Craigs List

<< < (5/7) > >>

PMRNC:
I don't use Craigs List, however if I see an ad in the paper, and let's say it requests a resume, I will fax over my resume but I will also attach a cover letter explaining the cost savings of outsourcing.  Some ad's will actually state they don't want outside company solicitations, and then I will just respect those listings. Be up front or else they are going to feel they were deceived and have wasted their time. JMO.

Michele:
I agree.  We do the same thing with ads in the paper but we too are up front with the fact that we are an outside service.  We also respect when they state "no outside solicitations".  What are the odds of getting an account that says before the meeting "I don't want to outsource".  That just increases your 'no's'. 

PMRNC:
Agree. If you do get to speak with them it wouldn't hurt to ask them to keep your information and maybe pass it along to other colleagues :) That's why I think it's best to be UPFRONT, it may not turn out to be a client but could be a reference or referral.

I like Craigslist personally but I've never used it fro business purposes per se so maybe that's not valid. Yes you do have to be careful there, lots of scams to avoid. But it is a free resource and i do believe in using all the resources available. I'm just getting started so maybe I'll change my mind as I gain experience but generally I like the place. I do also use a separate e-mail account for Craigslist and other sites, it's just a good idea.

I have also placed an ad on Craigslist, under small business. However, I have my email listed as anonymous, but I do have my website posted in my ad. I have not had any luck yet. I have also seen a lot of providers post jobs on EBAY. I have not had any luck with that yet either. I also have an account on MerchantCircle.com, which I have seen a lot of doctors on there as well. I figure the more that I network, the better luck I will have. Does anyone have any other suggestions of ways that I can market. I do the cold calling, send info via mail, fax info when requested.
