In most business-to-business or complex sale situations, online lead generation will get you more good leads, faster and at far less cost than offline tactics. But you have to do it right.
Here are five steps to ensure your online lead generation efforts deliver the greatest results.
Your goal should be to become highly visible and easy to find anywhere your prospects are hanging out or looking for products or services like yours. Unlike most offline advertising, you don't have to hit your prospects over the head to get their attention. They're already looking for you. Just be easy to find.

The Effective Way to Measure HR Efficiency
Posted on December 23, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
Measuring HR efficiency may be a bit difficult to achieve. But once you have relevant metrics at hand, the rest becomes a breeze.
If there is one thing to measure HR efficiency, then this would pertain to measuring HR performance ? every single aspect that pertains to the HR department and its operations and functions.
HR performance is comprised of the effectiveness of human resource management. At first bat, measuring HR performance can seem difficult to do, and you are right to think so. This is indeed one of the hardest aspects that you can measure in terms of organizational performance. When you compare this to other aspects of the organization, financial aspect, for instance, you cannot really say that you would have a strict set of metrics and parameters to use as basis when measuring HR performance and efficiency. The financial aspect of any organization would inevitably have that. People management, which is one of the most important aspects in HR performance, is less strict and more subjective or relative, so to speak.
The Roller Coaster Ride That Is Recruitment Jobs
Posted on December 18, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
If you've been in recruitment jobs for some time you'll know that it's not the most of consistent pursuits you'll ever find. Indeed for even the most successful of recruitment consultants, filling recruitment jobs consistently is like trying to find the end of the rainbow. Consequently, you need to equip yourself mentally to handle the constant ups and downs that accompany jobs in recruitment.
There are many triggers which may cause a 'recruitment storm'. Some of these can be generated by the recruitment consultant themselves, such as distractions from outside of work, perhaps boredom or even complacency are some of the more obvious. Or, the cause may be more external and beyond your control, such as new competitors in your market or other market changes, or perhaps changes in the companies recruitment advertising spend. Either way, a downturn on your results, even if on the grand scale of things is normal, can be quite devastating and demoralising.
Cover Letters To Uncover The You, Not Hide It
Posted on December 8, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
Any great resume that has won an interview call, would have most certainly been accompanied by a great cover letter. For, resumes only do half the job, with the cover letters doing the rest to draw the employers attention amidst a huge, somewhat uninviting, pile of resumes at the desk. While resumes are the backbone of your profile, cover letters are those that give it a shape and form. It complements the resume further in bringing out the actual you before the readers, who are usually the HR personnel.
An HR department receives tons of such applications everyday and it’s indisputably a boring task to go through all of them and call the right candidates. So, to get yourself noticed, your application should scream out in style. Both the resume and the cover letter must be impressive enough to avoid ending up in the waste bin.
The Speculative Approach To A Graduate Job
Posted on November 7, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
A speculative, "if by any chance" approach to inquiring about job availabilities can be an affective method of landing a graduate job. Let's face it once you've graduated, you spent countless hours trawling through all of the graduate jobs boards and newspaper adverts, but no doubt there are going to be a lot that do not impress you in the slightest. Many people out there do have the approach of only wanting their dream job, until then they will continue working in their current, most probably part time job that they used to fund them whilst in University. Although I can't really recommend that you take this approach and sit and wait patiently for your job of choice to arrive, many graduates and people who have been in full time employment for a longer period of time tend to take a speculative approach in an attempt to gain employment with the company of their choice.
3 Simple Ways To Break Out Of A Career Rut
Posted on November 3, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
I have to admit something. I've been nothing less than overwhelmed by
the unpacking, fixing, cleaning up, arranging, and decorating in our
new home.
Let's just say I haven't been too pleasant to be around.
I look around and see boxes that haven't been touched yet. "Stuff"
that still doesn't have a home. And of course, things I want to
change and fix in every room.
And I've gotten stuck. I'm no longer making any progress.
Then a colleague of mine said to me last night, "You know, you really
need to live in a home for awhile before you can figure out what it
should look like. It will be awhile before it will look the way you
want it to look. Oh, and why don't you just aim for one box a day or
even a week?"
Managing Expectations
Posted on October 24, 2008 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
Earlier this year we looked at some techniques for dealing with objections (Objection Handling Technique 2007-04-20 ) As part of that article I mentioned that unrealistic expectations on behalf of the prospect can sometimes be misunderstood and treated as objections by the sales person.
So first let’s recap, an objection is a reasonable concern on behalf of the prospect, an unrealistic expectation on the other hand is not a reasonable concern and needs to be dealt with differently as part of the selling process. When a prospect has an unrealistic expectation we first need to try to understand why?
