Darwin Agency: Web Maintenance to Custom Projects’ Post

First day, week, month...new managers get absolutely pelted with outreach requests to set up calls to sell a service/product. I haven't seen one stand out yet. I do my best to respond with "happy to connect on LinkedIn, but not accepting pitches at this time," which, between the lines, says: "Can you give me a minute? I literally just sat down." It's like when my kids start telling me their plans for the entire week when I'm brushing my teeth Monday morning. Think about it. New employees: 1. Often have a lot to do before even cracking open a considered set for new vendors. 2. May be motivated to nurture existing resources to avoid further delays, costs, and spinning wheels. 3. Appreciate a simple, thoughtful introduction vs. a hard pitch - shoot, that goes for anyone, anytime. But first is always best. If you're not calling, you're losing, right? 🤔 An outreach strategy for that "newly hired" audience that involves strategic waiting and observing has longer, stronger legs. Give it go! 🏃♀️

Working as a recruiting leader for over 10 years, I can't tell you the number of times I was told by vendors that I needed to “wait longer” or “give it more time” to see results from a campaign. Typically what happened is I just waited long enough to waste a bunch of money. But I figured that was just the cost of doing business and an unavoidable part of testing new vendors. After working at TMG for 6 months, I realize I was wrong. If marketing really works, there’s no reason you can’t see great results right away. We see it time and time again with our clients. And it’s the norm, not the exception. For example, our 2 most recent lead gen clients have already generated 31 combined hires at a $1,500 CPH, in less than 2 months. (With plenty more hires to come as those leads/spending continue to mature.) I know when I spent money with a vendor, I wanted results RIGHT NOW, not 6 months from now. I had trucks to fill today. With the right marketing partner, great performance on a quick timeline is totally achievable.

Once you establish these two things, getting leads for your (staffing and recruiting) firm is easy: 1. Specific niche 2. Specific pain Keyword: Specific. You cannot serve anyone with any problem. So, take a look at your current marketing strategy. When conducting outreach, does every lead you reach out to feel that you are specialized for their niche/industry, that you know exactly how the industry operates, that you have worked with firms/businesses/people just like them, etc. One way you can make these prospects feel heard is by calling out a very specific problem they have. For example, one staffing firm may say: We place job seekers with a motivated mindset in positions with our corporate clients. Another may say: We place pre-vetted software developers in tech firms, reducing the costs associated with frequent developer turnover and the training required for project integrations You tell me which sounds more specialized.

If agencies and consultants weren't worth it, the model wouldn't exist in the first place. 🧑🏫 DevriX turned 14 last month, and we've helped over a hundred SMEs launch, scale, optimize, and automate platforms and systems in different stages of their growth cycles. Many were in collaboration with in-house teams or other agencies. Tech firms have hired us as their marketing partner and marketing teams hired us as a tech vendor. 👉 Realizing that limited resources and focus are better spent elsewhere - or solving a problem with a well-equipped team is easier than hiring 8 people for a job - is the premise of delegation and elevation. We've hired agencies in-house as well for core services we don't offer in-house, and work with Key Opinion Leaders as consultants to infuse the latest industry trends and pain points valid right now. It's only natural. 🥷 And I participate in several agency groups and accelerators (and have quarterly 1:1s with agency leaders) to keep refining our services and value props, and apply this know-how to our portfolio of clients. Chris Walker dropped this value bombed in his latest post (linked below) that clearly sums up why discarding this option is an omission. Yes - just like hiring or finding a job is a hit-or-miss, so is signing up for a vendor or onboarding an agency. The root of all evil is in expectation setting and forgetting that business is conducted between people (executives, VPs, account managers), not companies. 📶 Working with the right agency or consultant can easily revamp your entire roadmap in the next 6 months.

Cold emails live or die by relevance. Perfect personalization falls flat if it doesn’t match a prospect’s current priorities. That's where sales triggers come in. They signal when a buyer may be open to exploring a solution: 1. New leadership hired 2. Funding raised 3. Acquisition 4. New office 5. Hiring 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 - 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦. Trigger-based outreach + personalization is what are going to drive results. (and a lead magnet) And you can automate the entire process. What triggers drive the highest response rates in your experience?

As a business owner, recruiter, mother, wife, friend and everything in between my to-do list each day sometimes feels never ending.. One item that was put by the way side, was updating our Google Business Information. I've successfully scratched this off my list, but realised we've only got one google review.. this would be due to the fact we use other systems to obtain service-level feedback and client satisfaction surveys etc. To help make our business look stronger on google, if you've had dealings with Axia Recruitment I'd really appreciate a review or two! If your review is less than 4 ⭐ I'd be very suprised, but would appreciate knowing why and you can reach me via DM, phone or email to discuss how we can improve. Link in comments!

The Blackout on LI, FB, Insta, etc, just proves that all platforms are vulnerable and the idea we can't live with without them is ridiculous, they are a tool in the tool box. (they make our jobs easier, but new ones pop up everyday) The bigger issue is how recruiters/sourcers have this idea about keeping notes and tracking pipeline through any public digital tool is extremely problematic. You are relying on: 1. Data is never going to be corrupt and that you will always have access to it... 2. Your company will continue to pay for subscriptions so that you have access to your pipeline. Recruiters and Sourcers need to be in the mindset that the data you have access to now may not be available tomorrow. With prices of ALL tools increasing two-fold the past couple of years, at some point organizations are going to stop paying. We need to make sure we manage our pipelines in a way that we always have access to them. The goal should always be to build your pipeline so that you don't have to rely on these tools in the future. #ihaveamilliondreams for #talentacquisition #recruiting #sourcing
