Home Office Setup And Feel
SPEAKER_01What about like where you work from? Like do you have like an office? Do you work from home? Like what's like your setup? Yeah, I've invested quite a bit of time into setting up my office into an environment that I really like to work out of. So I feel like you would have an awesome home office. Uh I do. Yeah, yeah. And um I have a nice plant in there that you sent to me. So thank you for that. Uh but no, for uh for myself, I thought that was, you know, one of the most important things as well. It's somewhere I'm spending 10 hours of my day um in. So, you know, I got myself a nice chair, nice desk, new desktop monitor. Uh it's fully well kitted out, shelves, everything's matches. It's all duck woods and leather. So yeah. So once you come in, like you um you really feel like you're ready to work. And I think your environment's very, very important.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, 100%. So okay, you've got a really nice home office setup. Um that gets you dialed in, makes you feel a bit prof. Um I
Turning Solo Work Into Value
SPEAKER_00love that. Does anyone have um have you have you ran into anyone that like worries about you being a one-man band?
SPEAKER_01No, actually, uh, I don't, but what you do, like you can sort of phrase it in a way that um makes it better, I suppose. The part of being with XRecruiter is you're a bit of both. Like you have the backing of uh a bigger firm and you've got the insurances, you've got the accounts team, but you also are by yourself. So it's just you that's actually gonna be dealing with the client. And that's what I try to make as a selling point. I tell them that, you know, the whole way through, you're just gonna be dealing with me. I'm not gonna pass it off to a junior. You know, you're not gonna every single person that I put in front of you, it's someone that I've personally vetted. Uh, so I've got the eight years experience, and I know a lot of other companies as well that I come across that might have a BDM, but that's not who actually does the work. So, and that's the point I try to make to clients as well. I will tell them that I've got the experience, I've got the experience in the niche. I've worked with all your competitors in the past. I'm the one that's actually responsible for it. And it's my business at the end of the day. So I'm gonna be actually taking a lot of care into providing you a good service. I'm not passing it on to someone else.
