It provides customers with a solution to further system integration and unify internal and external communications.  The new product serves to benefit the many staffing firms who utilize Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis as a lifeline for communication between their clients, prospects and candidates.  With Outlook TW, staffing firms can transfer information directly from their Outlook system into the core TempWorks solution with just a few clicks of the mouse.  

Retail jobs that have the greatest impact on sales and margins are commanding the largest pay increases. In an era of 3.0% base pay increases, the average annual wage has jumped 10% or more for jobs such as Sales Team Leader, Sales Supervisor and Senior Buyer. Although challenging to use variable pay in retail jobs populated by teenagers working part-time and turning over every two months, there are many other critical jobs impacting store performance that are increasingly on a performance incentive system. Retailers are looking for cost-effective ways of recruiting, retaining and motivating talent and the study found that incentive pay is becoming an important reward. Axiom Consulting Partners offers its "Retail Sales Compensation Survey Summary Report" in response to the increasing need for retailers to maximize the return on their compensation dollar.

Quicken Loans Inc. consists of Quicken Loans, Rock Financial and Title Source. Quicken Loans is the nation's largest online lender, Rock Financial is Michigan's largest mortgage company and Title Source is a national title insurance and escrow services company.

The new careers Web site is an important part of the Quicken Loans strategy for growth. With more than 3,500 passionate team members, and numerous awards to its name, the company is obsessed with making the mortgage process simpler and more convenient for its clients and delivering exceptional service.

Global:
The Nearly Personal Touch
Marketers Use Avatars to Put An Animated Face With the Name
For the Internet bleeding-edgers, avatars are de rigueur. Users create an animated online version of themselves that either mirrors their real-life appearance or transforms them into a beautiful, idealized online version of themselves, ready to talk with friends, shop and communicate with other avatars. Now, advertisers and marketers -- who have been experimenting with ways to reach consumers beyond television commercials, newspaper ads or billboards -- are turning to avatars with increased fervor. As company pitchmen, avatars spread the marketing message in an ever-more viral and insidious way by using friendships to hawk products. (Washington Post)

Dailies Strike Back At Web
This just in: Newspapers and Yahoo! in talks to reslice the ad pie
Major newspaper companies and three online giants are deep in discussion about the future of newspapers on the Web.
Yahoo! (YHOO ) and a loose consortium of newspaper publishers are mulling a partnership that would encompass Web classifieds, local news, and content packages based on general themes, like travel. This could drive more traffic to Yahoo's help-wanted site HotJobs (YHOO ), which trails its key competitors, and bolster future Yahoo moves into local offerings. Newspaper companies would build a network within what is one of the Web's top destinations and win a crucial concession in today's search-engine economy: getting a cut of the ads sold around search results of their content. It's a sore spot for publishers that this doesn't happen now. "Help-wanted is the quick cash," says one executive involved in the discussions, "but news search is the long-term future." At least one newspaper executive involved in the discussions says he nurses hopes that Web surfers eventually will pay small fees -- micropayments, in Web parlance -- for some newspaper content. And there's a push to get the newspapers an equity stake in the venture. But another newspaper executive who is familiar with the negotiations says the focus is on more immediate concerns. "In a more search-centric world, how do you guarantee better distribution?" he asks. "That's what a number of these talks are about." (BusinessWeek)

Yahoo HotJobs Offers New Advertising Tools
Yahoo! HotJobs has extended its suite of job listing products with the launch of the Yahoo Recruitment Advertising (YRA) program. Since job seekers rely on Yahoo for various daily activities from email to stock quotes, YRA aims to help employers and staffing agencies find candidates across the Network using its know-how in search and graphical advertising. With Yahoo Network Advertising, recruiters can promote career opportunities in other Yahoo properties like Finance, Mail, or News, and can possibly expand their presence in algorithmic search results with Search Submit Pro. They can also bid on keywords to get placements on relevant search results pages using Yahoo Sponsored Search. (Adotas)

Survey: Retention is Top Concern of HR Professionals
Nearly half of 1,000 HR professionals report that retaining workers is their biggest concern regarding "the bottom-line profitability" of their company, according to a new survey by Express Personnel Services. A growing economy and the retirement of Baby Boomers, the staffing firm reports, mean that companies are facing stiffer competition for top talent, and many employers are finding that their workforce "is slipping away" as a result. When asked to identify the top critical concerns facing their company, 47 percent of HR professionals identified retention/turnover as their top concern. An additional 20 percent chose recruiting/hiring. Training was cited as the top concern by 19 percent of respondents, followed by teamwork/teambuilding (9 percent) and morale (5 percent).

