🔵 How much are you losing by pushing real training to "later"? ⬇️

You're not alone. Staffing leaders know their teams need help -- yet 63% say they lack the time or structure for consistent training. When it's delayed, performance is inconsistent. 

Without training:
 
• New hires flounder, mid-levels plateau, and seniors coast

• Managers spend more time fixing than leading, and revenue is unpredictable

The good news is with a repeatable system, your team builds skills, owns their numbers, and achieves results. You stop managing chaos and start leading performance!

How I help you:

𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗥 𝗝𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗬:
With decades of hands-on experience and a background in C-level leadership at global workforce solutions firms, I empower staffing companies to excel through customized training programs: 

•	Organically grew a staffing company to $100M with partners and sold to a global workforce solutions firm. 
•	Proven ability to train sales/recruiting teams, driving improvements in client share, revenue, and gross profit results. 
•	Expertise in acquiring and expanding Global & Strategic accounts, including Government Services and MSP.
•	Accomplished in selling Contract, Direct Hire, and SOW services at premier companies.

I launched Cobalt Compass to package my expertise and serve Staffing organizations.  

I've trained thousands, guaranteeing profitability in reduced timelines:
