Every week I receive at least one email from a podcast listener or newsletter reader where the person asks me this question: "Ben, how do we get more clients/customers for our HR business?" However, there's a problem . . . If you want better outcomes, you need to dive deeper and ask better questions. In this solo episode I'm going to walk you through some of the typical questions I work through with our HR business marketing clients as we build out and scale up their marketing plans. Such questions include: How well is our business positioned? What are our offers and how good are they? What are we doing to convert website visitors into sales leads? What are we doing to nurture our sales leads? What unpaid marketing channels are we using and how are they performing? What paid marketing channels are we using and how are they performing? What are we doing to improve our conversion rates? How do we scale up? And more... Reference from the show: HR Marketing Services.

Today I'm joined on the show by Andrew Bartlow, former CHRO and now author and Founder of the People Leader Accelerator, an exciting 'mini HR MBA' for senior HR leaders.
