"We do all sell. Some better than others. I tell you though, I never want to be called a sales person. I was in the recruitment industry for 3 years, left to sell products and services for 10 years and came back into recruitment. I hated every moment…"

Mitch Sullivan commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"How are you defining "we"?"
Carmen Lapham commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"Sharon, always remember,
"Nothing in this world worth having comes easy."
Sahip olmaya değecek hiçbir şey kolay elde edilemez."
Sharon Hibble commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"Yes, I agree that a recruiters job is to sell, we sell jobs and we sell skills/people however I would never ever say that in answer to the question "What do you do for a living". If you go back to the good old sales training that…"
Carmen Lapham commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"WOW! David, I am not sure where to begin. I get asked the question "What do you do for a living?" often, at networking events, conferences etc. And most often I do use my title and company name which sometimes leads to some further…"
Ken Forrester commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"So true, Carmen-nothing happens until something is sold. But, not everyone can sell-because selling is a process that takes time to learn, practice and apply. And unfortunately we now live in a push-button world. We push a button…"
David Palmer commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'We All Sell, We Are All In Sales'"Nope not buying it! What a dull boring world you wish for. No one would ask the question because they would already know the answer. No subtle suggestion of the detail in your job in the answer: I sell. It's like what do you do? I breath..how…"

By Carmen Lapham, Director of Recruiting and Operations, Q4BIf anyone asks you “What do you do for a living?” how do you respond? Most people answer with their job title and their company, as in “I am the owner of VF Transport” or “I am the head of production with MQ Manufacturing” or in my case, see my info above. Nothing wrong with this…See More
Daniel F Ridge commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'Ask and You Shall Receive'"If a client asked me that question and I had gotten the answers to my questions and was convinced that I could indeed solve his/her problem my answer would be a resounding "YES"! But I doubt that most recruiters take the time to ask all…"
Carmen Lapham commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'On Making a Commitment'"That is a great analogy!
I'm thankful that I've had the opportunity to work with some great folks who appreciate the relationship building that it takes to find great people. When working with a new client, we always tell them upfront what…"
Candace Nault commented on Carmen Lapham's blog post 'On Making a Commitment'"Love this post, SO true and I love how you expressed it, I am from the same school of recruiting as you...quality vs. quantity in what I do.
The question I have for you and anyone is how do you get the client to subscribe to this same type of…"

By Carmen Lapham, Director of Recruiting and Operations, Q4B If you are a parent with small children starting out on a road trip of any length you have heard this question numerous times, even if the trip is just across town. Depending on how old you are you may even remember asking the question yourself when you took trips with your parents, perhaps even last week. It’s as though kids have the idea that we live in a Jetson's age where everything happens at hyper speed, especially going from…See More

By Carmen Lapham, Director of Recruiting and Operations, Q4B
A colleague of mine recently had a birthday. He is an avid reader and a beer guy who borders on being a beer snob. His wife gave him a book for the occasion entitled 300 Beers To Try Before You Die by Roger Protz. He calls it his beer bucket list (although he would refuse to drink any of his beers from a bucket) and after paging through the book he discovered a few things.
Over the years he thought he…
