Service Industry: Technology Recruiting
The one sentence Michael would tell you about Mindmaven:
“Honestly, working with Mindmaven on our NRM Strategy was the best business investment I have ever made. Not only did it have significant influence on our short-term revenue, but [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][it] helped us build a foundation for growth.”

Why Michael was a great client
:
“Michael comes from a background in sales, he has built his own companies, and he has worked in recruiting for many years. He is what I call a true operator in the recruiting arena. Michael has shown what I would expect from any effective business leader: The ability to change, adapt and improve. Many of us know that staying flexible and receptive to change is one of the hardest things we face in life. We are creatures of habit and, unfortunately, not in the “habit” of changing. What made Michael a great client to work with was his ability to see the sub-optimal now, to envision what should be, and to work hard on taking the steps needed. To me that is the definition of change and a capability I love to see in our clients.”

What Michael said about the project we collaborated on:

  • In just 3 months we improved our win/loss ratio to over 80%.
  • Working with Mindmaven opened up new perspectives and new ways seeing our business, which brings us closer to our clients.
  • Michael has seen a cultural shift as a result and enjoys seeing team members comprehending “their business” in the “Riviera Partners’ business.”

Here is something Michael did not expect:

  • By tackling some of Riviera Partners’ core business objectives, Michael has also grown personally as a business leader.
