HIRING THE BEST PEOPLE
How To Spot Motivation and
Attitude In the Hiring Interview
 

    


Steve Penny motivational speaker

Anyone who's ever run a business knows the experience of hiring someone who looked great in the interview, only to find their on-the-job performance falling far short of expectations.

Job interviews aren't typical work settings. With all the books and tapes available on how to impress the interviewer it's easy for many applicants to look great in the interview - but not necessarily show how they'll do on the job.

Studies show most people don't underperform or leave jobs because they lack ability. They lose motivation when the work environment or management style isn't a good fit.

While most managers interview to determine if a person's technically able to do the job, motivation and attitude - how the applicant accepts direction, feedback and works under pressure - are as important to know and are blind spots in most manager's interview questions.


Job applicants won't have rehearsed answers for the original questions you'll learn to use that will enable you to:

  • Know what you can tell about motivation and attitude by reading between the lines of a resume
  • Find out how an applicant handles feedback and working under pressure
  • Use non-threatening ways to get applicants to talk about personality conflicts and performance weaknesses
  • Spot attitude problems before making the hire
  • Get reference information that's honest and has real value
  • Spot dedicated people who will stay with your organization and keep employee turnover to a minimum

7 WAYS TO MOTIVATE PEOPLE THAT DON'T COST A PENNY

 

 


Motivational Speaker Steve Penny

Master powerful communication techniques that motivate using rapport building questions to clarify expectations, counter negative attitudes, and give people the language to express criticism and feedback without hurting morale.

People value personal satisfaction over money. Studies show today's workers value seven non-monetary incentives - like independence to solve problems their own way, learning new things, or genuine praise and recognition - as the most vital components of job satisfaction and morale.

  • Know the seven non-monetary rewards people value most
  • Learn concrete, nuts and bolts questions and techniques that enable you to maximize your impact in all seven areas - without spending a penny
  • Know how to tell when actions cross the line from appropriate control which every business must have - to inappropriately controlling behavior that leaves people feeling disrespected
  • Master rapport building questions that counter negativity and workplace politics

Green Search Engine Optimization

 

Search Engine Optimization is the most cost-effective way of getting free, well targeted traffic that’s perfect for small business owners on a limited budget. 


Seventy to eighty percent of web users however, don’t go past the first page of a search result. If you are page two, you miss major traffic.


Because the search engine spiders crawling your site keep getting smarter, it takes an SEO expert with advanced algorithm analysis to track and keep up with the changes. 


Does it feel like your web site is just sitting there, not getting the traffic or sales it deserves?  What worked two years ago to keep the spiders happy and coming back simply may not be working for you today.


Most sites aren’t receiving the ranking they deserve because of simple, relatively easy to make changes the site owners or web designers are unaware of that’s downgrading their ranking.
