Hi
,
Throughout my years in recruitment, I have secured numerous multimillion-pound and prestigious contracts.
Winning these contracts has primarily been down to a proven proposal document I call the ‘Client Winning
Formula.’
This powerful document has been used time and again to beat the competition and win major contracts — including prestigious multimillion-pound deals.
In fact, one of the most notable contracts that was secured using one of these blueprint templates was to
supply temporary staff to the Royal Household.
This experience dates back a few years, but on one occasion, using this 'Proposal Document,' I was able to win, against stiff opposition, a contract to supply staff to St James's Palace, no less.
The contract was to open letters of condolences that
were received at Buckingham Palace when Princess Diana was sadly killed in a car crash back in 1997.
What was quite interesting about this assignment was how the mail delivered to Buckingham Palace is handled.
The mail was first delivered to the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace.
Yes, Buckingham Palace has its own Post Office, plus they have a police station, chapel, doctor's surgery, cinema, gym, squash courts and of course an Olympic-size swimming pool.
My, how the other half live!
Sorry, I
digress.
Now, bearing in mind that at that time, the late Queen Elizabeth reportedly was receiving around 400 letters per day with her regular post.
With the addition of letters and cards of condolences for Princess Diana, there were literally thousands of letters and cards arriving daily.
Now Buckingham Palace does not use the traditional Royal Mail postal vans.
When the post arrives, they have horse-drawn carriages take the post from Buckingham Palace to Kensington and then onto St James Palace.
Which, as you can imagine, because of the sheer volume of sacks of post being delivered in a relatively small carriage, it took an age for the temps to sort through all the letters and cards that were arriving.
To such an extent that, in the end, they had to draft in cadets from the local army barracks to help get on top of things.
One Friday, I had to get the timesheets signed off for all the temps that was working at St James Palace so that they could be paid.
But there was no one available.
So, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to go and search around
inside the palace to find someone to sign off on the timesheets.
And, of course, it had nothing to do with me wanting to have a little nose around.
Now, bearing in mind St James' Palace is not open to the public for tours unless you have been invited in as a guest, as members of the royal family still
occupy it.
Going in search of someone to get a signature for the timesheets wasn't a very good idea.
After a few minutes of casually strolling around, I heard a voice from behind me say, 'Can I help you?'
So I spun round, and an exquisite looking lady was standing there with a quizzical look on her face.
And you know sometimes when you recognise a face but you can't quite remember where you have seen that person before or even their name.
So I said to her: 'I know you,
where do I know you from?'
One of the security guards later told me that it was the Princess Michael of Kent, or to give her correct title, HRH the Princess Michael of Kent.
Talk about me being dumb and dumber for not recognising her, and it gets worse.
She replied, Yes, but I don't know you!
What are you doing in here?
Oh, I do apologise, but I am from the recruitment agency, and we have a team of temporary staff working on opening the letters and cards of
condolences.
Oh, Ok, that's fine.
So I thought, phew, she's not going to send for the palace guards and get me turfed out or worse still, arrested.
She then asked: How's it all
going?
Now it was on the tip of my tongue to say that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
But under the circumstances, that would definitely, definitely not have been a good response.
So, trying to think quickly for an alternative answer, I said: It's going quite well, we are coming to the end of the lollipop.
I know, what a dumb thing to say!
Lollipop, lollipop, she replied, Why are they eating lollipops? They're going to ruin the
cards.
So, to my shame, rather than saying: Sorry, no one's eating lollipops, it was just a figure of speech.
I replied: I am not too sure why, but I'd better go and sort them out.
Not one of my better days. But certainly memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Coming back to my 'Client Winning Formula' Proposal Document.
Winning that contract to supply staff to Buckingham Palace, against well-established recruitment agencies,
wasn't won on reputation alone.
It was won with a proven system that works — and it's the exact same system we now hand to our start-up agencies.
Here's the exciting part:
We'll give you my 'Client Winning
Formula' Proposal Document.
We'll even give you a targeted database of companies in your chosen sector.
And show you how to use this document to land clients quickly — even for a completely new start-up.
This is why complete beginners, with zero recruitment experience, are now running profitable home-based recruitment agencies.
Some are making six and even seven figures.
Now it's your turn to have your share of recruitment's £35 billion industry, and here's
