Effective employer branding is not just about attracting candidates but also about retaining existing employees. A positive work environment and reputation increase employee satisfaction and reduced turnover. As a recruiter, how can you partner with your client companies to achieve employer branding objectives? To answer this question, I am delighted to have a very special guest, Bryan Adams, CEO and founder of Ph.Creative, an award-winning employer branding agency with offices in Liverpool, London, San Diego, and Auckland. Bryan shares insights and strategies on creating an effective storytelling framework to apply this branding philosophy: repel the many and compel the few. Bryan helps his clients define their essence as a company, both in its uniqueness and what it stands for, and then crafts and aligns those aspirations with the people his clients are looking to attract. They've worked with famous brands such as Apple and Nike. He is also a two-time best-selling author. His latest book is Give & Get:Repel the Many and Compel the Few with Impact, Purpose, and Belonging. He has written for the Harvard Business Review, Inc.com, the Entrepreneur magazine, and has been featured in Forbes. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:22] How Bryan launched his branding agency. [05:45] DIscussion on employer branding and the philosophy of attracting the right people. [13:01] Roadmap in helping your client attract the right people. [18:02] What are the components of a good employer brand? [27:41] Bryan gives us key stories from his book, Give & Get Employer Branding. [30:36] What mistakes do companies make concerning employer branding? [37:31] How can recruiters partner with their client companies in achieving the objectives of employer branding? [43:00] Book recommendations and references on storytelling. [48:10] Employer branding case studies on small to medium-sized businesses. Repel the Many and Compel the Few - A Guide on Employer Branding Recruiters are ambassadors of their clients. Understanding the employer brand of the company they represent is crucial to attracting the right candidates. Effective employer branding is critical for attracting, engaging, and retaining top talent. It goes beyond just salary and benefits; it encompasses the company's values, culture, work environment, opportunities for growth, and overall employee experience. Contrary to the notion that the correct branding should attract as many candidates as possible, Bryan believes that doing it right should only compel a few, well-screened candidates. He said: “And it's interesting still in a recent survey, 70% of employer brand leaders still cite an increase in volume of applicants and traffic to their career site as a success metric when delivering an employer brand. I've never met a TA leader, a talent attraction leader who just wants more applicants, more noise, more admin, and more work to get to the people who are ideally matched.” Bryan shared case studies of corporations and small-medium businesses they worked with and how the right employer branding worked well to find the right people. Bryan pretty much defined the right approach to branding when he said “The idea is, if you're confident and clear enough to know your culture and what it takes to drive the organization forward, and you also can answer some fundamental questions of not just why people join, but why they stay, then you can craft a give and get proposition which is a two-way value exchange of not just what you stand to get as an employer but actually what you're willing to give in return candidates and employees alike can make very informed career decisions as to whether it's an ideal match.” How to Strategize a Good Employer Brand Bryan shared the mistakes companies make when envisioning and strategizing their employer brand. He also shared vital pointers and elements to consider in designing and marketing effective talent branding. It leads to creating a communication framework, which should include the following: Research - the goal is to look for something authentic enough for employees to try on and recognize their personal experience in the messaging that you will put out. Ask the right questions - organizations need to ask the right questions and get the right information to create a messaging that makes sense for them while compelling a segment of the talent audience that they are targeting. Messaging - Bryan described it clearly: get a 360 view and design the messaging to touch a very tangible bridge between the reality of today and the aspiration of tomorrow. Brand Essence - just like Nike's “Just Do It” campaign, a clear brand essence needs to start a conversation where people can look at the sentiment of what you are saying and be intrigued or make an interpretation that can create an affinity with the audience. Bryan also discussed the importance of storytelling. He mentioned that this is part of what makes their company successful and also shared books and references that you can look into if you plan to begin engaging in this skill. How Can Recruiters Promote Their Client's Employer Brand? How can recruiters partner with their client companies in achieving the objectives of employer branding? I was interested in picking Bryan's brains on this question and he was able to give insightful advice which is to focus on creating a