In this continuation of our series on business development for recruiters, Jen Allen-Knuth (aka Demand Jen) joins us to shares insights on effective sales strategies and the importance of challenging the status quo.

Jen's strategy is simple: she emphasizes the need to understand the customer's problem and beliefs before pitching a solution. When you do this, "personalization" looks a lot different from a simple merge field, but it also becomes a lot more intuitive.

Sharing examples and anecdotes along the way, Jen encourages recruiters to outthink their competition and focus on delivering a great sales experience as they begin their business development efforts. 

If you're a recruiter looking for tips on bizdev, look no further — this episode and all of our August episodes have what you need to take your BD to the next level.
