Recruiting is not at the top of the list for a lot of businesses these days. A lot of companies are laying off by the thousands. So why should we recruit in this down economy?
Here’s 9 reasons why:
1. New recruits bring new contacts with them
2. New recruits come with new energy and excitement
3. New recruits are willing to be be trained to start earning money quickly
4. New recruits fresh new approaches to tap into new markets
5. New recruits add to the morale of the company
6. New recruits cause veterans to stay on their toes
7.New recruits who want it bad enough go after it
8. New recruits are likely to be around to capture even more business when the market turns around
9. Lastly, new recruits who make it through a tough season will most likely make it through another one

Perhaps you have heard the statement, "people make the world go round." People are the essence of social networking. But just what does a person do when they are doing their best and things just do not seem to be working out?
It is amazing how huge a challenge seems when we are living through it. It seems as though it will never come to can end. We must remember that seasons come and go and so do challenges. What might seem like an extended season of "dumpsville" it is just a season. It came and it will go. Nothing lasts forever as much as it seems like it will.
So here you are in the season of your life where you are doing all you can do and your best efforts keep you coming up on the short end of the stick. You are doing all the right activity. You are spending tons of money. You are connecting with all the right people. Yet there just does not seem to be that breakthrough you have been anticipating.
What do you do? Keep social networking.
Here is why you should keep social networking:
1. To stay connected with people
2. To keep your offering in front of the eyes and ears of others
3. To establish a sense of reliability in your mind and in the mind and others
4. To increase your favor in working large numbers
5. To prepare yourself for the new season that is coming
One of the most genuine activities we can ever be involved in is social networking. We have to remember that if we are not connecting with people we limit our chances of getting through the season of "dumpsville." This is when we have to breakthrough in our philosophy of life. We have to decide to keep the decision we made when we first stated to pursue success. Even when things look glim, we have to stick to our guns. The decision we made when we had a great attitude and tremendous hope is a major factor in concluding the season we are in and moving to the next one.
Stay in the game,
Ced Reynolds Career Recruiter

Using audio in your marketing campaign can mean the difference between night and day. Working on the internet is a wonderful tool but it has limited emotional connection unless you’re a wonderful writer. The best of writers can do well without audio but us who just write OK can use all the help we can get.
I know many people talk about video being better than audio. In my opinion video is a little bit more complicated because you have to prepare to be seen and heard vs. just preparing to be heard on audio. I’ve done both and actually do both. But the media I prefer which is much faster to prepare for and also get others to participate with me is audio.
Let’s get back to the benefits of using audio.
1. Audio can bring an emotional connection with your audience that gives them a sense of who you are.
2. Audio allows you to tell your story in your own words to those who prefer hearing a voice rather than reading.
3. Audio gives your clients another option to better understand what you are communicating.
4. Audio along with the written word reinforces what you intend to communicate.
5. Audio adds a little flare to your presentation.
6. Audio sets you apart from your competitors.
7. Audio gives you a professional advantage.
8. Audio says to your clients that you care enough to go the extra mile.
9. Audio intrigues your client because it’s different.
10. Audio helps you learn your craft because you want to impress those who listen.
There are lots of fun things you can do with audio. I use it because it’s quick to set up and it gives me an upfront advantage when I’m trying to connect with first time readers of my blog. Hope you received something of value here.
Stay after it,

