Top-of-the-funnel lead-generation activities are a critical ingredient for a successful recruitment business. How do you strategize your lead generation to stand out in this age where all your competitors are probably doing the same thing you are doing?  We are really lucky to be joined in this episode by Jeremy Jensen, the founder and CEO of Encore Search Partners, the largest privately owned executive search firm based in Houston, Texas. Before starting his recruitment firm, Jeremy used to run a lead generation company for different businesses such as recruitment and search firms. You will hear Jeremy's insights and strategy on lead generation activities and how he transitioned into becoming the recruitment business owner of a $12M search firm.  Episode Outline and Highlights [01:50] How Jeremy got into recruiting. [05:36] Business milestones - Overcoming adversity, rebranding, and hiring someone with more technical expertise. [13:02] Why recruitment business owners should hire and do things with others. [25:49] How EOS (Entrepreneur Operating System) can impact your business. [35:25] Jeremy's insights on Lead Generation as a core strength. [45:10] Encore Search's seven core values. [53:38] What made Encore Search win Best Place to Work in the Houston Business Journal?   From a Lead Generation Firm to a Recruitment Business - Jeremy's Story   Jeremy's story on what led him to the recruitment industry is fascinating. He started a lead generation company in 2010 - and upon realizing that more than half of his client base was sourcing and staffing businesses, he transitioned into putting up his recruitment business. His claim to fame was in lead generation, where he was the main lead generator, regularly feeding senior recruiters with leads.    His business grew and was billing a million in the third year when market and economic difficulty struck. He had to make a pivotal decision whether to shut his business and be a full-time employee or to keep on going. You will hear how his decision to stay in business paid off, and how implementing strategies to go national and hiring other senior leaders contributed to their growth.    I think many of our listeners can relate to what Jeremy went through. Starting your own recruitment business is not easy - you can get to the point where you are making 100k to zero in a month. Jeremy's inspiring thought process and decision-making can inspire our recruitment firm owners who are going through the same ordeal.   The Pillars of Lead Generation   Jeremy's transition from a lead-generation specialist to a recruitment business owner shows us the critical role of top-of-the-funnel lead-generation activities in business success. He shared insights on what makes lead generation his key strength. Here are the two pillars:   Content - he emphasized the importance of proper story-telling. “Because if you can induce an emotion from your audience, that creates resonance. I don't think that our audience wants to see five tips on how to make your resume more marketable.” Email Marketing - he shared why it is important to utilize new tools and platforms to reach as many as possible. “And so we try to constantly look for new, innovative ways to steal market share.”   Digital Marketing - Hiring a digital marketing coordinator to enhance brand loyalty and utilizing various platforms can significantly increase community engagement and brand building.   Having Structure in Place Means Sustainable Growth   Jeremy is a subject matter expert on EOS - Entrepreneurial Operating System. We discussed how a clear and consistent structure contributed to their business growth. He also touched upon the value of embedding core values to overcome big challenges they had to face by the time their business was growing.    He shared how excellence, resilience, gratitude, professionalism, coachable attitude, meticulousness, and competitiveness are deeply ingrained in daily operations, fostering culture through practices like core value spotlights during meetings. He also talked about transparency, and how it made their company a Best Place to Work award recipient in the Houston Business Journal.    Our Sponsor   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro    i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

This episode is part of our 2021 top episode round-up - it was originally published on 12/01/2021.   In 2021 the most valuable commodity is attention. As marketers, we all seek to earn the attention of our audience. But how often do we consider our own focus while on the job? Are those trips to the water cooler really helping your creativity? Does keeping your email tab open or closed help or hinder communication? In this episode, Jeremy Jensen joins me to discuss flow. Many of us are probably familiar with the concept of flow. "Being in the zone" or "runners high" are common names for this neurologic effect happening inside our brain. In flow, we become focused, more creative, and increase productivity. In fact, studies have found that productivity can be increased 500% when in flow. Most of us probably experience this effect while we're skiing, mountain biking or chasing some adrenaline high. But what if we could trick our brains into flow so that we could get more done? What if we could do a full day's work in half a day? Jeremy is here to tell us that this is possible. Flow state can be triggered with 22 different triggers. Each of which can launch us into sessions of deep, quality, focused work.

Welcome to Hunting & Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada. I'm Robert Koopmans and every once in a while, I chat with people about interesting aspects of our outdoor sports. This time around, Jeremy Jensen, Kevin Wood and I met up at Jeremy's archery warehouse in Kamloops to shoot some arrows and bullshit in rambling fashion about bow and arrow accuracy. I'm not sure how much fact we brought to the table, but it was fun to discuss all the same… It's a good time of year to sit around and have long rambling chats about stuff like this… Hunting season is still a long way down the road, and hey, you have to kill time somehow.  ***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode. If you want to share a thought, send us an email at info@theoutdoornarrative.com. I'm Robert Koopmans, thanks again, and we'll catch you next time.

