Comment on: Topic 'No one returns emails or calls any more. Did professionalism go out the door wi…': rt, and a smirk that said, “90% of you newbies will never make it past the first 60 days.” We had to learn the “pitch”, and it went something like this, “Hi, my name is Jack Young I’m an executive recruiter I take it you know what I mean.” Depending on whether you were cold calling a candidate or a client you then went further in your spiel with, CANDIDATE: “I’m calling you today because I just received a fabulous assignment to recruit a Director of Operations for a wonderful manufacturing company in your area, and I was wondering if you’d be interested in hearing about this opportunity?” Jill, apropos your discussion from the CLIENT SIDE circa 1986, “I was calling you today because I just met an incredibly talented Director of Operations. I’m handling a search for another distribution company, and frankly, this particular Director of Ops is too senior for my current client company. Do you think you’d be interested in hearing about this very talented operations professional?” Here’s a laugh from these pre-scripted call days; I worked with another new recruiter “Bob”. Bob really took the training literally, and committed to memory the opening phrase, “Hi my name is Bob I’m an executive recruiter I take it you know what I mean.” Well, we all worked off of paper company lists at the time, and you simply were “dialing for dollars”, not paying too much attention to who, what and where. Bob is on his umpteenth call of the day, and about twelve of us in the “recruiting bullpen” were making calls, and hated hearing Bob and his inane rendition of, “Hi my name is Bob I’m an executive recruiter I take it you know what I mean.” Finally, Bob get’s the next potential client or candidate on the phone, and he starts his pitch when all of a sudden we hear him say, “Hi my name is Bob I’m an executive recruiter I TAKE IT I KNOW WHAT I MEAN”. Jill, I’ve laughed a lot during my years in this business, but maybe never harder than hearing Bob utter that one phrase. Imagine the thoughts going on in the mind of the person listening to that pitch. It is amazing with this training I ever survived in the business. On and on, evolving and evolving we’ve trekked. Always trying to professionalize our approach, and gain entre' to the next great client, or superstar “Operations Manager”. I find myself having morphed from newbie/novice salesman, agency proprietor, to seasoned showman/schmoozer. A day does not go by where I’m not formulating a strategy of how to break into an account. How can I reinvigorate enthusiasm with a long standing client company that’s been hit hard by the economic downturn? No one returns my calls, where has professionalism gone was the salesman’s lament in 1986; it is still a challenge to overcome today in 2009. The biggest difference is that the snub can emanate from so many different forms of media. Our email can be ignored, our voicemail can be ignored, our text can be ignored, and the greatest indignity of all, our Tweet can be ignored… I posted a blog on April 23rd. titled “I just want someone to call me” http://www.allowmetointroducemyself.com/blog/ from the 100’s of candidate calls I receive and their pleas for help in connecting with a potential hiring authority or recruiter that can offer them some hope. Man, I don’t want to be preaching, (particularly to this choir), but many of us face the same challenge as the candidate(s) wanting audience with a hiring manager. Reinvent, or as our President sold us, “change”… and so I shall. I’ve reinvented my recruiting model for the fourth time in 23 years. This incarnation is the most drastic, innovative, and circular in design. I’ve tried to consider the most glaring needs of the client, candidate, and recruiter. This new model gives me reason, and purpose to reach out to 23 years of connections. I won’t be sending a single postcard, letter or facsimile. There’ll be links to PowerPoint presentations stored online. Announcements throughout the Social Networking community, and yes, old fashion phone calls to my most valued accounts. Jill, I need to be extraordinarily compelling in my message. I need to be inventive in my service, and need to employ strategic risks that look good on paper, but are wholly unproven in practical application. I can do this because I am convinced my plan is solid, and the implementation benefits everyone. I’m leaving emails regarding this launch that are being returned. I’m calling my client base with a message that goes something like this, “Hi, it’s Jack Young, and I would like to speak to you about a new recruiting solution for your company. I’ve crafted a unique way for us to work together that will dramatically reduce your cost in utilizing my service, and provide you greater access to my network.” I’m receiving a call back of about 90% of the time. As a maniacal Class A lunatic, the 10% not responding still drives me nuts. My attitude is once the program roles out and gains it’s first, and second success, the ten-percenters will come along as well. Be compelling, be beyond excited, be positive – if you believe you are calling with a product or service that will definitely improve the functionality, productivity, and profitability of a company, and that belief is born from solid research and experience, keep calling until the CEO, President or owner of the company tells you to stop!…; Added by Jack Young at 3:49pm on May 13, 2009
