Mastering the Art of the Cold Call Leaders' advice

Mastering the Art of the Cold Call

Perhaps one of the most challenging elements of sales, cold calling is a notoriously difficult place to find success—that is, until you've found a practice that consistently and sustainably works for you. And mastering the art of the cold call can be a career-long process (if one even is able to master it at all). "In my honest opinion," Alice Wheaton, business development coach and profitability catalyst says, "only about 4 or 5% of salespeople are elite performers." This, Wheaton notes, is largely due to problems in both training and in growing up in a society that considers certain behaviours, such…

A woman wearing a brown blazer and khaki-coloured trousers is crossing a busy city street at a cross-walk, carrying a laptop case in one hand. The sun is low, shining on her at street-level, suggesting the end of a working day.
Implement the 4-Day Work Week with Success FeaturedNews

Implement the 4-Day Work Week with Success

In my opinion, blog posts published in January of each year are some of the most interesting posts, specifically because of the predictions they make of the coming year. Take, for example, the Time Magazine article from January that suggested "2023 could finally be the year of the 4-day workweek." And certainly, this strategy has taken off this year in an attempt to reduce rates of burnout—an article by Josh Bersin for Harvard Business Review reports that the number of companies practicing the 4-day work week has "tripled in the last few years." Nevertheless, it seems as though many still…

The Top Three Ways to Improve Your Business Strategy Career advice

The Top Three Ways to Improve Your Business Strategy

As recent article from Harvard Business Review by Graham Kenny reveals, countless companies fall into one or more of the following traps when executing business strategies: 1) letting too many people weigh in, 2) planning activity without concrete actions, and 3) not establishing means for remaining accountable for execution. And as Kenny suggests, these traps are common and easy to fall into—so easy, in fact, you may not even recognize them until further reflection. So, how can you both acknowledge these traps and therefore improve your business strategy? It all starts with recognizing each of these traps and their root…

How to Nail Your Response to This Top Job Interview Question Career advice

How to Nail Your Response to This Top Job Interview Question

How many times have you been prompted in a job interview to tell the interviewer a "bit about yourself"? Countless websites, including The Muse, Indeed, Resume Genius, Novoresume, and LinkedIn, place this prompt at the number one spot for most common job interview questions. And despite how frequently interviewers offer this prompt—and even how simple it may seem to answer—many candidates struggle to answer this question succinctly. Many assume they need to somehow summarize everything they've written on their resume and cover letter; others think they should expand on their personalities—their hobbies, what they do in their down time, and…

Five workers are gathered around a long, modern, wooden desk in a modern, light, and airy office space with large windows on one wall. Four workers are facing each other while working on the long ends of the desk, and a manager is sitting at the head of the table, watching over the staff. All of the workers are dressed in business casual, and they all have laptops in front of them at the desk.

Are You the Bottleneck in Your Business?

Recently, we've been seeing a higher demand for blog posts on advice for business owners and entrepreneurs. So, Workwolf Marketing Consultant Lara Kremer has been meeting with some very influential business owners and entrepreneurs alike to ask them what their biggest challenges were and how they overcame them. One such meeting was with Yoon Cannon, a business growth coach and three-time successful business founder, who herself works daily to support entrepreneurs who aim for the kind of success Cannon has found. And of the most common challenges Cannon has learned founders and businesspeople face, the bottleneck effect is one that…

Why You Should Rehire a Former Employee News

Why You Should Rehire a Former Employee

This week, a surprising headline took LinkedIn News by storm: "Why returning hires are coming back." We find this surprising because, as the author of the news article Riva Gold notes, for many, there is a taboo associated with an employee returning to a previous place of work—for employees and employers alike. It seems like a messy practice to take up, no? So, why should you rehire a former employee? We've got some pretty compelling arguments as well as ways to not sever ties when an employee approaches you with a letter of resignation below! Why Employees Are Returning to…

The Value of a Process and 3 Steps for Sales Training

Recently, we at Workwolf have noticed a huge uptick in the demand for sales professionals. In fact, just this week, a LinkedIn News article by Greg Lewis revealed that the sales industry was one of the most recurrent industries among the top ten most in-demand positions on LinkedIn. And as Steve Trang, a sales trainer extraordinaire, as well as real estate "disruptor" and podcast host, notes, sales can be a very profitable career path if one has the talent and work ethic to make it a long-term career.  But, as Trang recognizes, not everyone will thrive in such a career.…

Ghosting job applicants to become illegal in Ontario?

8 May 2024
The practice of job ghosting by companies may soon be outlawed in Ontario. The provincial government is spearheading legislative changes to penalize exploitative employers by proposing to elevate the maximum fines for violating the Employment Standards Act (ESA) to the highest level in Canada. The proposed ESA amendments will mandate larger employers to provide application status updates to interviewed job seekers. They must also disclose in publicly advertised job postings whether a position is currently available or intended to build future candidate pipelines. ESA violations also encompass failure to pay wages, discrimination against employees for taking pregnancy or parental leave, and…
