Potential Problem: Clients taking recruiting in-house, bringing in other competitors, or going DARK.
Automation Goal: Solidify your relationships with clients.
If you lose visibility, you will lose market share. A flexible workforce is less expensive, especially in uncertain times. Make sure your clients know you’re ready and willing to help them grow. Provide value, stay top-of-mind, and help your clients survive and plan ahead. Use automation as one way to show you care about their pain points, provide resources, and demonstrate the ROI of your services.
Effective Sales Automations:
- Welcome series introducing new clients to your firm
- Re-engagement campaign for inactive clients
- Feedback survey to gauge client satisfaction and gather testimonials
Potential Problem: Revenue Loss
Automation Goal: Don’t abandon your tech!
Many staffing companies slam on the brakes when it comes to investing time or money in technology during a recession. Although slashing tech spending may help you survive during the recession, you’ll be in a weak position after the economic downturn. Analytics give you insight into your business, how the recession is affecting it, and where your opportunities lie. Automation can expand your reach in the market, enable your sales force to better leverage their time, sell new services, and lower your sales and recruiting costs!
