Marketing Podcast with John Jantsch

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I’m doing a solo show where I’m covering a topic that is very high on a lot of business owners’ minds and that’s the idea of recruitment and retention of your internal customers — your employees.

Key Takeaway:

Recruitment and retention are big topics in the minds of business owners today. And I think these problems can be solved with a marketing solution. How people choose to become customers has changed, and we need to be thinking about acquiring employees and customers in a much different way than the funnel approach. In this episode, I talk about how we need to start rethinking the employee recruitment journey and the steps to take to create the perfect recruitment strategy.
