How is your week going?
As we hurtle towards the end of another week, I am in a reflective mood. The seasons have changed, its feeling decidedly crisp in the UK and I have even had discussions about the "C" word yes... yes, that's Christmas.
?
So we have 10 weeks really before we can hang up our boots, stick the telly on and get out the Quality street! ??
?
But there is so much good stuff we can do now, so that Q1 of 2025 starts off in the best way possible.

You may have seen my LinkedIn live with Alex Arnot yesterday. Billed as being useful for leaders BUT the more I think about it - the more I have realised there are many pearls of wisdom for everyone in this.
You can catch up here:
Alex and I shared some real golden nuggets for you - what activity to focus on, what makes an "A" client, and how to keep motivated as we start that run up to the slow down.

We covered:
?Things are feeling tough at the moment – what are your top 3 tips to keep teams engaged between now and Christmas?
??What are realistic billing targets to give recruiters who have a limited client base?
?What % of overall revenue should come from existing Vs new clients?
??Should we be targeting temp/freelance/contract business as a way of creating guaranteed future revenue?
?When it comes to existing business, what should I be thinking about when considering future company value?
??How can we upgrade the clients we work with so have stronger relationships where they trust our judgement more??
So I guess my Thursday tip this week is simply to watch it! And let me know how it has helped you.
