10 MINUTES WORTH OF EXPERIENCE

Where’s all the experienced hiding? Ever tried to get past the receptionist? What about the so-called gatekeepers who guard the decision makers along with their jobs? What happens if opportunity knocks and no one answers the door?  And companies wonder why they grow at a nit’s pace or why their competitor got the contract.

Hiring someone with “10 minutes worth of experience” may be cheap but here’s the rub, they’ll cost your company a truckload of lost opportunities. Think not? Try fielding all incoming queries yourself for a month.

As they say, you might have to kiss a lot of frogs to find that hypothetical opportunity. But if that one opportunity is worth its weight in gold, isn’t it worth the effort?

There are lots of Google’s and Twitter’s in the wings but they won’t show up on your doorstep if you allow “10 minutes worth of experience” to man your helm!
