EOY 2008

Email marketing done right makes for the

most cost effective demand generation. The ROI beats snail mail, faxing and cold-calling by a long shot. Compared to other internet marketing methods - twittering, blogging, SEO/SEM, web-site development - email marketing stands out. It’s easy to do on a basic level and can produce stunning results when part of a comprehensive marketing program.

Sadly, a lot of professional people - staffing business owners, high-touch sales people, re-cruiters - have fallen for the fallacy that email marketing equates to spam at best. At worst they think it a scam and have consequently dis-missed it from their marketing programs. The reality is that every medium carries its risks of abuse. Although the quickness of email prepa-ration makes it susceptible to sloppiness, care-

Email Marketing Your Way to Staffing Success

will fail at email marketing.”

ful planning can make it your most on-target mediumPerhaps one reason email marketing hasn’t made itself into mainstream marketing in staffing is the sensitivity of our product - people. We’ve all seen the resumes that get blasted to us and have become keenly sensitive to how degrading that tactic can be. It’s no wonder that we go out of our way to assure both hiring manag-ers and candidates that we guard their confidentiality.

I will be running ongoing online seminars on email marketing and leveraging your Tempworks data-base. You can get the schedule from our website or by giving us a call. Upcoming topics include:

• Lead nurturing• Re-targeting to win profitable business• Re-messaging to add the human touch• How to beat the January staffing blues

Enterprise 12R6 offers increased efficiency and simplified processing for payroll, invoicing, and A/R.By Alisha Arnold

The 12R6 version of Enterprise utilizes payroll and in-

voice processing wizards that decrease training time for

new users and practically eliminate the possibility of pro-

cess errors. The wizard functionality takes the user through

the payroll and billing processes step by step. Each step

must be completed before the user can proceed. This

means that users will spend less time learning and process-

ing the payroll and billing and have more time available to

complete other necessary tasks. The improved payment

posting for accounts receivable includes both large batch

posting where multiple payments can be posted together

and a quick post function for single entries.

Enterprise now has an enhanced user interface that allows

for:

• Automatic job order posting to Careerbuilder and

Twitter

• More customization of the user’s screen with

different colors and backgrounds.

• Extremely easy-to-use functionality to add

new records, perform searches etc.

• An upgraded gross profit calculator.

TempWorks’ Enterprise offers your users a software so-

lution that they will be excited to work with and gives a

whole new meaning to the term “user-friendly software”.

Please contact us to learn more about how Enterprise can

increase your user-efficiency and reduce costs for your

business.

(Aka Chrispy) joined TempWorks in last year. Prior

to joining TempWorks, Chrispy was with IBM for seven

years at various levels of technical and systems support.

He is one of those people who punctuates their sen-

tences with a pleasant laugh or smile; very easy going.

At TempWorks, Chrispy’s main duties are system ad-

ministration as well as providing desktop support;

something that Chris does with a passion. He makes the

daunting task of ensuring that the hosted servers are

running 24-7-365 days a year seem like a breeze, while

on the other hand making sure that updates, upgrades

and backups are done in a timely manner without inter-

rupting the flow of business.

Chris is a self-taught guru. He spent a lot of time with

extremely tech savvy friends, learned a lot from them as

well as researching from books and the internet, cou-

pled with the experience gained from working in fast

paced companies.

Asked about his hobbies, Chrispy went through a list

which includes drag racing, snow mobiling (authentic

Minnesotan), four-wheeling, hobby grade R/C cards,

computers, video games and home electronics – need-

less to say, a mechanical and electronic gadgets fan…

Family? Chrispy was born in North Carolina but his

family moved to MN when he was four. His dad was a

Marines Drill Instructor… Chris chuckles and says, “…

imagine how fun my childhood was!”

When asked what he likes best about TempWorks,

Chrispy responds,

“The people, the work atmosphere. Period. TempWorks

has given me a sense of belonging.”

In the customer contact record on their Visifile, in the lower left corner you can add interest codes to a con-tact record. These interest codes correspond to what types of skills or job titles that contact uses for open positions. Once Interest Codes have been entered for contacts you can search for skills an employee pos-sesses and match them to a contact by going to the Contact record and clicking on the Search tab. Next, click on the Run a Search button. Once the Contact searches are displayed, scroll down to the “Interest Code Search”. When this is clicked you can enter the interest code you want to search on, and a list of matching contacts will be displayed.
