Gordon and I began to sell today. Its a hard slog trying to speak to people who may be interested in training as they are inundated with callers. It strikes me that there must be a way for us to differentiate ourselves. We know we have a unique approach and we know we are great at what we do. Its just so hard to find a way of telling people about what we do without sounding like everyone else.
Cold calling can be daunting but I actually enjoy it. It helps me to find out what is interesting to the people I am trying to sell to. To be honest, I don't think I have actually made a sale over the phone but I hope to get better with practice. Most of our business comes through referrals or from answering requests for competitions.
Anyway - its all good - selling as best we can and trying always to be ethical and honest surely we will get there in the end.

Leadership at Hays
| Hemingway Corporation and Hays Plc launched the Hays International Management Academy this week. “Developing our team to be our business leaders of the future is part of our culture of meritocracy” said Nichola Nair HR Director - Continental Europe, Brazil, Canada & UAE. “We chose Hemingway Corporation to partner us because of their reputation for high standards and their ability blend many types of learning to create a programme that would standardise leadership internationally”. Kirsten Hemingway Arnold from Hemingway Corporation said “It is exciting to work with a company that places a high value on their team and really understands that training has to be effective not just motivational.” The academy consists of an assessment centre, a three day residential course, mentoring from within the company, four webinars, assignments and a two day residential course at the end. Following the programme each attendee will face a final interview panel for the role of a Hays Manager. |
