Comment on: Topic 'The Economy, How to set yourself up for success when the market slows': ood split partners, you can benefit from the leverage you would have at an agency. And as you said, a split or two a month can keep your billing more consistent, especially when things slow down. ~Pam Dean Lockett said:Great post Pam! I was watching this show last night, http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838512?__source=vty|bigidea|&par=vty and it hit on our market in a couple of ways. One that I thought was interesting was a guy that had a business, wanted to expand, but the banks weren't open to lending him money right now. He went to his clients that were using his products and raised 175K to help with expansion. They were already using his products and believed in it.Another is the clip about overcoming fear in uncertain times video, not a lot of meat there but some tidbits that could apply to our desk and what we are working on.Skip the clip on Careerbuilder, I think any one of us could have done that one, but I understand that they have to keep it simple.I was reaching out to a member yesterday and am still going to follow up with them, but covering a point that you mention under - "Keep an eye on Trends" Here is something I found on Smart Grids in the energy/utilities industry that was interesting. When I first read it, I stated on chat it was a 100mm earmark already approved, but I went back to it last night and it reads "per year the next 4 years - 2008 - 2012" - that's 400MM already earmarked for this sector! With Europe and other countries promoting it, that would make it a global effort! Pinch me if I'm reading this wrong. Take a quick read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_gridI was thinking of starting a discussion on future trends and might still do something like that, but it was going to focus on the baby boomer market and the millennium generation. Always trying to take some time to think about what these generations will be/and are buying/interested in. Throwing out a few...remember the "Pet Rock?" someone made some serious money there. What about things people buy for their pets, billions being spent there, IPod, home health services (I'm sure some of us have seen that become important with our parents or grandparents already) there are many more, this will just get people started to think about these trends. These types of trends create opportunities in many ways, in many departments.Think about your current clients, who do they do business with, who are their suppliers? There are probably many opportunities that expand within our current portfolios.I gotta throw this one out there - consider doing more split business with your partners ;-) Just 1 split a month could help carry you and your split partner through tougher times.I was just proofing this and when I saw IPod and pet rock and pets...what about PetPods?Have a great weekend! …; Added by pam claughton at 12:21pm on September 26, 2008

Topic: Coffee is for Closers: last post is referencing what I believe to be one of the best monologues in movie history by Alec Baldwin in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. For any of you who want to see the clip, here is the YouTube video. (disclaimer - there is some foul language) Regardless of what anyone might think, recruiting is sales - and in many respects, sales at it's finest. Successful recruiters are able to develop a relationship with client on the premise that they have the unique ability to develop relationships with a "product" that literally has a life of it's own. Furthermore, the "product" you are "selling" has the unique ability to turn down the buyer! Whether you are pitching your value to a client or the opportunity to a candidate, you are selling. Sales is a game of action and with this, I write my last column as a summary of previous posts with a simple call to action: DO. Don't come up with excuses, don't get down because of the economy, don't avoid the difficult decisions, don't allow yourself to rationalize any irrational behavior. Simply DO. Pick up the phone. Launch that marketing campaign. Spend your advertising budget. Update your customer pitch to reflect their evolving needs during the recession. Raise your fees. Lower your fees. Restructure your fees. Build your candidate database. Get a lead from a reference check. Try that new product. Ditch the old product. Hire that new sales person. Switch the under-performer to commission only. Track results. DO. DO. DO. This economy is not going to get any better simply by sitting around and waiting for it to improve. Many companies that are laying off are also hiring at the same time. Businesses grow when businesses operate. I have heard many people complain about how their customers are not spending while at the same time they are not spending any of their own budgets. You need to operate in a planned and methodical fashion, but business will not happen unless you at least operate. It has been said that we can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. Most people, surprisingly, do not take action. So stand out, and DO. Coffee is for closers.…; Added by Adam Peterson at 2:22am on February 24, 2009
