In this article, I reveal our 12-step, proven formula for converting audiences into cash. In fact, we know it to be the most effective way to get new customers short of selling one-to-one, which is not scalable.
This isn't just some theory, but rather battle-tested in the real world. This blueprint was crafted from delivering over 3,000 platform presentations. In fact, this same blueprint helped generate over $14 million in sales.
With that said, let's get on with the show.

Video is a powerful tool when it comes to advertising your products and services. However, the benefits of video aren’t limited to marketing your business. Internally, video can also be a uniquely effective tool for recruiting diverse talent and enhancing company culture. Cultivating a strong company culture does more than ensure happier employees. It can help your business improve employee retention and establish a positive brand identity for both your customers and your employees. You may have noticed LinkedIn rolling out the use of native video on its sites, helping businesses develop regular communication with prospective employees. Here are three ways to harness the power of video to foster clear connection, communication and efficiency, and boost your company culture.

Motivation is one of the essential ingredients of sales success. When you’re not motivated, you’ll struggle to finish even the most basic tasks, like sending out a batch of prospecting emails or prepping for your upcoming calls. Things that require more attention and energy, like demoing or negotiating? Probably won’t go very well.
If you need an immediate dose of motivation, read the stories of these inspiring salespeople. Like you, they’ve had less-than-spectacular moments. But they kept grinding -- and the results speak for themselves.

It's not a question of if, but when. "Blockchain will be the fundamental way we store data in the future," said Kevin Wheeler, founder and president of the Future of Talent Institute, a San Francisco-area think tank. "The only real question is how quickly will it become universally accessible?"
Wheeler was speaking at Hiring Success 18, a conference for recruiting professionals held by SmartRecruiters, a talent acquisition platform based in San Francisco.
Blockchain is a bit mysterious and hard to understand (see below for a quick explanation), but every day we are getting more familiar with it and its potential for HR and recruitment, he said. Blockchain's applications for HR and recruiting are numerous and include the ability to protect employee data, secure payroll, eliminate candidate-records verification and streamline onboarding.

Over the years, the prospect of a banking career has lost a lot of its luster, and this has been particularly true over the course of the past decade. Research shows us that millennial's, as they enter the workforce, are steering away from financial services in favor of other career opportunities. What’s behind the loss of appeal, and how can bank culture get back to the top of the list for career aspirations for tomorrows graduates?

Toxic people: Brag about using power and manipulation to get what they want out of others. Blame you when they offend you. Somehow it’s your fault that they offended you. Expect you to help them, but don’t have time to help you. Need you to keep secrets. Secrets create toxic environments. Interrupt when you’re talking. Resent showing honor to ‘underlings’. Toxic bosses expect honor, but seldom give honor. Expect special treatment. Complain about others. Toxic people seldom have anything good to say about anyone except themselves. Put you on your heels. Toxic people make you feel defensive. Seldom apologize. Toxic people have lots of expectations for you.

Dissatisfaction, not dreams, is the first step toward change.
Success that’s waiting over the mountain isn’t worth the climb when the valley feels fine. But, don’t beat people with the stick of dissatisfaction.

Once your company is ready to start a client advisory council (also known as a client advisory panel or customer advisory board) and you’ve created a program charter and aligned your internal team, you’ll soon turn your attention to recruiting customer members. Recruiting is a topic that is often challenging for companies of all sizes. Many trip up here, are unable to drum up support for their program or might offend some internal folks or customers in the process. Yet after having completed over 200 successful advisory council program engagements, I’ve learned what it takes to successfully recruit customers to advisory council programs, and I've learned how to get them eager to participate and even build a waiting list. Here are five proven tips for recruiting customers to your client advisory council program:

As the war for talent continues, crafting and implementing a strong talent management strategy has become a challenge. Many companies are strengthening their internal talent management capabilities with the chief talent officer role. This new leader in the C-suite is responsible for every aspect of human resources from the talent life cycle, managing internal recruitment teams, career development, employee engagement, succession planning and more. Changing talent landscapes, migration to remote work and emerging technology are dismantling the traditional approaches to managing talent and workforces. A new phenomenon of talent stagnation is blocking emerging leaders from ascending the career ladder and, as a result, these professionals are not able to learn the leadership skills needed to succeed in more senior roles. Chief talent officers need to implement initiatives catering to developing future generations of leadership through transparency and communication, a powerful employee value proposition (EVP), and diversity and inclusion (D&I).

For many years, London has been the heartbeat of financial services across Europe and the world. The City has led the way, in part due to the efficient nature with which it connects key sectors, such as insurance, banking and legal.
The last 50 years have also seen the greatest advancements in technology. From the first home computer that entered the market in 1977, through to public acceptance of the Internet in 1991, the invention of Bluetooth in 2000, a year later the introduction of the first generation iPod, Facebook in 2004 and Google’s first driverless car in 2012—there are literally thousands of technical creations that have graced mankind, many of which we now take for granted as vehicles of our daily lives. What is for certain is that these products or programmes have subtly influenced how society thinks and behaves.

Is your organization considering a workforce development program for nontraditional job candidates, yet unsure where to start?
Or maybe you lead diversity and inclusion efforts and are having difficulty helping hiring managers and business leaders understand that a strong focus on pedigree hiring can be detrimental to your company’s goals.
Pedigree hiring means to heavily favor those with impressive academic and work credentials and gap-free resumes. But it’s a problem if it blocks opportunities for nontraditional candidates with high potential. Pedigree hiring may cause companies to overlook great talent for unfilled job roles, while also sabotaging their efforts to improve diversity and inclusion.

It’s easy to spot a good candidate – just take a look at their skills and professional experience. Now, to find a great candidate, that is another story.
Finding top talent is a bit more complicated than perusing through a CV, because the best employees not only have the required technical skills, but emotional skills as well.
In fact, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report noted that emotional intelligence (EQ) will be among the top ten most wanted employee skills by 2020. Employees will have to develop skills like emotional intelligence in order to compete in the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-changing workforce.
But how do you screen candidates for emotional intelligence? It’s a bit more tricky than testing a candidate’s writing skills. Here are four suggestions to help recruiters know if a candidate has high emotional intelligence.
