Demand Generation: Can You Really Create Demand for Staffing Services?

It's a bonus episode this week, taken from Lunch with Haley.   Can you create demand for temporary staffing? Today, around 2% of non-farm employment are temporary jobs. With 25,000 staffing companies competing for that business, winning clients has become exceptionally hard. But what if you could create demand for staffing? What if you could help employers to fill a larger percentage of job openings with contingent workers? Some studies have projected that as much as 10% of non-farm jobs could be temporary jobs. That’s 5x more staffing. Think about the impact that would have for your business! In this Lunch with Haley webinar, we’re bringing together some of the top sales minds in the industry to talk about demand generation. We’re going to look at the ways staffing can be used strategically to help companies to control labor costs, improve productivity, manage risk, and capitalize on new business opportunities. And we’ll discuss how staffing sales professionals can use topics like these to sell more strategically and differentiate their sales process and messaging from their competitors.
