No pitch, just some research for a client of mine.

Aside from referrals, what is your biggest source of leads?

Facebook?
Google?
Physical Mailers?
Radio ads?
Your own radio program?
Something else?

Combination… dinner workshops, educational workshops ( no dinner) , networking, CPAs, referrals, etc.

Are you talking about leads for retirement plans? If so, I would suggest that mass marketing (e.g., radio) is a waste of time because such a small percentage of the audience has any control over what retirement-plan vendor they use.

I found that the best approach is a personal one, so any networking opportunity involving CEOs, business owners, and HR managers is worthwhile. I also ask everyone I know about their company's 401k plan, who the provider is, whether they and/or the company are happy with it, and whether they would talk to the HR manager or CFO about meeting with me to get a no-cost analysis done. Warm introductions are crucial because HR managers and CFOs get called every day about their retirement plans.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