Welcome to Hunting & Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada. I'm Robert Koopmans and this week Jeremy Jensen, Kevin Wood and I talked about the end of the hunting season, how it all turned out, and what role bowhunting will play for us in the future. We also answer some questions from a listener about things like cover scents, camo, how to carry binoculars, and making best use of the off-season to practice… Lastly, my apologies for the sporadic episode publishing schedule this past fall. These sorts of projects are often the first to be sacrificed when life gets busy.  All that said, doing this podcast is something I enjoy, and I'll be back in the New Year with a resolution to record content more regularly. If there is something you want to hear about, or something you want to share, send me an email at info@theoutdoornarrative.com. So until next year, thanks for listening, and now on to our chat …*****Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

Welcome to Hunting & Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada. I'm Robert Koopmans and this week I was back in the archery warehouse with Jeremy Jensen and Kevin Wood, talking about the frustrations of tuning a hunting bow, getting ‘bunny fever,' and the troubles with trail cams… We also talked about the upcoming deer season, which is only a week or so away, and how we feel about the prospects for our upcoming hunts. *****Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

Welcome to Hunting and Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British  Columbia and western Canada. I'm Robert Koopmans and along with Jeremy Jensen and Kevin Wood, we're talking about first steps in bowhunting. All of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's deer hunting season. This week, we met up at our indoor shooting lanes in Kamloops to reflect back on six weeks of bear hunting in B.C.'s Interior. Just to summarize, for those who don't want to listen to the chat but want to know how our hunt turned out, here are the stats. In the end, we saw 18 bears, and had three opportunities to nock an arrow to a string. In the end, however, we didn't shoot a bear with an arrow, highlighting one more time how much hunting with a bow changes the game. Had we been hunting with rifles instead of bows, we'd be telling a different story. We had five solid opportunities to shoot a bear with a rifle at distances less than 100 yards. Closing distances from 100 to 50 yards or less to get into bow range, however, proved to be an entirely different task… Despite how it ended, we consider the season to be an inordinate success. We learned tons about bears, and saw amazing amounts of wildlife, including big bucks, does, fawns, grouse and more rabbits than we could count. We toughed out some long days cruising rugged backcountry on ebikes, and endured evenings with murderous clouds of mosquitoes. And we found some amazing new country that will certainly draw us back this fall. Most importantly, though we had a great time … So please, listen in as we chat about how it all went down. If you hear a question that you have an answer for or have a comment, let us know. Send us an email at info@theoutdoornarrative.com .

Welcome to Hunting and Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada.I'm Robert Koopmans and this week I'm back with Jeremy Jensen and Kevin Wood talking about first steps in bowhunting. All of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's deer hunting season. In this episode, we met up at our indoor warehouse shooting lane to talk about broadheads. There are many, many choices these days when it comes to broadheads, and deciding what to tip your arrows with for hunting can be a daunting task. Before the three of us chatted, however, I had a conversation with Mitchell Haifley, the owner of VPA Archery, a US manufacturer selling, among other things, a line of precision-machined broadheads in a wide array of weights and configurations. We talked about the differences between fixed blade and mechanical broadheads and Mitchell weighed in on some of the things he thinks about when it comes to broadheads. After my chat with Mitchell, Kevin, Jeremy and I had a look at a small selection of broadheads that VPA sent our way, and discussed things we have been thinking about when deciding what broadheads to hunt with. Lastly, we gave the VPA broadheads a quick shoot at our indoor range, and discovered a couple of interesting things that will certainly affect how we make our broadhead choices down the road…***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

All of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's fall hunting season. In this episode, we met up at our indoor warehouse shooting lane to talk about bow sights, what's working for us and why. We also had a chat about the Garmin Xero A1 laser range-finding bow sight, a unique piece of technology that offers bow hunters a potential pathway to faster and more accurate shooting in the field. The sight is not without issues, however, and we discussed the pros and cons of this piece of high-priced bow technology and whether any of us will ever end up with the sight on our bows in hunting season. I've had the opportunity to try the sight on two occasions and offered my thoughts about what works and what doesn't. We wrapped up the chat with talk about upcoming plans to get in the field in the next week or so to chase bears with arrows, a new experience that will be much different than any of us newbie bowhunters are used to … ***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

Both of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's fall hunting season. In this episode, Jeremy and I met up with Kevin Wood, another newbie to the world of archery and bowhunting. Kevin picked up a bow last fall and dove head-first into the sport. He's practised continually to develop his archery skills and learn the technical aspects of hunting with a bow.  A few weeks ago, he put it all together for a first-ever hunting trip to Mayne Island BC, where he and a friend chased fallow deer. This is a unique hunting opportunity in BC, one that allows hunters to pursue the introduced exotic all year-round. These deer escaped from a game farm years ago and are overpopulating the small island, which sits in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Kevin had a great trip, and shared with Jeremy and I how it all went down … ***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

Both of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We've made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year's fall hunting season.Today we chatted about a variety of topics, including overcoming resistance to resistance bow releases.Following recent advice, both of us have moved away from index finger trigger releases and are focusing on developing skills and form with resistance-based bow releases. Jeremy recently picked up a Nocked-On Silverback, while I bought a Stan Perfex resistance release.  Also up for conversation was our first hunt of the year for Canada geese, and prospects for chasing black bears with bow and arrow …

His skill and passion for archery and hunting are well known in B.C. and he is respected for his skills across Canada.Al shared with us a ton of valuable knowledge, including what releases lead to the best results, and at what distances we should spend most our time practising. He also shared his wisdom in regard to best bow weights, and how to pick out arrows that will work best for hunting. ***** Thanks for listening to this week's episode.

Welcome to Episode 34 of The Outdoor Narrative. Every week, I chat with people about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia. This week, hunting friends Jeremy Jensen and Matt Jennings joined me at my home as we cut up a young mule deer buck we were lucky enough to kill a couple of days before …For most hunters, high-quality meat is the prize. And while the work you do with a firearm or a bow when hunting deer is a critical part of the experience, it is not the most important part in determining how your meat will turn out.How you treat an animal after it has been shot is more important to the quality of the meat than almost any other factor. Paying attention to all the details from the shot to the freezer will determine in large part how enjoyable your eating experience is going to be. Butchering your own animal is one way to ensure all the right steps are taken, and cutting your own meat adds to the hunting experience by completing that field to table process… Thanks for listening to this week's episode.
