Paul DeBettignies said… I am the “Admin” for the Recruiters On LinkedIn group, www.recruitingblogs.com/group/linkedin. You have recently joined and this is a "welcome" to the group and "here is how it works".
Over the past year I have been experimenting how best to facilitate members being able to connect with each other. Some want to connect with everyone and some are looking for a few meaningful connections.
1-2 times per week I send a group introduction message with 10-15 new members and reintroducing others.
What this means for you is simple, do you wish to be introduced to the group?
You have 4 options from which to choose:
(A) “Open Networker” with name, email address, and LinkedIn URL as you want to connect with anyone and everyone.
(B) “General Introduction” with name and LinkedIn URL as you are specific about who you want to connect with.
(C) “Lurker” no announcement will be made as you want to be on the sidelines connecting with people as you wish.
(D) “Super Open Networker” which is (A) plus having your contact information on the group page.
A caution on the “Open Networker”, you may be inundated with invitations to connect. For some this is exactly what they are hoping for and others this could be a pain.
I do ask, if you receive invitations from members you do not want to connect with that you “Archive” the message versus “I don’t know” so the sender is not penalized by LinkedIn although how you handle this is up to you.
Again your options are (A), (B), (C), (D).
Please include your LinkedIn URL and email address you prefer to receive invitations and send to paul@mnheadhunter.com
Thank you for your time.

Creating Win - Win Relationships for 2009
organization is still accomplished by people. It is people who
interface with the customer, make the product, deliver the
service, plan and coordinate how work gets done, improve
processes and systems, ensure quality, and return a profit.
Technology has provided us with better tools, but it is still
people who do the work of an organization and are ultimately
responsible for its success.
Therefore, one of the challenges of any and al… Continue

Leadership to Leadershift
What is the difference in the two words? This is not a
trick question. It is the "P" and the "FT". In
Leadership, it is central to a person - the leader. In
Leadershift, the focus is on finishing together. In other
words, we want to shift the leader's vision to the entire
organization. This is exactly the goal of High
Performance!
A High Performance organization achieves
outstanding results by making each person a
contributing partner in the business. In other

"…who would you fight to keep?"
can keep just one of them. What abilities or behaviors do you
look for to determine which employee will stay and which one
will go?"
There was remarkable agreement to that question from CEO's,
managers, supervisors, human resource directors, employers,
and business owners.
In fact it came down to eight high performance abilities to
determine which employee to hire, lay-off, fire, or retain:
1) Take charge of their p… Continue

More thoughts on Sales Skills are Life Skills
Rayanne's comment went straight to my point; how many people have that negative view of "sales"? Yet, if we communicate at all - we sell. (see Sales Skills are Life Skills)
It is definitely not about "selling someone" and I understand where Ben is coming from. That being said, to lump all into "you Americans" is not exactly fair. I think Jim's point lends to motivation and persistence. Our solutions may not help everyone. We will hear "no" man… Continue

Sales Skills are Life Skills
the field of sales, the one thing I quickly grew to
appreciate was the fact that anything I did to increase
my ability in selling also increased my ability in life.
Sales skills are life skills.
"There's a born salesman!" I have yet to read, or hear
on the evening news, of a lady who gave birth to a
sales person. Or an attorney, or doctor, or for that
matter an embezzler or swindler. Birth is given to
boys and girls; everything after that… Continue
