If youre a smart cookie you advertise, you market, you engage the services of professionals to assist in the sale of products and services But who sells your business to prospective employees?

Now thats a tough one! And its not something that too many people think about. Recruiting new employees in most industries is done on an as needed basis and therein lies the problem no future planning, and no selling consideration.
The opener to my column this month raises the point that you likely spend time and resources trying to capture new clients. You make sure that you can (to the best of your ability) service them in a way that corresponds to your sales promise.
--- What do you promise your future employees?

Your sales promise is one of the principle reasons why customers bring their business to you. And so long as your internal reality (the way you perform and deliver on that promise) matches your external reality (the way in which you are perceived) you can expect success.Larimer County attracts millions of visitor each year ...

But again, how do you market and sell to the second most important people in your company your staff? And dont think for a moment that once youve got them theyre going to simply stick around Do your customers just stay?
Youve got to resell and recommit them to you and your business. Just like customers who get up one day and leave, never to return, so do employees. Theyre people just like you and I and things change. Life is constantly in flux and evolving and as a species we are adapting.
--- Nothing happens until someone sells somethingin this case its you!
Now without getting too deep, simply think of it this way, you sell to employees they buy your money and sell you their time. Alternatively your Clients (or customers) buy your services (provided by your employees) and pay you money. Without a steady and constant stream of buying and selling transactions you have no business!
Okay, so now that Ive established that we need to sell ourselves (or at least our businesses) to prospective employees, so that we have a stream of available resources as we need them, the question becomes how?
Ironically, you can approach the process of selling your company as the place to work in the same fashion that you advertise your business as the place for customers to bring their vehicles: you simply advertise.

The market is not the same because the people who will buy your job offer are not the same as the people who would buy your vehicle repair services.
The advertising mediums will likely overlap a little, but just like a certain bait only works for certain fish, this too will cause things to change. Serious enquirers will likely want quality information so expect to create brochures and other sales pieces tailored to their needs.
And the message will most definitely be different. TIP - Position yourself a leading local business thats offering a unique opportunity not a job.
--- Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise!
As I suggested, serious enquirers will likely want more information. Id recommend at least a good employment brochure a standard tri-fold will suffice. Youll need to talk about the opportunity, explain their benefits, your history and a host of other proven topics.
The content, design and structure of a typical employment brochure is beyond the scope of this article, however if youd like a template and more information feel free to visit my website and drop me line (I've got one kicking around somewhere...)

Encourage your staff to suggest referrals. You can use display advertising but again, youll need to do things a little differently than perhaps your used to. Either way, there are plenty of good resources that can show you how to target market future employees.
In conclusion, dont treat marketing to your employees as an after thought: your future depends on it. And remember, even once theyre on board, youve got to give them reasons to stay and it will need to include more than just money based incentives.
Happy hunting!
