Re: Recruitment or Telemarketing/account manager

The big advantage of non-recruitment sales. You don't have to hunt for a product (I hate referring to candidates like that, but for the purpose of this conversation it's what they are), and your...

Re: Recruitment or Telemarketing/account manager

Quick note, and I know your offer isn't with them, but I'd avoid SThree like the plague. Never heard anything good about them.

At our company (and it is a decent size, about 220 or so) it's

Re: Restaurant sues Google

Before 1998 he didn't have to worry about new customers (or even returning customers) checking his opening times on the internet before thinking he's shut and choosing somewhere else.

Re: Restaurant sues Google

It's easy to say the business owner should have seen this coming/had a social media consultant/what have you. But this problem has been coming. Google are determined to give you the answers to...

Re: It ain't just about the money - so don't make that your only focus

Indeed, that's what I meant, though obviously I didn't explain myself well. One guy I used to work is now running his own "recruitment business". It's inverted commas as he has one part time admin...

Re: The deadpan people

Underground, from what I read of SocialEntry's posts my guess would be he has no control over the sales funnel, being able to create a more sophisticated system. He is employed to simply call these...

Re: To all self-employed: How do you handle the fear?

Now I'm no "mind warrior". I did go full time in IM, did fairly well, and then had to go back to work after it got shut down by Google. No complaints from me - I was into micro niche sites that,...

Re: The deadpan people

A 2nd thought to help you with confidence. You gave the stat that 83% is the industry average for customer satisfaction. Assuming your percentage is bringing the average up, let's call it 80%. ...

Re: The deadpan people

Claude makes some good points but if you are working for a firm my guess is that you have no decision making powers over lists, etc.

At this point, it IS a numbers game. I did this for a few...

Re: It ain't just about the money - so don't make that your only focus

Remember that an x percentage of SMBs are going to be "lifestyle" companies, that employ anywhere between say 0 and 10 members of staff. The managers are comfortable at level and don't want to take...

Re: War Room Subscription

Since people seem to throwing their two cents in - my suggestion would be to simply divide the war room. Split it into a "freebies" section for members, and a discussion forum. This might bring...

Re: It aint' about the money - so don't make that your focus

Re: It aint' about the money - so don't make that your focus

Indeed. So more customers mean more money, right?

The problem is, of course, the lead time between what we do (be it website, SEO, lead gen, what have you) and that money coming in. But it's...

Re: It aint' about the money - so don't make that your focus

28% said their biggest barrier was marketing/finding new customers

Re: How I changed my life with FREE offline coaches and mentors

It's also worth remembering old lessons learned from "freebie mentors" that you may not have directly learned from. It's amazing how once you reach a certain level of experience these lessons can...

Re: what about movie stars and sport stars?

I'm not 100% sure why you are targetting them here, but yes - most will have private advisors. I have a friend who was a minor rugby star (plays for the local pro team which is one of the top 20 or...
