Want to schedule a call and see if we can help you? 📲 FREE Demo Call: https://www.entrepreneurjames.co.uk My name is Vincent Buckler I'm the co-founder of Baldur connect and we are a recruitment agency in a tech-space, based in Munich in Germany. The problems that we faced actually before joining the course so initially it was very easy for us to get our first clients. However, we soon hit the brick wall and our issue was my co-founder and our issue was you know how do we scale the agency it was very easy to get clients on board in the initial months but you know how do we sustain a bigger growth and actually feed a bigger team with continuous roles coming in and so that was one issue and I would say business development was unpredictable, and what that meant is actually then each month becomes very unpredictable so, of course, we were taught the old-school way doing cold calls and kind of old business development methods... And again our problem was that these are very time consuming which as business owners of course you know we don't have much time so that was an issue for us and yeah, of course, we wanted a stable delivery stable output and those were kinds of the main issues that we faced initially. In terms of the results that we actually achieved after working together with James so we managed to automate our sales process which was brilliant for us actually so much so that we at times had to turn off our automation tools because we got too much business coming in and we managed to achieve more of a structure to our week both myself and our co-founder my co-founder and yeah we outsource certain parts of our tasks which meant we could focus more on our day jobs and where we really bring value to Baldur connect and we actually managed to build over 800 000 euros in our first 12 months of trading and which we've just surpassed now. In terms of kind of further results, each month was more predictable in terms of business development which obviously was helped by the automation tools the client attraction tools and this also meant that we were able to plan our hiring so in terms of growing our team of course much easier to hire people when you know you're going to have business for them coming in and what it also meant was that our delivery consultants no longer needed to be good at the business development. We knew our automation tools were generating business development as if there were 10-20 people doing bd and so it also made hiring easier for us. Ultimately, it has really helped us now into our second year actually scaling the company in a predictable and structured manner. In terms of the best takeaways from the course so i would say the biggest takeaway that I learned was that you need to think not as a recruiter but you need to think as a business owner and not necessarily even a recruiting business owner - but that you can look to completely other businesses in other sectors and kind of use their strategies of how they built a successful company. So really thinking like a business owner not as a recruiter. I would also add as a takeaway - I learned to be very open during the course of this program. Even though I had already 10 years of experience and was open - not think I already know everything. I would definitely recommend this program to other people and I would say don't hesitate to invest in yourself. Purely on a rational perspective if you look at what the course costs you and what you actually get coming back in it's an absolute no-brainer. I mean, if you do one placement you already covered your costs and I could say we definitely have a big return on investment that the course brought us. In terms of new clients, we won several placements that we did as a result of the course so you know the return on investment was probably at least 5 to 10X. That's not even calculating the benefits that this will bring us in the long term. Finally, I would say it's actually also fun so you know it was a really enjoyable journey you're challenging yourself, so it's not just that you're getting a return on your investment but it's actually really fun you get to meet other people who are in a similar situation which psychologically really helps you. I can recommend it to anyone.