compelling story structure. “The formula is this: empathy, curiosity, surprise, insight, and action,” Bryan said. This approach to creating a story structure he shared is interesting as it is backed up by psychology. This is how he explained it: “Empathy is an emotional immediate connection to the organization, what they're trying to do, and the purpose and vision of the organization. Curiosity is something that differentiates you from everybody else and gets people to lean in. So there's an emotional connection and now we're leaning in. Surprise is here's three things that you didn't know. You weren't expecting this. So what we're doing is we're playing with, we're opening the right side of the mind now, the right side of the brain, such that you're now ready to receive facts and information, insights and specific that you can deliver about the role. So we've talked about the company, maybe there's curiosity about the team and the specific objectives in that team, then insight around the specific role, and then we make a call to action. Usually, the call to action ties everything together from a purpose perspective. And if you walk through that formula, it's incredibly powerful if you have a proposition that's compelling and true that plays on all of the strengths that we've talked about.” Our Sponsor This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Interview With Rick Nuske My Future Business - Helping Reduce The Failure Rate of Small Businesses Globally #PodcastMarketing #WelcomeToTheShow #RickNuske Hi, and welcome to the show! [coincidence? I think not…lol] As the host of The Author Factor Podcast, Mike Capuzzi asked some great questions that explored my journey as a published author. Although there were many highlights, I enjoyed talking about podcasting as a business, and how content marketing is king. Not only did Mike ask great questions, he was the catalyst I needed to start promoting my new book “Welcome To The Show 1.0 The Complete Podcasting System for Your Small Business”. As a bonus, he also asked me about my podcast, The My Future Business Show. Thanks for being a great host Mike! Did you know this was my first time promoting my new book as a guest on someone else's podcast? This is a 180 degree pivot from my usual role as the host of The My Future Business Show. And I loved it. In the hours leading up to the interview, for the first time in many years, I was nervous. However, within a few minutes of starting the interview, my nerves melted away, and I started providing insights into my conversion-focused podcasting strategy, that as a business owner, you can introduce into your own business with minimum outlay, commitment, and some practice to get into the swing of it. If you're a business owner wondering how this podcast marketing thing can help grow your business, I have this to add. As long as there are problems people [your ideal customers] need solved, and as long as there is a need for communication to help them better define the problem and then share how your business can help solve it, there will be a need for podcast marketing inside your business. When you set up your own podcast marketing system, and combine it with the best of direct marketing principles, you will no longer be destined to spend [and waste] hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on pay per click marketing which often leaves you without a justifiable result. To me, pay per click advertising is kind of like burning money, and those running these advertising platforms [and you know who you are!] have become very good at draining your back pocket before you even know what hit you! I've proven that the counter to burning your money with PPC, is podcast marketing. You create evergreen content, either by appearing on The My Future Business Show as my guest, or you set up your own conversion-focused podcast marketing system using what you find inside “Welcome To The Show 1.0 The Complete Podcasting System for Your Small Business”. Your third option is to do nothing, in which case nothing will change inside your business. As a published author, [wow, did I just say that?] I'm humbled by all of the inputs, advice and experiences I've had with amazingly skilled people over the years that resulted in my first book Welcome To The Show 1.0 The Complete Podcasting System for Your Business. I never thought I'd make it, but I did. So, if you're at the start of your writing journey, you can do it, I have faith in you. As Nike says “Just Do It!” Now, also briefly mentioned during the interview, was my private coaching and consulting service which is focused entirely on getting your conversion-focused podcast system up and running as soon as possible. Given the popularity of this service, not all applicants are successful. That being said, to book 10 minutes with me to see where you're at in your business right now, and to discuss your promotional goals and so forth, click on the link below. I look forward to talking with you! As a quick way to connect with me, I want to also invite you to join me inside the My Future Business PODCASTING CENTRAL Facebook Group where you can ask me anything you like about podcasting, podcast marketing and general business questions. I have a lot of business building experience that can help transform your business. To thank you for taking the time to listen to th...
