"Our company is going to attend, en masse, the full day with Jeff Skrentny in Houston in January and then the next day we'll have our annual company kickoff meeting.    We see it as a great opportunity to combine the best available training with the start of a new year and new business plan.    I've heard Jeff speak before and I can't think of a better way to start the new year.    I've heard his material for this program is fresh and new and "right on the money" with regard to our recruiting challenges and I can't wait to hear his keynote which sounds life changing."  - A Houston owner and long term HAAPC/TAPC member


Attached you will find the full description of Jeff's opening keynote session, his day-long "Radical Recruiting" program, and a short bio.    The programs in Dallas and Houston are identical - please note the location in each city and the correct person to RSVP to for each city.

...Kevin also is&nbsp;the current President of the&nbsp;Metroplex Association of Personnel Consultants and has been on the TAPC board of directors for the last two years&nbsp;and&nbsp;is quickly&nbsp;becoming one of the up and coming speakers in our industry.&nbsp;

...Fran volunteers professionally on the Board of Directors for NAPS (National Association of Personnel Services), is Past President of MAPS (Massachusetts Association of Personnel Services), Past Vice President of MSA (Massachusetts Staffing Association), Board of Advisors for Minuteman Technical Regional High School, and currently teaches Interviewing Skills to Northeastern University's College of Business. ...

...He was a founding and board member of the Pinnacle Society recognizing achievement in the staffing industry, a national speaker for the National Association of Personnel Consultants (NAPS), served on the Board of Directors of the Texas Association of Personnel Services (TAPS), was an officer with the Metroplex Association of Personnel Services (MAPS) and a founder of the local Dallas Independent Recruiters Group (IRG). 

...Scott is a top rated speaker at state, regional, national, and international conferences for organizations including National Association of Personnel Services; World President&rsquo;s Organization, National Technical Services Association, Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services, and many more.  

...Then it is time to arm yourself for more complex objections (HR involvement as they circle their wagons to defend their deteriorating territories, fee agreements, candidate submissions through an employer&rsquo;s web-based system, contingency to retained service, openings outside your market)&hellip;the type you will see even more of in the future, as this market continues to change at a rapidly escalating rate. 


...Instant take aways include:  How to polish your own presentation skills to drive sales, how to leverage consultative language to overcome client and candidate objections, how to leave voicemails that trigger job orders and immediate call backs, the key steps to choreographing client visits that result in instant sales activity, and simple techniques to measure and forecast your daily ROI!


...Some issues we&rsquo;ll explore are:  Full service desk or separate client development and candidate development?-pros and cons, fee as a percentage or flat fees?, retainer, engagement, or straight contingency?, buy a big space and fill it with recruiters or hire virtual recruiters?, are researchers pass&eacute;?, non competes a plus or a headache?, low draw/high commission costing you good recruiters?, what technology tools do you need and which are toys?, what are the new ratios in a voice mail and email dominated world?  

...You will walk away from this session with a clear understanding of how anyone can increase sales and income by knowing the simple rules of selling and employing them throughout the many opportunities that present themselves each and everyday.
