"I'd like to hear how you do it!  Just once!"

"Can I listen in sometime?"

I hear these and other similar remarks almost daily in my phone sourcing career.

Now you can do/be all of these things with a 2 hour webinar/phone conferencing session that allows you to "listen in" while I make phone calls to your chosen targets for your chosen titles.

Good Morning Everyone!

TODAY is SourceChat at noon ET on the front page of the MagicMethod network.

Land here at noon for the ONLY always-frank discussion on phone sourcing!

Last week's transcript is posted here - it turned into a fun discussion about the events of an actual phone search…

There was a time (not so long ago) when you told someone you were a “sourcer” they’d look at you, bewildered and ask, “What’s that?”

Nowadays - not so much.

(Just about) everybody calls himself or herself a “sourcer” these days.
