Topic: Time Management Tips from a Sales Recruitment Consultant: none exemplifies it quite as well as sales recruitment. Think about it: every second spent on a potential hire that’s not a good fit, or lost to any of the day’s many distractions, is time that could have been better allocated to a more promising candidate. And time a recruitment consultant spends with that qualified candidate is time invested in a placement that will pay off, for both the employer and the sales recruitment firm. The importance of good time management and responsible scheduling may not break down so clearly in other industries, but it is not unique to sales recruitment. Whether you are an up-and-coming recruitment consultant, a college student, part-time sales clerk, self-employed entrepreneur, stay-at-home mom or big wig executive, you can always benefit from structuring your day to be more efficient and productive. Take a few tips from a successful sales recruitment consultant and make them fit to your end goals: Make a plan every day. Write it down. Sounds silly, and like a kind of “duh” tip, but I’ve seen more than one recruitment consultant miss something because they gave themselves too much credit and assumed they could “keep it all up here.” Nope. The exercise of writing down what you need to accomplish will help you remember in itself, and seeing it there will give you a map of what to do next. Find an end goal. Work towards that by working backwards. Figure out what your ultimate goal for the day or week is, and then work your way backwards and determine what you need to do to get there. A sales recruitment consultant may see placing a hire as the final goal, so the steps before are to make contacts, call candidates, set up meetings, etc. Apply this somewhat backwards thinking in order to effectively work your way forward. Stick to your list. Set up a mini-reward system if you need to. Use the list to stay on task. Break it into manageable chunks with mini-goals and corresponding mini-rewards. Tell yourself you need to return all your phone calls before lunch; this gives you something to work towards beside the ultimate end goal, with the added enticement of a break for lunch at the end. There’s also the motivating sense of accomplishment every time you get to cross something off. These simple tips can really help structure your day and increase your productivity, no matter what your final goal is. What other time management strategies work for you?

Comment on: Topic 'To Conference or Not To Conference': invested in all kinds of training, but never went to conferences, so they were never on my radar. A few years ago, I heard about the local NEAPS conference and a colleague and I decided to check it out. We didn't expect to get much out of it, because we were both experienced. We were very pleasantly surprised! There was a great lineup of trainers giving workshops that year, among them Danny Cahill, who we both loved, and I've since gone on to invest in his training for recruiters in my office as well as his online monthly subscription. Jeff Skrensky (not sure on spelling), gave a great talk and there were others that had great tips that we were able to try out asap with our own businesses. I went again last year to the NEAPS conference and it was fantastic, with all new speakers from the previous time. It's just a two day conference, on Friday/Saturday, so doesn't take too much time away from work and is something I look forward to. I haven't gone to other industry conferences primarily because the price is more than double, the speakers are the same and there's usually a plane ride involved, which is added expense and I'm not crazy about flying. The NEAPS conference is always local, this year it's in Newport Rhode Island. I attend these conferences strictly to learn new things, not to network. For networking, I've gone to other conferences that are non-recruiting related, more industry or business specific. I have an interest in the cloud computing space and am looking to do more searches in that area, so last year went to the State of The Cloud conference in Boston which was fantastic and immediately resulted in a new client. This year, just a few days ago actually, I went to the Momentum Summit, held at MIT in Cambridge. It was a one day event geared to startups, investors, and entrepreneurs. It was fascinating and I will definitely be going to this one next year. There were a series of interviews with CEOs and VC's that funded them and they talked about the challenges they faced and how they grew their businesses. When those sessions ended, there was a discussion lunch, where they had breakout sessions with all kinds of topics. The one I attended was on generating buzz and PR for your business. I especially enjoyed Brian Halligan, CEO of Hubspot's talk on inbound marketing and leveraging social media to drive traffic to your business. So, for me, this conference was more about how to grow my business vs. recruiting and also networking with potential clients. Hope this helps. :)…; Added by pam claughton at 7:46am on March 26, 2011
