Comment on: Blog Post 'Recruiting: Darwinism or Creationism?': media and tech available to us? It is difficult to balance both approaches as the computer usually wins in terms of time. How much time is wasted checking email, twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Facebook in order to stay current? It is easy to tell us to turn off the technology and get on the phone. But is it realistic? Now excuse me while I go update my blog, check what is new on LinkedIn, post a tweet and maybe make a call or two.…; Added by Ellen Clark at 9:26am on February 17, 2014

Topic: Ramp up time: This was about 5 years ago. We both have very strong sales backgrounds, MBAs and good professional networks. We are discussing details, but planning to focus on sales positions in both high tech and bio tech industries. I am curious as to other's experiences regarding ramp up time. Specifically, what is a realistic timeframe (coming in cold) before closing a deal. As far as volume, how many placements have people made in the first year, and how quickly have these numbers gone up in years 2-5?…; Added by James Richardson at 11:31am on June 1, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'Preparing for Counter Offers before they Occur!': tay where they are.... I don't cover counter offers because I only expect them to get a Counter .. I cover the issue as part of my technique when closing a candidate on a realistic base salary increase for his/her next move... If during the closing process I uncover that they will accept a Count Offer then I get deeper into the unforeseen issues that could come up on accepting one... My point in the end is, the Counter Offer issue has to be included in your close conversation... Instead of being treated as a separate issue ...…; Added by Paul Alfred at 6:22pm on November 18, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'How to Get Companies to Give YOU Their Job Orders': istic for most people". The reason is they just won't work hard enough to solve the problem . There is a difference between you won't do it or you can't do it. To say you won't do it makes sense. That's just a choice. There is considerable risk and overhead. To say you "can't" do it, only points to your lack of vision and limitations on solving complex problems. Let me tell you about a 24 year old kid who moved out to the stix by himself leaving all of his friends and family behind to build a business from scratch. He made zero on his first placement. Nobody could beat his "no profit" margins so of course he go the business. 4 years later, he's the leader in his nitch as a 28 year old with a liquid net worth of $2m. No trust fund, no assistance from anybody. Pure sweat and balls. You can't? You just haven't dug deep enough. Every article about "the pitch" cracks me up. The writer has to write something so obviously the lowest common denominator makes sense. Target the weak, inexperienced or the clueless (just like all media). You do realize nobody in their right mind is actually going to put into public print the TRUE "secret sauce" right? I mean you don't expect Coke to reveal their secret recipe anytime soon do you? The recipe that has built their multi-billon dollar business. Put it this way, don't you think it's rather easy to figure out the obvious superficial rehearsed made-up business sounding sales pitch vs. a confidence that comes from deep understanding and knowledge in the field? Seriously? The secret is what's not being said. You can't fake who you are. If you are a weak recruiter, if you're nothing special than it simply shows. If you have something special to offer, it become quite easy to talk about it.…; Added by Joshua Lee at 10:56pm on August 13, 2012