CareerBuilder to Sell Stake, and Suitors Aren't Shy
Portions of CareerBuilder.com, a popular job recruitment Web site, are up for grabs among several newspaper companies trying to piggyback on its success. As online advertisers migrate to the Web, most newspapers' revenues from online job advertisers are growing. But CareerBuilder is especially attractive because it is a national brand that is actually attached to newspapers and can increase their revenue while driving traffic to their Web sites. CareerBuilder's major competitors are Monster.com and HotJobs, a Yahoo operation. Gannett, the Tribune Company and Knight Ridder each own one-third of CareerBuilder. Their contractual arrangement provided that if any of the owners was sold, the others could buy that owner's equity. So when Knight Ridder was sold to McClatchy this year, Gannett and Tribune said they wanted to buy back Knight Ridder's third. (NYT)

CareerBuilder's Controlling Stake Game; Multiple Suitors
The speculation about the future of CareerBuilder has been rampant, with Ken Doctor writing last month on his blog that MediaNews might be buying some portion of it, post McClatchy-Knight-Ridder deal. Then Tribune CEO Dennis FitzSimons also publicly said last month that he would like to increase his company's 33 percent stake (Trib and Gannett have the right to buy KR stake at market value, after deal completion), though it is unclear how the pie will be divided. Now this NYT story that Gannett and Tribune had private discussions at the NAA Mid-Year Review in NYC with several other newspaper companies about buying portions of the site, either as equity partners or as affiliates.

The IAB Launches A New Job Board Focused On The Interactive Advertising Industry

UK:
Microsoft to foot consultant recruitment bill for UK dealers
Wanted: 400 bodies
Microsoft Business Solutions is to foot the bill for recruiting 400 new consultants for its UK partners, to combat a severe skills shortage in the channel. The pressure is on for Microsoft to get enough capacity in its reselling channels before its Dynamics business software strategy gets off the ground in six months or so with the launch of the Vista operating system and Office 2007. The new releases will be used to spearhead a sales drive for the Dynamics range of ERP systems in the MBS stable. "Our existing partners do not employ enough consultants to ship the software we want to ship in the next six months," said Paul White, UK business group lead of Microsoft Business Solutions. "We want 400 more consultants in our channel next year. There are 1,200 now. We are taking this capacity issue very seriously," he said. (ChannelRegister)

Deep Release:
TrueAdvantage Delivers Qualified Leads with New Technology-Enabled Lead Generation System

Eliminates tedious research giving sales professionals first-mover advantage

TrueAdvantage(R) announced the availability of TrueAdvantage 4.0, its new qualified lead generation system. The subscription-based solution leverages TrueAdvantage's unique SmartTrigger(R) technology to automatically mine the Internet and over 20,000 business information sources, structure that information, and filter it to deliver qualified leads directly to the salesperson at the earliest possible point in a prospect's buying cycle. TrueAdvantage has become the definitive way to reach high-propensity-to-buy prospects.

This latest release makes it even easier for salespeople to quickly get maximum value from TrueAdvantage via improved ease of use, expanded profiling options, and leads from an additional ten million companies. All new functionality is fully integrated with Salesforce CRM and CRM OnDemand (from Oracle, formerly Siebel). TrueAdvantage currently enables salespeople at over 350 companies to contact the right person at the right time without time-consuming research and at a low cost per lead. "TrueAdvantage 4.0 provides salespeople with real-time notification of specific 'sales trigger events' that indicate a high propensity to buy their company's products or services, and enough information about a particular prospect to initiate a conversation.

The TrueAdvantage lead generation system works like a personal digital prospecting assistant," explains Joe Petro, TrueAdvantage's Vice President, Development and Operations. "A salesperson can 'set it and forget it.' After initially configuring it for pertinent sales triggers and territory requirements, the salesperson automatically gets hot leads delivered via email, a portal, or directly within a CRM system." Among TrueAdvantage's customers is Yahoo Hot Jobs!, where real-time leads are delivered directly into the company's CRM system. "Using TrueAdvantage, Yahoo Hot Jobs! has closed ten times more business than we did with alternative lead generation and research solutions," said Erin Brockman, director of sales operations, Yahoo Hot Jobs!.

