MagicMethod Telephone Name Sourcing Classroom Chat Log

April 28, 2008 Noon – 1 p.m. (EST)
Yesterday's class centered around “Handling the Gatekeeper” and there were a couple dozen people in attendance for the Inaugural MagicMethod Classroom Chat. Several of them participated and there were some very good questions asked. By the way, I had a note from someone before class started that several people from one company wanted to attend BUT their company's firewall had the site (like many other Internet sites) blocked. Did you know 64% of U.S. companies deny their employees access to social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, etc.? If you have trouble signing in you might want to talk to your company's IT department about unblocking the site.

Recruiting Animal Do Gatekeepers ever recognize your voice?

Maureen Sharib Have I ever been recognized? Sure! All the time. In fact, I say, once we've est'd some rapport (this usually takes 2-3 calls), "It's me again!"

Kristin Scala Do you have experience sourcing for Financial Advisors? Any recommendations getting past the gatekeepers at wealth centers?
