On this episode of the You Own the Experience podcast, Robert Mann talks with David Folwell, President at Staffing Referrals and The Growth Co., and someone Rob calls the Dos Equis man of staffing: one of the most interesting people he knows.

People trust people - particularly third parties that don’t have skin in the game.  For anyone in staffing, referrals are arguably your most powerful tool, whether you’re talking about enhancing your brand or demonstrating marketing ROI. But how exactly should you be using them?  In this episode you’ll also hear about:  The differing roles of NPS scores and referrals in attracting candidates  How automation can help staffing firms survive through COVID-enforced layoffs  Why using text in cold outreach still works… if you’re smart about it  Check out the episode to hear more.  And don’t forget to submit your questions for our “Ask Lauren” segment via email to [email protected].
