Enthusiasm and the regular influx of new, innovate ideas make graduates an instrumental talent source for small to medium-sized businesses, argues Source Marketing Direct.
The London-based outsourced sales and marketing firm wants small businesses to fully comprehend the value of adding educated people to their teams – especially millennial graduates – this summer, as graduation ceremonies across the country loom on the horizon.
Managing Director Hector Montalvo was recognised for his influence on the sales and marketing industry, winning ‘Business Owner of the Year’ back in 2013, and he acknowledges the contribution made by graduates in assisting his own firm’s growth;
“Over the last few years I’ve seen the innovate spirit and unrelenting enthusiasm of graduates be a real asset to our firm. They adapt quickly to new technology and are eager to learn from the off,” stated Mr. Montalvo.
Recently, auditing, tax and advisory giants KPMG and Deloitte announced that they were improving their recruitment policies to combat the increasing competition from smaller businesses who are more likely to appeal to millennial workers by encouraging personal passions. Source Marketing Direct believes that small business owners must capitalise on their interest to graduates, and in return offer opportunities that allow them to grow personally and professionally alongside the company.
“Our leaders see graduates as adding a lot in the way of new perspectives, and this is why we continue to focus on providing a premium experience for graduates each year,” states Hector Montalvo.
Source Marketing Direct focus on direct, face-to-face sales through event based marketing and business solicitations. The privately owned, outsourced marketing firm has thrived in the industry due to the belief they place in their own team – with graduates being a vital cog in this process.
The key to innovation is combining old and new perspectives to make something better, and graduates lack the bad habits that can occur from working in an unproductive environment or position before. While inexperienced, they are able to provide small business owners with different angles and approaches to creative tasks, or for maximising business efficiency.
