Since nothing happens by accident, it is best to plan ahead. Plan for everything but be prepared for the unexpected.
On a quarterly basis you should plan
How to get the next ten clients – Pick 10 facilities and set up a marketing plan to get their business.
How to get the next ten candidates out on assignment – Create a plan that best skill markets the candidates to facilities with and without current contracts.
Know what is going on – Plan to attend conferences, job fairs, association meetings and don’t forget to attend healthcare related events in your territory. EX: set up a water booth at a breast cancer walk.
On a daily basis you should plan
I find that if you start with your objective for the day it is easier to decide how to spend the day.
Plan your day the night before – it is best to walk in the door knowing what needs to be done rather than spending the day trying to figure out how to get it done.
Plan daily to make a minimum number of calls – I suggest 80.
