Retained search mastermind
We found that many of our clients wanted to go further with their retained offerings, so we established the Retained Search Mastery Group.
It has grown into a community of smart, ambitious, and successful retained search leaders who collaborate to maximize:
- Scale, grow, and structure your retained search business or function.
- Find, hire, manage, and reward top researchers and sales consultants.
- Move up the value chain to the C-suite and secure six-figure fees.
- Win and deliver larger, more sophisticated projects.
- Consistently generate retained leads using digital marketing strategies.
Who is it for?
Search firm business leaders and owners who are already at 50% retained or more and want to take their retained offering, function, or firm to the next level.
Our members say they have never experienced anything like Search Mastery.
It’s not only the tools, processes, knowledge, and documents that we share; it’s the humility and generosity of the members in sharing industry-leading practices, cutting-edge tech, and processes, and how they accelerate their firms.
