Where You Need to Focus Right Now

Right before Christmas, Sharran Srivatsaa sent an email to his readers with some advice on where leaders should focus in Q1.

Stay Close to Your Prospects. Call them.  Talk to them.  Over communicate quick emails, texts, and texts.  

Deliver on What You Promised. Connect with them (‘short and personal’ beats ‘big and public’).

Grow Your Brand. Fame is the most efficient business model. If Oprah tweeted about you tomorrow, your business would explode.

No one’s coming to build your brand for you. Keep the content machine rolling. You’re getting there if new prospects say: ‘I’ve heard of you…’

Focus on Your Pipeline. Good entrepreneurs create deals today. Great ones build pipelines for tomorrow.

Here’s how people mess up–they stop lead gen. Don’t do it. The person with the best pipeline wins.

While Sharran’s advice is generally pointed towards agents and sales leaders, these principles apply to recruiters and hiring managers, as well.

Now is the time to recalibrate and get focused on the stuff that will move the needle in the months ahead.

While these attrition constants still have the greatest influence, there are some emerging attrition variables worth noting. People also tend to leave companies when: They feel like they’re not doing as well as others in their peer group outside the company. They feel like they’re not as far along as they should be at a certain point in life.

If you’re not focusing most of your retention effort on these issues, you’ll miss the mark. If you’re not focusing most of your recruiting effort on exploiting these weaknesses among your competitors, you’re missing the best opportunities.

The Persistence Mindset

The Persistence Mindset

A leader equipped with this mindset can have a profound effect on the life and career of each individual they engage. It works because an agent is getting a real-time glimpse of what it would be like to work on your team. But it only becomes believable when it is persistently applied over time.
