    The Secret to Higher Fees & Margins - and the psychology of pricing

    The Secret to Higher Fees & Margins - and the psychology of pricing

    This week we catch up with the wonderful Jon Brooks of The Value Advantage - and discover the secrets to billing with bigger fees and margins in recruitment. 

    We uncover the psychological science behind charging more - and how at the core, providing meaningful value to your clients is the cornerstone of that.

    Listen out for the answers to these key questions:


    How do you scientifically analyse the cracks in your pricing model?
    Should you ever "undercut" your competition?
    How can you overcome a pricing objection from a client?
    Should you ever bend your pricing model for a client?
    How should you start when negotiating your fees?
    How do you fully optimise your pricing model and strategy?

    I'm sure you'll find the episode fascinating and insightful - don't be afraid to share it with those who you think could really benefit!

    The Recruitment Marketing Revolution - with award-winning recruitment marketeer Kris HollandToday we’re going to be hearing from award winning recruitment marketeer Kris Holland of Charlton Morris. Kr

    Today we’re going to be hearing from award winning recruitment marketeer Kris Holland of Charlton Morris. Kris started working at Charlton Morris as a recruiter - and now heads up their marketing department. 

    After winning at the prestigious 2021 Recruiter Awards just a few weeks ago, Kris joins us to reflect on his approach, how he’s chosen to do things differently, and how leveraging consultants expertise can maximise your marketing. 

    You'll discover:


    How to market yourself as a recruiter (and how not to)
    What it takes to change the industry for the better
    How to sell recruitment in a world where anyone can get a LinkedIn Recruiter account
    Why recruitment has a bad rep (and how to change it)
    Why his team's work at Charlton Morris has been recognised
    How you measure the success of your marketing efforts
    The responsibilities of large recruitment businesses - and the challenges facing smaller businesses

    Let us know what you think - and what ideas you'll be taking forward from this episode.

    As ever, do continue to let us know what you'd like us to cover in future - and we'll deliver it to you!

    Run Out Of Toilet Roll?! Fixing the Logistics Sector with Jonathan Morey of Red12 Recruitment

    Run Out Of Toilet Roll?! Fixing the Logistics Sector with Jonathan Morey of Red12 Recruitment

    There’s no toilet rolls on the shelves again! There’s barely enough fuel to go around, if you’re lucky enough to find any at all!

    But is this a problem that’s been in the post for the logistics sector for a long, long time?

    Today we talk to Jon Morey, a specialist logistics recruiter and sector expert, about the challenges which face the industry he knows and loves:


    Why this is a UK specific problem (before you consider IR35 and Brexit)?
    Why is the candidate pool in logistics an ageing one?
    Why aren’t younger workers attracted to the industry?
    What can be done to turn things around?
    Is it as simple as raising salaries - or is there something deeper in play?
    Does a person-led approach lead to greater returns when it comes to your commercials?

    Also in our conversation, you should listen out for a strong advocation for the oldest marketing strategy since time began, and why treating your candidates as human beings shouldn’t be the exception, but the rule.

    This is a fascinating conversation, with a look behind the curtain at a situation which has affected all of us over the last few weeks and months.

    Make sure you don't miss out - and subscribe today!

    Is there anything you'd like us to cover in future episodes?

    Any guests you think we should have?