No matter how things get, it is so important to stick to your schedule. In fact if you don't have a schedule you're subject to get off track and stay off track for a long time and not notice that you re drifting from your intended assignment. For years I had intentions of doing things during the course of a day but I would find myself floating all over the map. It's not that I wasn't busy. I was just busy doing things that weren't IPA (Income Producing Activity).
IPA is any a activity that has the potential to lead you to a transaction. For example, making phone calls to prospective clients is IPA if the phone call has the potential to lead to an appointment for a meeting. A meeting is IPA if it has the potential of leading to a listing or attaining a prospective buyer. There are a host of IPA's that we should do daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually.
Here's what my ideal daily and weekly IPA is: I say ideal because I haven't perfected it yet. It's the human part of me that keeps blowing it. lol...
Blogging - I blog at least three times a week in various social networks. When time permits I blog more. Blogging is my way of staying connected with people I know and a great opportunity to meet new people. (90 minutes weekly)
Phone Calls - I make at least 3 phone calls a day to give away free business directory listings and free business risk assessment tools to Realtors, Insurance Agents, Financial Planners and other business owners. The directory listings are valuable to the professionals I speak with because they give additional exposure among other B2B professionals. The risk assessment tool is valuable because it helps the professionals understand the functionality of their business in 5 different categories. It can also be used by the professional to help their own business clients. (90 minutes weekly)
Email - I send an email campaign to my list of prospects weekly. These are people who have double opted in to my receive my newsletter. The email campaign varies. It will most often be something generic that is non-salsey. Sometimes I give away a valuable free internet tool or offer marketing tips.(20 minutes weekly)
Talkcast - I do a talkcast (podcast) weekly to provide inspiration and encouragement to business associates. Often the talkcast is related to one of my blogs. There is always a tag at the end of my talkcast letting people know how to contact me. (30 minutes weekly)
Networking - I network once a week with a group of Realtors where we exchange marketing ideas and share leads. (60 minutes weekly)
SEO - Search engine optimization is big part of my weekly activity. At least 3 times a week I am submitting my syndicated blogs to the search engines. I use what's called a daisy change approach to get traffic to my blogs and talkcasts which attracts new readers and listeners. (120 minutes weekly)
The key for me is sticking to my schedule. Of course there are times when I get off track. What I do to help myself stay on track is post it on my white board in my office. Another key is planning the night before so I get up understanding that my day is already mapped out. This is absolute key for me. Even this particular blog was planned out the night before.
Off to give away my free business directory listings and business risk assessment tools.
Make today the best day of your life,
Ced

Once in a while I come across a person who wants to know about community legal services. For the most part they have reached the lowest limits of their financial situation. One of the most unfortunate things is to need legal help and not know where to get it or be able to afford it.
One thing that most middle income folks who fall on hard times don't know is that when they fall below the middle income level, there are a host of free services provided for them. Of course because they have never had to access them before they have no idea of these services. One of these services is community legal services. The good thing about the internet today is all a person has to do is Google what they are looking for and they can find it. Unfortunately one of the last things that is on the mind of a person in a stressful life event is Google.
Although community legal services offer help to lower income families, what does a middle income family do when they need legal services? After all even the middle class in today's economy would have a tough time securing legal help if it was needed. The equity in our homes used to be our safety net. Today it's sort of a toss up. It will depend on where the economy is on the given day you were in need of legal assistance.
With community legal services only being available to lower income families and the middle income families not qualifying there has to be a better way. There is. It's called Prepaid Legal Services.
Did you know that 80% of Europeans have a Prepaid Legal Plan? Did you know that less than 3% of Americans even know about Prepaid Legal Services. Those in the Real Estate and financial services field for the most part have heard of it. But only a fraction of the Realtors and Financial Services professionals I know own a Prepaid Legal Plan.
If you are looking for a way to better serve your clients before they fall into hard times, consider learning the benefits of owning a Prepaid Legal Plan.

There is lots of talk about viral marketing. But can we go beyond viral marketing? The truth is yes we can. In fact all we have to do is re-incorporate our offline marketing as part of our viral marketing plan. Many people who discover the internet fall so much in love with it because it's easy to hide and not have to deal with rejection so much. What that does is leave a wide open opportunity for those folks who understand the benefits of working offline and online simultaneously.
Have you discovered the power of going beyond viral marketing? I hope you have because it is what the pros do. Pros understand people and wherever they are able to connect with people that is where you'll find them.
Online and offline marketing is beyond approach. Here are a keys you might want to incorporate in your marketing plan. Remember these are things you can do online and offline.
1. Network Meetings
2. Niche Marketing
3. Loyal Customers Marketing
4. Prospect Marketing
5. Suspect Marketing
Go for it and see what happens in your business. Just imagine the number of angles you will be approached regarding your business. What's better, 1 or 5 or 6? I'll take 5 or 6 everyday.
