GENERAL REVIEW

Roy came to R. L. Stevens as an owner of a small start up marketing company.  While his company was growing, his income wasn't.  Prior to starting his own business, Roy was a very successful marketing professional, commanding a very high six-figure salary.  In his own business, he was only able to pay himself a minimal salary.  Roy knew he wanted to continue in his start up, but had to generate some cash flow for his family to survive.  he needed the security of full time employment, and knew his marketing skills were in demand in the city.  Unfortunately, he had tapped all of his own contacts, and nothing turned up for him.  That is when he came to RLS to solve this problem.

Roy was very excited, and ready to try new techniques.  He was anxious to begin the RLS process, and eagerly worked the RLS database, making networking contacts, direct to hire contacts, and watching the spot opportunities board.

An archived spot opportunity from December proved to be the right lead to follow up on.  A local marketing company announced a partnership with 2 worldwide film distributors.  As a result, Roy knew the company was in growth and expansion mode.  No jobs were listed on the company website:  without his consultant, he would have considered the lead dead.  He said, "Just like you suggested, I picked up the phone and called the VP of Marketing.  We had a great conversation and just as you predicted, they have been looking for someone with my skill set.  I couldn't believe a job might come from a source like this, but it sure did!  After receiving their written offer, I used your suggested negotiating techniques and went back to the negotiation table.  I got a 25% increase off of their initial offer, additional stock options and more vacation time.

I never doubted the guiding hand of my consultant.  She was sure, steadfast and confident I could turn this into a job offer.  Boy was she right!  I can't believe my job search is already over!"
