Some guidance for those looking to be recruited:
- Consider the 4 S's: Skills, Strength, Speed, School. In other words, ahead of each quarter set goals, plan to attain those goals, include measureables that indicate achievement. Review at least once a month. If at all possible, employ professionals to assist. If not, then research what needs to be done.
- Target your schools: Be specific. Start with 20-30, then narrow it down.
- Create a digital presence, e.g., an online resume. And as a part of your digital presence, install Google Analytics so that you can track visitors. When you send emails, use an email tracking device so that you can see who opened and who clicked.
- Showcase thyself: it allows you to see where you stand, how you compare, and based on that, improve. It also acts as content for your digital presence. PG is the leader in this space.
- Communicate with RCs and HCs on a regular basis (HCs open and click more than RCs!!). Point them to your digital presence. Be sure that to use your HS and travel coaches as conduits for the RCs and HCs to reach you. Track everything.
- Be a part of the best travel organization possible where you will play on a regular basis.
- Budget all of the aforementioned, and manage accordingly.
