I have gone through some of the comments and found some of the query like  i am a MBA in Hr  ,or I have experience in so and so …. can i start a Hr consultancy? My answer is yes you can . Anything is possible if you make up your mind and its well said that “Jahan chah hai waah Raah hai”  . See if you are planning to sell your skills as a service provider,  the first thing you need to know is how it works and gain the expertise on it. I have mentioned some of the points based on my experience  hope it helps you

The important requirements  to start a HR consultancy  are:-

1)   Complete knowledge of recruitment process.

2)   Ready for hard work and long working hours.

3)   Presentable and Good communication skills.

4)   Basic accounting knowledge.

5)   How to convert clients?

Complete knowledge of Recruitment Process

One should know the basics of recruitment process and should be aware of the current trends in recruitment process as it will be an advantage because here you will be selling your this skill in a form of product or service.

Ready for hard work and long working hour

We all know that hard work is the key to success. And when you start something new you need to give it more time to make it successful. Same implies here as you need to be ready for long working hours as recruitment takes time.

Presentable and Good communication skills

One should be presentable and should have very good communication skills as he has to sell the recruitment skills to clients in terms of service. So you need to make them believe that you have that skill which they are looking into their recruiting partner and for this good communication are required to convince them with good presentation.

Basic accounting knowledge

One should have basic accounting knowledge because you need to raise the invoices regularly for clearance of bills, once your candidate joins the organizations.

How to convert clients?

Client conversion is “an art of convincing“. When you become an expert in convincing you will get more clients. Here you have to sell your services and you have to convince that as a service provider that you are perfect to fulfill their requirements. There are a lot of ways by which you can convert clients which include regular meetings with clients, being active on social networking websites, posting your ads on professional networking websites.

If you don’t have these skills don’t worry. You can develop with your hard work and dedication over time. Remember ‘Rome was not built in a day’. So be positive.

Dear Friends May the festival of Holi fill your life with radiant colors of hope and joy. GS Job Point Wishes you and your family a very Happy Holi.

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Positive attitude really help a person to face any situation I would like to add the story , One of the story goes like this….
Edison was in the process of inventing his well known invention-the incandescent lamp.The headache in this process is to find a suitable material that glows on heating.He was trying a lot of combinations to suite his need but in vain(it is a pity tungston was not popular in those days)our man is not going to give up.But his assistant was not as optimistic as Edison.One fine day he asked Edison with total loss of hope what on earth he was trying to do and how does he intend to find the right substance in this way.Edison replied “By checking these hundreds of compounds,i have eliminated the substances that does not glow.So i would soon be able to find the right substance in this way”.He does not mean what he literaly said.But this is an optimistic way of looking at things.Consider you have a glass containing some water.An optimistic person will be happy that it is half filled with water and a pessimistic person will be disappointed that it is half empty.Optimism is the only way of converting failure to success.
More of Edison and optimism stories to come later….

I am adding some of my  favorite paragraphs by Christian D. Larson which really helps in keep moving enthusiastically

“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

 To think only the best,to work only for the best
and to expect only the best.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

 So we should always keep positive attitude in life and be optimistic. It not only helps in professional life but also enriches our personal life and motivates us to keep moving whatever be the situation.  Keep smiling…….

Can anyone get Stability in business?   Where there is totally continuous growth and no loss? The answer is No, it is very difficult to achieve stability in today’s market scenario where there is lot of competition and advanced technology.

Now a day’s Stability is a big factor, even big organizations are struggling for it. it is something we can try to maintain .Business is full of uncertainty, Mostly it depends on external factors like customers choice, taste , budget etc .In economics we have read  about  PLC .i.e Prodct life cycle

The product life cycle describes the life of a product – from the day it first goes on sale to when it’s finally withdrawn from sale.

The Y-axis shows the sales of the product and the X-axis the time.

The product life cycle can be split into 5 sections (as shown on the graph):

• Introduction – the initial launch of the product, sales will be slow and costs high.
• Growth – sales start to increase as the product increases market share.
• Maturity – growth in sales starts to slow until they eventually level out at a constant rate
• Decline – sales begin to fall as new technology is released or consumer trends change.
• Withdrawal – the product is eventually withdrawn from sale completely

The length of a products life cycle can vary – from weeks to centuries

Now the question is how we can maintain the stability?  It can be by

• Innovation of new ideas or products.
• Target wide Audience.
• Updating yourself with advanced technology.
• Most important always keep something from your Profit in buffer so that any uncertainty can not affect you anyways financially which is the most critical part.
• Strong Marketing and Branding strategy.-I like tagline of an advertisement where it states “jo dikhta hai wog bikta hai” it does not simply mean that you should only be presentable and your service product is outdated or worthless if we see other side , it means that if people know about your product and service they approach you and they will give you a chance and we need only a chance then only we can prove our self.

If I talk with a view point of Hr consultant at GS Job Point, in our Profession we face lots of ups and down. Sometimes there are  lots of profiles for us to work on, which overloads us.. which is the best time for us. Sometimes, the positions drop to just few. In recruitment firms profit is calculate on the basis of number of positions we close, which is also full of competition and quite risky too. So stability factor a part of every Business whether it is big or small.

So friends Business is full of ups and down   profit and loss, risk and troubles it is the mixture of everything. Enjoy it and  be a good Entrepreneur. All the best

You’ve gotta have hope.  Without hope life is meaningless.  Without hope life is meaning less and less.  ~Author Unknown

“Hope”, amazing four words, this word play very important role in ones life. I still remember the initial days of my firm  GS Job Point , those days were really very disappointing because that time I used to do the business development for my firm either through phone calls or emails and every time i used to get discouraging replies. Lots of time, I had to listen “we already lot of consultants empaneled with us so we don’t require you or we have our own recruitment process”. The more I heard that answer it made me lose faith and often forced me to rethink whether I have taken right decision to start this firm or not? I spent lots of sleepless nights thinking am i going wrong somewhere ?  May be there was a fear of failure because i had started with lots of enthusiasm and never wanted to fail. However, things were not in my favor but  still there was a little hope that i will get positive reply someday. I had that hope before making any cold call. There was always a hope when ever I made a new call , That HOPE kept me going and you know what i started receiving positive replies.

I am sure every entrepreneur must have faced this kind of ups and down in their journey. Some might have taken their feet back after facing some hurdles and some  might have moved forward with the Hope that they will definitely succeed.  Those  who hoped for success and became rigid to attain it no matter what,  attained it finally. It is  well said “Without struggle, there can be no progress”. My firm  GS Job Point has successfully completed its three year and I have seen lots of ups and down and i know the further journey is not  easy but i still  I hope to take it a long way and I know I will.

Today i would really like to  thank all my Blog , Twitter and facebook friends because their association and comments motivates me to write more about my journey and they make me feel that they all  are supporting me . Thank you friends.

Lets celebrate and salute the noble cause,
Its our Nation which is shining as it was,
