, they never repeated those marketing days ever again. Little did they realise that prospecting is not a one-time event, but a con
