Background
    Dalhousie’s Technical Co-op has been experiencing growth

    Fall 2005 we contracted the services of a professional sales training
    expert (Sales Training Experts) who developed and customized
    process to improve the recruitment of prospective employers

    The methodology is based on CRM (Customer Relationship
    Management) principles broken down into 3 stages
         Stage 1 – Outlines the Process of Identifying New Potential Employers
         Stage 2 – Reveals Key Aspects of Handling Interested Prospects
         Stage 3 – Looks at the Hand-off Process once a New Employer is Gained (i.e.
         the Job Posting Cycle)

    1970 – 1980’s               Market Orientation
         Marketing becomes the focus of business sales activity
         Advent of strong consumer protection in the face of aggressive sales
         techniques


    1990 – Present              Customer Orientation
         A new paradigm centered on the customer’s perspective
         In the consultative sales approach, the most important skill is the ability to

Stage 1 – Identify New Prospective Employers
  Qualifying the Lead into a Prospect

      Ideal Client Profile: Typically the best employers are large
      companies with employees in the 80+ or - category. They are
      national in scope and are normally found in the Manufacturing,
      Consulting, Natural Resources, IT, Government, or Service Sectors.

      Let’s test this! What is the ideal employer?
              What will create the best opportunities for the students?
              What are the best conditions for students to learn?
              What about Small Medium Enterprises?

Stage 2 - The Process (Needs Satisfaction Selling, Learning International)
    Your success depends on your commitment to your customer’s success
         …your ability to help employer’s make decisions that contribute to their success

    Customers tell you how you can help when they express needs

    NEED: a desire to improve or accomplish something

    How do you recognize a need?
         The language of needs
         When making a sales call, listen for and recognize the language of needs
         If this is missed, you risk
              - Making unwarranted assumptions
              - Wasting both your time and the employer’s time

Stage 3 - CRM – Job Placement Cycle
    Employer Liaison Officer is the steward of…
         Where applicants are in the “placement process”
         Which posting are likely to be successful placements for our program
         Benefit will be to optimize the ability to plan workflow and report on status


    Its all about numbers. We have targets both in the Employer / Job
    Development (Opportunity Funnel) and in Job Placement (Job
    Posting Cycle)

Salesboom.com
    April 2006, after having tested a Software Based Application, it was decided
    to pursue using a web-based CRM Tool. Salesboom.com ®.
    It is important to note that the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and
    Sales Force Automation (SFA) are powerful tools to allow us to become more
    effective.
          MS Business Contact Manager met individual coordinator’s needs but not
          the team need
          By establishing one common database of employer “Leads”, “Accounts”,
          “Contacts” and “Opportunities”
          We needed to measure progress in both Job Development and Job
          Placement. By integrating the Opportunity Funnel with the Process of
          Tracking job postings
    In addition, the Salesboom platform provides capability to measure success
    more effectively through the standard and customized reports available.

Salesboom.com
    Why Salesboom?
         They were competitively priced (roughly half)
         The data and servers reside in Canada which has become a national
         security issue as of late.
         Higly customizable. Breaking ground in approaching Job Development
         from a Sales Model Approach (see The Sales Funnel).
         Salesboom extended solid support during the trial phase in order to
         prove that the platform could work for Dalhousie Technical Co-op

Reports
    Reports give us metrics that were previously unavailable
    This is important in generating Jobs Development so that
         We can identify the areas (markets or disciplines) that need more focus
         We can identify trends that impact our business
         We understand the health of our “sales cycle”
    Employer Development Coordinators need to be able to report on:
         Current status of Opportunity Funnel versus Targets
         Weekly “Accounts Report” to measure progression and results
         Assist in planning work and optimizing the work flow to achieve our targets
         A standard way of reporting will minimize effort in creating these reports
    Salesboom has a tremendous degree of functionality in this regard

Reports – Employer Development Team - Projections
    We have all become familiar with the “Weekly Scorecard”
    In order to fill up the projections on the scorecard, each team
    member needs to be aware of what is happening in their area of
    responsibility and be able to report on it.
    Employer Development Coordinators need to be able to report on:
         Current status of Opportunity Funnel versus Targets – This is to keep track of
         how many opportunities are at what stage of the funnel
         Weekly “Accounts Report” showing what opportunities have advanced through
         the funnel, which have been closed won and closed lost.
         The benefit of this is to assist in planning work and optimizing the work flow to
         achieve our collective targets

Adding Notes & Call Logs
    Notes can be added to Accounts, Contacts and Opportunities

    During the course of Job Development, you will want to create a
    note, usually it would be linked with the account, the contact you are
    dealing with and the specific opportunity that you are developing.

    The note should follow this general format:
         ACTION ITEM: this states the aim of the meeting as well as the “agenda”
         Who was in attendance
         RESULTS / NEXT STEPS: the outcome of the meeting and what action items
         were agreed upon
         DUE DATE: Due date of the next follow up or when the next step is to be
         completed
