<p>I agree with Suresh. If something works then go with it regardless of how new or different. You need to have someone use a product not just hear about it. If it's a good product it will sell itself.</p>

<p>A high percentage (99%) of the SMR preachers, teachers and coaches have not made a sendout in the past 2 or 3 years. If it worked - why aren't they doing it? Instead - they're running from town to town on the hot air express telling others they better get on it - or miss out.</p>
<p>And - for those members of the traveling conversation that read this - I like you guys. Great people - great fun. But business is business - and recruiting isn't getting done simply by talking about…</p>

<p>And - for those members of the traveling conversation that read this - I like you guys. Great people - great fun. But business is business - and recruiting isn't getting done simply by talking about community and raising Klout scores.</p>
<p>Here's in my drop dead daily goal: Do I have someone to tell my client about tomorrow? Yes? Great. I'm done. No? I'm not done. Period. So while Social Media is entertaining, etc. - if you're not making PRESENTATIONS - you know - actually discussing your product with someone qualified to buy - you're simply blowing hot air.</p> Well said Jeff and Sandra.

<p>Well said Jeff and Sandra.</p>
<p>I got no issue with people getting excited with what's new. Some of us who have gone through the dot com crash and some of the hype's even before that.

Thanks for this, I was about to decide that everybody in the space had lost site of actually setting up an interview and getting somebody hired or placed. It occurs to me that the recruiters who are producing are not blogging, tweeting, worrying about sexy web sites with buttons and whistles, spamming the world with automated drop shipping of what everybody else is blogging or tweeting and calling themselves an influencer or an authority. If recruiters are getting lost in the clutter of all…

If recruiters are getting lost in the clutter of all this nonsense, they have lost the focus of what we are supposed to do.
