Free Resource Reveals How to Generate More Leads in Under 2 Minutes
00:02:02
One thing I hear repeatedly from HR Consultants is their struggle with lead generation.
And that’s completely understandable.
After all, no HR Consultant went into self-employment so they could work in marketing.
But unfortunately, all business owners have to do their own marketing.
And that includes HR Consultants.
See, without marketing, there’s no sales - and without sales, there’s no business.
It’s that simple really.
But marketing isn’t that simple, unfortunately.
There’s loads to think about…
Posting on LinkedIn, DMs, lumpy mail, podcasting, email marketing, signature offers, retainer deals, etc. etc.
The list goes on.
And just when you think you’ve finally understood marketing, something comes along to challenge your thinking again.
So, what’s the solution? How can you understand what you should be doing?
Well, the solution is actually a lot more simple than you might it is.
⏰ In fact, you can find out in less than 2 minutes.
What's the solution?
👩🏫 Well, it's a simple marketing quiz made specifically for HR Consultants.
📊 In this quiz, you’ll answer 18 simple Yes or No questions and get unparalleled insight into your marketing activities.
You’ll discover…
What you’re doing well… what you could be doing better… and what you’re completely overlooking in your marketing activities.
So you'll understand what to change, what to continue and what to tweak so you get more leads, clients, sales and profits.
This simple quiz really is the easy step you can take to understand what needs to change in your business. 🚀
However, if you’re 100% happy with your business right now, then don’t worry about it.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
But if you're not 100% happy… if there’s a nagging thought in your head that you could be doing “more” but you aren’t sure “what” then this quiz could be the answer for you.
It’s simple… it’s free… and it’s specifically for HR Consultants. 🙌
Paralysed by “Blank screen syndrome,” knowing you need to write that website page to make sales, but not even knowing how to begin…
Posting on LinkedIn (because that’s what you’re supposed to do,) but getting crickets for the umpteenth time in a row.
Spending hours creating a proposal doc for a potential perfect-fit client, only to be ghosted… Again.
If so, then it sounds like your writing needs a complete overhaul.
And that’s where this week’s podcast episode comes into play. You'll discover:
👉 Why good copy isn’t a “nice to have,” it’s ESSENTIAL if you ever want clients to hire you.
👉 12 simple tips you can plug-in to your copywriting immediately to stand out from the masses of HR Consultants out there who are just copying and pasting from ChatGPT.
👉 What this 25-million copy author said about “stories,” and how you can leverage this tactic to generate unlimited leads and clients from LinkedIn.
👉 The hidden phrase that turns your copy from bland and banal, into captivating and compelling.
👉 How to make it EASY for people to want to work with you - without spending a single penny on advertising.
Overall, with AI getting smarter, and every consultant now able to write pretty good posts, having excellent copy is no longer optional. If you want to stand out, build a following and make consistent sales, you need to up your game.

5 Reasons HR Consultants Fail at Marketing – And How to Succeed Instead
00:28:37
HR Consultants typically go self-employed because:
They love HR.
They want more flexibility in their life.
They want to be their own boss.
They DON’T go self-employed so they can become an expert marketer.
But when one goes self-employed, one needs to do their own marketing.
And the lack of knowledge in this arena means most HR Consultants struggle to get the leads and clients they need to build a £70K HR Consultancy.
Instead, they build a prison for themselves of feast or famine.
Knowing that this is a crap situation - and one that you didn’t sign up for when you went self-employed, I recorded this podcast episode to shine a light on the struggles AND the solutions.
As such, in this episode you'll discover:
👉 The 5 biggest reasons why you're stuck in a feast or famine cycle - and what the solutions are.
👉 What you need to do every day in order to earn £70K or more (and I bet you aren't doing it yet...)
👉 Why posting on LinkedIn isn't marketing - and what you should do instead.
👉 How to turn leads into clients repeatedly and consistently - without being salesy or pushy.
👉 And, the 24/7 solution you can use to destroy your marketing, sales and copywriting woes forever and ever.

9 Marketing Truths That Will Make or Break Your HR Consultancy
00:27:09
HR Consultants often go self-employed because of a love for what they do, coupled with a desire to forge their own path.
Which is admirable, amazing, and I love seeing people take this bold step.
But here’s the thing:
Being an expert HR consultant doesn’t guarantee you’ll get all the leads and clients you need to earn the money you want.
In fact, going self-employed turns into a prison for many HR Consultants.
The constant feast-famine cycle of clients… knowing you need to network more often but dreading the idea… having just enough clients to stay afloat, but never enough to be confident of retirement… or even a 2 week holiday with the kids.
All this is due to a lack of fundamental knowledge about what marketing and sales actually IS - which is what this new podcast episode will change for you.
In less than 30 minutes, you’ll get more marketing and sales knowledge than a 6-week course that urges you to take “leap.”
You'll discover...
The 9 marketing principles that will take your HR Consultancy to the magic £70K/year and beyond mark.
24 marketing tactics you can implement in under an hour to get leads and clients without getting out of your pyjamas.
The one constant reaction you should prepare for from your audience as a HR Consultant (HINT - you probably already experience this every day)
The ridiculously tiny percentage of people who are ready to buy from you RIGHT NOW - and what to do about the vast majority who aren't.
Why you should treat ALL your clients like you’d treat Brad Pitt.
What NEVER to worry about (despite most likely) hearing about it repeatedly from your friends, family and LinkedIn connections.)
PLUS, how to destroy feast or famine forever by following the example of McDonald's.
The HRi have their annual conference on September 27th and this episode is dedicated to celebrate that and to try and persuade you to come along!
As such, I'm joined by Mary Asante, CEO of HRi and Charlotte Allfrey, Operations Director to discuss the event and what you'll get out of it if you join in the fun.
We'll be talking about...
The 6 Speakers and what each Speaker will talk about.
The overall theme of the conference and why it's so important to you as a HR Consultant.
The award ceremony to honour some incredible HR Consultants and their work.
The fantastic networking opportunities to help you build your community in the lonely endeavour of self-employment.
