?? The Secret Weapon in Locum Tenens Staffing? Communication At last week’s NALTO -- National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations convention, Interim Physicians President Shawn Mullen spoke on the importance of effective communication in locum tenens staffing. Read the recap at https://loom.ly/k9Zz_1w or read on. During his “Mastering Success in Locum Tenens Staffing” session, Shawn shared invaluable insights on the power of fast, clear, action-driven communication in locum tenens. From waiting tables to winning cases to leading a top staffing firm, Shawn’s career path taught him one thing: The ability to read people and communicate effectively determines sales success. Key takeaways from his talk include: ?? Speed matters: Stop relying on endless emails. A five-minute call beats an eight-hour email chain. ?? Clarity wins: A conversation without an explicit request and follow-up is just small talk. ?? Bridging the gap: The next generation of recruiters needs help mastering verbal communication. His biggest piece of advice? “Pick up the phone.” Curious about his complete framework for better communication?
