Here are a few quick tips, we had discussed in some of our earlier newsletters, that can help you succeed: 1. Paint a perfect picture: Use words to create a visual imagery of the benefits, new work environment, exciting challenges, etc. 2. Tell compelling stories: Tell the story behind a job opportunity. Use metaphors to make the story exciting. 3. Be contagious with your enthusiasm: Transfer your excitement and enthusiasm about the new job to your prospects and you are more likely to get the candidate or referrals. It takes considerable training, skill and insight to consistently transform your candidate leads into possibilities. But remember, you can realize the opportunities only if you don't fumble on your fist call.
