STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM YOU WILL SOLVE
Companies don’t hire employees, particularly executives, to fill headcount. They hire solutions to key problems. Will you help the company:• Generate new market opportunities?• Reduce operational inefficiencies?• Address competitive threats?Be specific about your unique value!

STEP 2: UNDERSTAND THE DEMAND FOR YOUR SERVICES
Once you know what problem(s) you’ll solve, you must know which companies need your help. Do your homework.• In some cases, companies may not yet realize
that they have this need. – This gives you the chance to proactively present
yourself as the solution, rather than respond to a pre-defined opportunity.

STEP 3: DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE MARKETING STRATEGY
Once you’re clear on your targets, you need a powerful and consistent marketing strategy, which includes:• A clear and compelling value proposition• A cohesive career story that weaves together
your past experience and ties it to your target• A career portfolio, including an executive
resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile

for introductions to people at the targets you identified in Step 2.
