Going wrong to get right

Subject: When sales markets go wrong, or when others don't hire 

Typical offenses:

1.) Ghosting and sub-ghosting. Refers to total potential client disappearance despite wanting or showing desire. Clue or no clue, unacceptable. Soon will be outlawed in LOAs or made too costly to consider. Here's a related link: https://povblogger.blogspot.com/2019/02/short-bursts-ghosting-time-flies-and.html?m=1

Ghost One: See link "short bursts."

Sub-ghosting refers to vanishing and then denying everything that was either agreed upon or done in sub-full.

2.) Pricing. Few can afford true professional services. Either because they expect more than what's perceived or because everything can be cheaper in a commodity-driven world.

3.) No high profile or brand, no premiums. Sad but true. Always has been, may always be.

What's the solution? Challenge status quo. Prove value with shared or in common examples. Keep moving to find better character...and characters. 

Btw: Latter can be fun and productive no matter what happens. 

Cheers,

All it takes is...

Every now and then, a client subject will achieve the absolute unthinkable when looking for a job -- over time.

Consider profile first and end result a little bit later. Profile: 60+-year-old, consultant and business owner. Expert and longtime worker in telecommunications, which now may be reaching advanced "horse and buggy" status when it comes to true innovation. He's also a Caucasian Man who has seen things from every which way, but the loose.

But that's quite alright. What some companies lack are actual brains, hearts, hands and feet that know how to do things together because they know it through and through. And even if they don't know it, lack of courage will prevent actual progress.

While there may be change in the J-O-B, there isn't as much when it comes to finding a specialized industry expert. Artificial Intelligence (AI) also will be mainstream soon. But not in the form of a human being.

The fact that this type of client, who also became a friend, now will be employed by a major company provides pause. And affirmation that if you never, never give up (Winston Churchill), then victory will happen.

God bless the hiring market -- and this good to great person -- who finally has earned what he deserves. Amen,