 "TrueAdvantage worked closely with us to develop a profile of the ideal prospect, including identification of meaningful 'sales trigger' events at targeted companies that indicate a high probability of buying what we sell. Actionable real-time insights from TrueAdvantage help our sales team to get in early and make the sale. It's information that they never had before, despite extensive, time-consuming research."

Why TrueAdvantage Works

TrueAdvantage enables salespeople to spend their time in front of prospects -- not researching for highly qualified leads. It helps them gain first-mover advantage by getting to high-probability prospects early in the buy cycle and ahead of competitors. As the 'first mover' on an opportunity, a salesperson using TrueAdvantage can: * Start building critical relationships early * Influence buying criteria in his/her company's favor * Sell more, by establishing the product's value early and increasing his/her close rate "With vast product and application details being researched on the Internet, increasingly buying cycles are starting well in advance of sellers' knowledge.

TrueAdvantage provides users the 'first-mover advantage' position, which maximizes their influence during those early, critical moments in the buy cycle," said Jim Dickie, managing partner, CSO Insights. "Legacy lead generation systems have not focused squarely on the business triggers that imply a propensity to buy. With its new offering, TrueAdvantage is delivering true, qualified leads to its customers and has breathed new life into lead generation solutions."

How TrueAdvantage Works

In contrast to the tedious online research that many salespeople conduct, TrueAdvantage's unique SmartTrigger technology automatically mines the Internet and over 20,000 business information sources, structures that information, and filters it to produce SmartTriggers. When each salesperson first begins to use TrueAdvantage, he/she uses built-in wizards to indicate a geographic sales territory, the types of companies that are of interest, business events that are likely to indicate imminent purchases of the products sold by that salesperson, and the preferred delivery method for leads. TrueAdvantage pinpoints business events that indicate organizations with a high propensity to buy -- events such as management changes or construction of a new building. This information is organized into more than 150 business-related categories. Each categorized event is linked to a specific company record in order to produce SmartTriggers -- more than 25,000 each day, indicating high propensity to buy situations. Using the criteria set by each salesperson, TrueAdvantage delivers relevant leads via the preferred delivery method.

What's New in Release 4.0

Improved ease of use and expanded profiling options make it even easier for salespeople to quickly get maximum value from TrueAdvantage: * User interface improvements make it simpler to "set it and forget it," and start benefiting from TrueAdvantage. Easy-to-use wizards and menus help salespeople to more easily set up their profiles, lead criteria and triggers. Profile and criteria information has been consolidated into a single location for easier access and review.

  • Profiling options more closely parallel how salespeople operate. For instance, a salesperson that covers multiples territories or types of prospects, each with unique lead criteria, can set up multiple profiles to reflect the distinctive lead criteria for each of them. TrueAdvantage aggregates and delivers the leads specific to each of these profiles.
  • Users can specify the frequency of lead delivery, ranging from hourly to daily.
  • The My True Leads page of lead details is better organized and easier to manage.
  • Salespeople can now bulk load triggers or companies into their Salesforce CRM Accounts or True Leads tab. In addition, TrueAdvantage now produces leads on an additional ten million companies.

 All new functionality is available from within Salesforce CRM and CRM OnDemand (from Oracle, formerly Siebel), further enhancing TrueAdvantage's value in accelerating their use by sales teams. About TrueAdvantage TrueAdvantage's innovative technology-enabled qualified lead generation system delivers timely and highly qualified leads to sales professionals. Its unique SmartTrigger(TM) technology enables salespeople at over 350 companies to contact the right person at the right time for the right reason.

TrueAdvantage users spend more time in front of their prospects selling, instead of researching; gain first-mover advantage by reaching high-probability prospects early in their buying cycles; and dramatically increase sales results by improving their close rates and average selling price. TrueAdvantage leverages the power of its SmartTrigger technology to continually scan more than 20,000 sources of business information and the Internet for over 150 categories of "trigger events:" business events that typically indicate a high propensity to buy. It produces over 25,000 of these new SmartTriggers every day. Triggers that match criteria set by an individual salesperson are linked with company sales intelligence and delivered to that person's desktop, either via email or directly into a CRM system, as true leads.