Are you ready to discover a sneaky yet effective way to build an SMS list fast and increase profits for your small business? In this episode, we're going to dive into a case study of how a guy named Mark earned six figures by capturing birthdays and setting up SMS messaging for businesses. By the end of this episode, you'll have a step-by-step guide on how you can start providing this SMS service to business owners and see the same success as Mark. So grab a notebook and let's get started! Mark is a successful entrepreneur who has earned six figures by taking advantage of a creative, yet effective way to increase profits for his small business - capturing birthdays and setting up an SMS messaging service. This episode provides a step-by-step guide on how to provide this service to business owners and replicate Mark's success. It also provides advice to business owners who are looking for ways to increase their profits. Mark's story shows that entrepreneurs can be successful despite feeling overwhelmed by technology. Mark is an entrepreneur who works with businesses to implement an SMS messaging service that captures customers' phone numbers and birthdays. The businesses then send out a free birthday gift redeemable on the person's birthday. This strategy helps the businesses build an SMS list quickly, as well as increase their profits, as two birthdays a week can bring in an extra 200, and ten can bring in an extra thousand. To make it even more effective, Mark suggests creating a real tangible product to be shipped out to the birthday customers, which commands a higher price and results in more positive reviews. To get started, businesses must implement the SMS messaging service and then begin capturing customers' birthdays. Tracy Brinkmann explores the concept of using an SMS service to help businesses build their customer list and increase customer loyalty. It is a powerful tool for increasing revenue and foot traffic, as well as saving on marketing costs. The steps for entrepreneurs looking to provide this service to businesses are outlined: research SMS services, create a website to showcase the services, and use Groove Funnels to collect emails. Tracy talks about creating an SMS marketing service for businesses in the food and entertainment industry. The speaker suggests taking advantage of the free level of service for 30 or 60 days to get the service up and running. Potential clients should be identified, and customized SMS marketing campaigns should be created for each one. These campaigns should include personalized birthday greetings and incentives to encourage customers to visit the business. Staff should be trained on how to capture customer data and create an SMS calendar to include special promotions and offers for different times of the year. Tracy suggests leveraging special days of the month to build up to a big movie release or other promotional events.

Sales and marketing teams play similar roles in a company. However, many business owners fail to understand the relationship between sales and marketing, costing them resources and the opportunity to efficiently scale their businesses. When it is understood, cultivated, and optimized, a balance of sales and marketing can create happy, long-term customers while boosting a company's growth. In this episode, I discuss the relationship between sales and marketing. I define what sales and marketing teams are and describe their tasks and responsibilities within a company. I explain how the collaboration between sales and marketing teams increases efficiency and creates long-term, happy clients. I also highlight why margin matters more than volume and underscore why business owners need to include sales and marketing together in their strategic plans. “Sales and marketing are like a hand and a glove, like pepperoni and pizza, and like peanut butter and jelly.” - Justin Goodbread This week on the Financially Simple Experience: Why many businesses don't see the relationship between sales and marketing The definitions of sales and marketing How sales teams convert qualified prospects into satisfied customers The importance of growing your business through a long-term relationship strategy The sales team's mission to convert prospects into long-term, happy clients How marketing teams identify the perfect customer Why sales and marketing teams need to collaborate Resources Mentioned: Book: Guerilla Marketing: Easy and Inexpensive Strategies for Making Big Profits from Your Small Business by Jay Conrad Levinson Our Favorite Quotes: “People do business with people, not companies. Humans are built for relationships, and people do business with people who are interested in long-term relationships.” - Justin Goodbread “In simple terms, sales brings to people the opportunity to say ‘yes' or ‘no' for your product or service.” - Justin Goodbread “It's paramount that the marketing team can create collateral that can convey the message of what you do as a company for the consumer to understand.” - Justin Goodbread About The Financially Simple Podcast If you are looking for a podcast that speaks directly to the challenges and puzzles of running a business, you've come to the right place.
