“Selling the Service”
St. Louis, March 22, 2018
Location:
One City Place Drive
Lower Level Auditorium
Creve Coeur, MO 63141

8:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. - Live Presentation with Carol Wenom
Who Should Attend: Selling the Service is designed for tenured account executives and recruiters with a more strategic focus on developing client relationships.
The Principle: This session weighs the different types of search services you can offer to your client and the pluses and minuses of each. But more importantly, it goes deep into a discussion of how you develop the kind of relationship with your client that moves you to a "preferred provider" status, and provides ideas that you can implement to forge better and deeper relationships with your clients.
The Message: One of the single biggest things that catapulted my billings from "average" to "Pinnacle level" was how I viewed my relationships with my clients and then how I executed that vision. There are some significant changes that you can make in how you interact with and engage your clients that will take you from "transactional recruiter" to "Preferred Provider." This session will dissect the relationship between client and recruiter. We'll examine how you got to where you are, and then give you the tools to forge a new level of relationship to take your business and your billings to the next level.
This event is $69 for MKSSA members and $89 for non-members. If you register three or more for the program you will receive a 10% discount. Register Here!
