Nigel's Dream Team: A Sales Tale!

It had been a busy morning in the office. Nigel had put together a rather long report and statistical analysis for this week’s sales meeting. He stopped whilst looking at the empty desks around him. And then he realized Duncan, the new telesales executive was having another conversation with himself, and this time it looked serious. Great!

Nigel relaxed and closed his eyes. As he began to doze off, he sunk deeper into his padded executive chair. He felt his neck relax as he slumbered off into sleepy land.

Suddenly, Nigel was not in his office, but in a room full of proactive salespeople!

They picked up calls within three rings and were so, well, proactive! And they knew how to communicate! As Nigel listened to the conversations around the room, he knew he was dreaming. Open questions, Excel spreadsheets being filled in, and the CRM system was totally up to date! Surely, he had traveled to sales office heaven, not the offices of Pratts Plumb and Gooseberry Conserve, Norfolk Keys.

Nigel thought about the jams he had recently found himself in. Well, not literally.

He seemed to be in an in-between land of deep sleep and waking when he felt something…a peculiar feeling, spreading down his leg.

And then he woke up and realized he had dropped his mug of spiced banana double fluffy, cream cup coffee!

Nigel stood up and grabbed his phone. It was lunchtime. Time to go for a walk and find a recruitment specialist. It was time for Nigel’s dream team to materialize…

Well, what a lovely little story to lighten up your day!

If it is not the penguins, it’s the armadillos, but then again you do have the moose to contend with!

Yes, if it is not one thing it is another. The world of recruitment never runs smoothly. Do you aim for a working day that runs like an efficient machine, like a finely made brass wheel, perfect in its, erm, roundness? In this tale of recruitment woe, we see how working with a company that fits you snuggly, can make all the difference. Penguins! The trouble with penguins is they are hard to find and tend to congregate where fish stock resides. Therefore, far-flung places next to the sea. So, you gather your belongings and pack your rucksack, and off you go. Your new electric car means it will take you a bit longer, but hey ho, you like a sixty-hour working week and traveling to the far reaches of the country to see rare species. Armadillos You arrive and undo your padded ski jacket and take off your two fleeces, two silk vests to reveal your shirt and tie. You leave your Salopettes on just for good measure. You are met in the reception area with a smile and a cuppa by Agnes the tea lad...

Dorothy pressed the mouse button to click on the next call and the number popped up. She instantly knew something was different when the automated voice announced that there would be a long wait due to their representatives being busy all over the world. Yes, safely escorting ...

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...
