QUESTION: Ever asked (screamed?) this ever-so-frustrating question, “Where have all the good employees gone?”
ANSWER: They are all WORKING! Your solution? YOU need to ‘work’ as in get out there and ‘recruit’ them as in…
Always be competing for quality employees to share your vision! Why? With the “right people” “Growing Your Business” will be fun, easy and VERY profitable. BUT if you…
Hire the wrong employee(s) your company (and life) will become ‘hell on earth’! (And yes, I learned this one the hard way!) So therefore…
I was always watching for restaurant servers (including “fast food” employees) and other workers that “managed my experience” well. The bonus for me? These lower paid (and often poorly treated) workers were almost always eager to switch careers! In fact, they viewed becoming one of my service techs as a step up in their professional career! The key to success is to…
Recruit service personnel that display “Servant Leadership”.
So be alert for restaurant wait staff, gas station attendants, retail store clerks and others that just naturally provide great Moments of Truth. Then “make your move”!
NOTE: In our 3-hour online SFS: Hiring the Very Best! LIVE seminar I share 100’s of recruiting tips and other creative hiring strategies! (Click HERE for upcoming dates.) Want to start recruiting today? Then read on…
1. Print up your normal business cards with the reverse side saying: “Looking for a great career opportunity?” and list out the benefits that your company offers.
2. When you encounter a hard working employee with a great attitude introduce yourself and say…
3. “I’m impressed with your attitude. My company is always looking for great employees. I’m writing my personal cell number on this card. Check us out online and give me a call if you’d like to see what we can offer you.” (By writing your personal number on the card in front of your prospective new hire they will feel “honored”!)
Since these workers will be low on the wage/benefit scale the job you have will be viewed as a step up! Keep a stable of eager pre-screened and pre-interviewed “Employees in Waiting” and you will avoid the dangerous “Desperation Hiring” Trap! (Don’t ask me how I learned this one!)
