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.

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.…

Create a Recruitment Roadmap with These 5 Simple Steps

Earlier last month, in a recent article for CNBC, Research Director at Indeed's Hiring Lab Nick Bunker noted that this year's labour market is "getting closer to a marathon pace" in relation to last year's "sprinting" pace. And, crucially, this slowdown is "welcome," Bunker notes; "it’s the only way to go the distance.” Still, employers and job seekers alike need to proceed with care when looking to secure worthy candidates and job positions respectively. Employers in particular must remain agile and competitive to ensure they continue to attract the best candidates. The best way to do so, it seems, is…

Take Your Sales Career beyond Just Selling

With sales as competitive and a company's success as critical as ever before, we at Workwolf have been diving into ways you can improve your sales tactics. And one of the most common themes that comes up time and again is the need for going beyond just selling in the sales industry. Keith Snowden, for one, has been working in the med-tech industry for over 20 years and recognizes "This is not selling widgets" when it comes to live-saving technology. "What you're dealing with," he says, "is a very customer-concentric and patient-concentric business, which requires a high degree of technology…

With years of experience in radio and media, Hollis has an enchanting ability to instantly connect with his audiences and capture their attention.

4 of the Best Ways to Personalize Your Hiring Process

In September alone, 64,000 new positions—as Jessy Bains reports for LinkedIn News—were added to the Canadian job market. And while this is three times more than the expected 20,000 economists anticipated, it is still below pre-pandemic job rates. And it is crucial to note that these jobs were added predominantly within transportation, warehouse, and education industries. Meanwhile, numbers of positions in real estate, finance and insurance, construction, information, and recreation continue to fall. So, especially if you're looking to hire in the latter industries, how can you increase the likelihood of catching the eyes of top talent? We recommend personalizing…

Does Your EVP Support Your Business Long-Term?

It's been said time and again that the pandemic has taught many employees the importance of being adaptable and agile in the workforce in order to anticipate changes as abrupt and sudden as the ones we all faced in 2020. But what many overlook or forget from this lesson is that employers themselves too must remain agile in anticipation of rapid and drastic change.
