Wordsmiths and Lemons

Executive recruitment, in a way, is like searching for a gemstone in a bag of beans.

You started hunting for a new sales executive, looking for a playwright of future success. In the evening, as you sip your mead by candlelight, you begin to think that Shakespeare has left the building or indeed the globe. You have interviewed several candidates for the bountiful role you have tucked in your top pocket, but everyone is lacking.

You were hoping for a writer, a linguist, a storyteller. But oh my, all you managed to find were five candidates who talked and rattled on but never listened, and two old hounds who had years of experience but were too set in their ways to take on new skills.

Your client is a forward-thinking company that likes to take the scribbles of curiosity in a mind map session and set the wheels in motion. They have come to you because they are looking for some reassurance that those shining ones are still out there somewhere.

And at the moment, you are finding that you have more chances of recruiting for the role of Mavis in Coronation Street in days gone by than finding a diamond amongst the dust.

So, what now Sonya, I hear you ask. What’s it all about Alfie?

Well, Alfie gave up a long time ago and that was indeed the downfall of Alfie’s career.

Finding the right candidates for your company can be a very stressful experience. You can find yourself registered with many recruitment companies. The larger the organization, the thinner the spread and attention to detail. But that is where a boutique offering such as The Sales Recruitment Network comes in. When you have a passion for your niche, your basket of goodies is indeed full of a vast variety of candidates.

When we recruit within the sales area, we are looking for a prosateur, a wordmonger and someone who has not just the I.T ability to keep records and create reports, we are looking to appoint a fabulist, a belle-lettrist, that can create future success.

And as for lemons, well they are abrasive little fellows. They have their benefits and can indeed balance a glass of sweet Pimm’s. But recruiting lemons is an expensive mistake.

If you are looking for a fresh new thing, you might like to consider giving The Sales Recruitment network a call!

Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! So, why not...

Settle down in a comfy chair with a hazelnut, cream billabong, nut crush latte.... Pegasus: Publicity Agents with Wings! Peg and her sis, Nora, had done it! Well, you might say, done what Sonya? It all began with the new contract with the much-acclaimed Gorgon Biscuit Empire. It had been a crummy year, and the girls looked forward to receiving a large dossier containing a yummy filling, the client's brief. But instead of a thick layer of paper, detailing requirements, they found a sheet of paper with two words written in bright pink felt tip. UNICORN SANDWICH Well, Peg and her sis were baffled. Their feathers had been ruffled! They both felt as though they had snakes in their hair as they decided on their plan of action. Today's client meeting would be refreshing, and different. And it definitely would Involve mind mapping! Very soon they realized that Gorgon Biscuits had Pegasus written all over them. This was no conservative pale rich tea crust of a company. It was a fandang...

Mr. Sales Consultant, take heed! The time has come to talk about listening!

And then I hear you say, hey, what are you going on about Sonya? Well, it’s all about our internal dialogue when we make a consultative call. You see, listening is a multi-functional task that requires thinking about how you do it. Maybe you would not agree. Especially If you won your new sales executive position based on being an expert with years of experience. You are indeed a tip-top consultant who knows how to implement a call. Who am I to open your canny little ears? But what if there was more cream, or pudding available if you reconsidered the process of making those sales calls? Sorry to bring it back to puddings. Having your cake and eating it is great. When you stand back and look at your creation and want to share, knowing how to blend the ingredients will either leave a good or bad taste in the mouth of the consumer. The phenomena of hearing and therefore listening can be split if you like …no bananas needed. So, listen up, we need to examine this experience ...

Recruitment: The Penny in Your Pocket !

When we recruit, we are enrolling, enlisting that new person needed to fit into the culture of the workplace. You may just want someone who gets it done, does the job, and keeps things ship shape or you may want that certain someone who makes the difference as well. Brings a certain something to the team that was lacking. Once upon a time in a marketing office, there stood a marketing manager . Jasmine had just finished collecting stats for a report and updating the company website. She felt flat, yes as flat as a pancake without any sugar or lemon. She wondered how the rest of the week would turn out. Or would it just be a flop? Jasmine walked over to the window and slowly pulled the glossed sash upwards. The smell of fresh air was divine as it filtered up her nose, then down her throat, to her lungs. She looked over to the coffee shop down the road. And decided it was time for hot chocolate! But what was this, she had left her purse at home. Feeling disappointed she turned round to f...
