Today, Thursday, July 10 we're going to continue the talk about the dark side of sourcing over in the MagicMethod Phone Sourcing Classroom Chat at noon EST.

Many people think this telephone sourcing business is easy because, shouldering the blame; some of us have made it “look” easy. As one experienced sourcer, Elizabeth Smith says:
There is nothing easy about it. Data points here:
1. You will always be called to task for your value
2. You will always be called to task for you time and productivity
3. You will have to explain what you do 100 times to people at all levels, and then....
4. When you work on actual projects, you will have to explain your purpose again.
5.......and again......
6. You must help to define your purpose and set goals because you don't 'own' the requisition--Maureen can explain that better than I ...but suffice it to say....
7. You don't get near enough info to put together a strong sourcing plan/strategy, sooooo
8. You have to get sassy and almost pushy about getting the info....and remember you have to get it because
9. You have to define your purpose and set goals to see success--planning ahead is needed, training and strategy are needed...
