What is This Blog All About?

First and foremost – WELCOME!

For years, HAMMER Consulting has operated like a traditional search firm: Work closely with clients to find exceptional technology sales talent. In 2007, Kent and I began talking about additional services we wanted to add. Again and again, we kept coming back to the disproportional amount of professionals we met during our daily conversations who were extremely frustrated by their job search. We wanted to develop a solution to address that pain directly.

Earlier this year, I began working on a 30 day program which includes one-on-one coaching and comprehensive guidance for individuals executing a search. Drawing on almost a decade of executive search experience, this allows me to do a number of things:

- Coach on developing the best resume for your search

- Showing individuals how to use their un-tapped network to uncover jobs WITHOUT looking applying through websites, job boards, etc...

- For software sales professionals, I can provide fresh information “from the street” on companies, how they are performing and their management team

- As a consultant to YOU, the job seeker, I can provide objective, dispassionate guidance to help you find and secure the opportunity you want. Search firms and hiring managers have their own agendas – my agenda is fused with yours.

- Through our program, you participate in roundtables (anonymously) with other likeminded professionals to discuss their successes and how to overcome issues they are finding in their job search.

Our HAMMER Letter has been providing information on a monthly basis on topics relative to technology sales and sales leadership. Through this blog and our supporting training, I will hone in on the other side of the equation: the job seeker.

I look forward to getting your feedback. Please feel free to contact me with any question about our consulting services, HAMMER Consulting, topics you might like to see us cover or simply to say “hello!”
