Protect Your Brand!

Quick – what company wants you to “just do it”. Obviously I’m talking about Nike. I would argue that their swoop and that catch phrase are two of the most recognizable brand identifiers ever conceived.

Who do you think about when you see their logo? Michael Jordan? Probably not anymore, although he used to be synonymous with Nike. If you’re a basketball nut LaBron may have come to mind. If you have to name one person who personifies Nike it’s got to be Tiger Woods.

Tiger no doubt has single-ha… Continue

It's not what you say, it's how you say it....

I have to admit that I’ve put my foot in my mouth plenty of times. Sometimes in my haste to get something said I say something stupid. Sometimes I’m so wrapped up in what I’m thinking that I don’t assess a situation correctly before I speak. Lets face it, how we chose our words has a tremendous impact on how people perceive us.

When engaged in a job search it is imperative that you’re putting your best foot forward at all times. That means you need to be very aware of what you’re saying. As a s… Continue

Apple Pie, it makes me happy....

Baseball, Chevrolet, Apple Pie. The “traditional three” when it comes to describing America. As a matter of fact, I just ate a big piece of apple pie with a scoop of ice cream at my desk, courtesy of RiverPoint. There’s a lot to be said about Apple Pie. But this post isn’t about apple pie, it’s about negotiating an offer.

Finish this sentence: “the 5 most important things that my next employer will offer are…..” Now you know where you should be starting in your negotiations. So many people thin… Continue

Dave - Nicole Lentz suggested I contact you regarding RiverPoint's use of focused radio advertising in your recruitment efforts. It has been brought to my attention that RiverPoint may have used radio in the past for your recruitment efforts. I would welcome the opportunity to come out to your office and visit with you about radio and recruitment. If this is something you are willing to explore, please email back or give me a call at 913-244-4424 with a good time to get together.
Thank you - Jeremy Snider
