Need a hand setting up a simple Facebook or Google Advertising campaign? Lets talk thought what you want to do and I can help you with the first steps in a clear and simple way.
I've been involved in the IT industry since the late 90's. I can help you streamline your business by using the right combination of IT looks that are easy to use and maintain.
I have 25+ years experience working with not-for-profit boards and developing business systems, IT and HR solutions, designing service delivery and planning fund raising and grant writing.
When you are getting started there really isn't a way to avoid cold calling. Its a skill and it gets easier the more you do it. The agency I worked at used to do cold call afternoons - everyone did it at the same time, and there were prizes and incentives. It made it fun.
My top tips: - Get a headset if you can and stand up - gives you more energy - Take the mindset that you have something amazing to offer and why wouldn't they want to talk to you? - Make a note of everything so you develop a database of contacts.
One 'blackhat' method of getting leads is to call for a reference for a candidate you are working with. You are much more likely to get through. And you have a really simple opportunity to ask "so how are you getting on replacing this person"
Beyond cold calls, I'd write to everyone (no, a letter, not an email) and include your card or perhaps a calendar or a pen. Introduce your new agency and why you are so good in your niche. Recruitment is one of those things that people don't need until they do - and having your details close at had is a winner.
I'm available for a call if you want to talk more specifics
