The staffing industry is cyclical by nature, as the frequency of job orders a staffing company receives are based on the demands of its clients. Typically, the holidays are a busy season for staffing companies that provide temporary workers, but now that the holiday season is well behind us, what comes next? If your business has slowed considerably, it’s time to develop a plan to attract job orders all year long.
Become A Magnet
To hedge against slow periods, build a pipeline of potential new clients. Your sales team is responsible for business development, but what if you could build relationships, establish trust and get potential clients to reach out to you (or at the very least, warm up some of those cold prospects)?
Winning prospects takes a great deal of time if you’re doing it the old-fashioned way and cold calling businesses. However, with the right marketing strategies and tactics in place, you can attract and nurture potential leads. How do you do that?
- Show how you’re different from other staffing companies.
- Illustrate the ways your differences add value.
- Demonstrate that you understand the things that matter to potential clients.
- Share information that prospects can actually use in their business.
- Help prospects become more successful.
Remember, people are bombarded with messages all day, every day. People have gotten used to shutting out noise. But if you provide them with useful, value-adding information that speaks directly to their needs, they will pay attention.
