Leveraging Search Consultants

This workshop is geared to the mid-size and smaller agency that is considering how to best tap Search Consultants. Key questions will be addressed: Is it really worth your effort to connect with these gatekeepers? Are they open to new agencies... or do they stick with their favorites? What is the best way for the smaller agency to break through the clutter and get on their radar? Get a look into their selection process and exactly what it takes to get on their short list. Understand why they reject most agencies and how you can prevent this – no matter what size your shop happens to be.
