13 Jul 2024Free Resource Reveals How to Generate More Leads in Under 2 Minutes00:02:02

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. 🙌

So check it out now.

And if you have any Qs you know where I am.

  • 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.

24 Jul 20245 Reasons HR Consultants Fail at Marketing – And How to Succeed Instead00:28:37

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.

So check out this episode today and get all this - and much, much more.

04 Sep 20249 Marketing Truths That Will Make or Break Your HR Consultancy00:27:09

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.

So tune in and get all this and more.

Most HR Consultants have a fundamental misunderstanding of what LinkedIn is and how to best use the platform.

Meaning, they're wasting their time firing posts and DMs into the void.

Then this is the episode for you, my friend.

You’ll discover:

  • The top 5 mistakes HR Consultants repeatedly make on LinkedIn which destroys their credibility and wastes their time.

And much, much more.

So if you want more leads and clients from LinkedIn then listen to this episode and get to work.

Because getting clients on LinkedIn ain't difficult when you know what you're doing.
