Examples of Movement
The consequence of a changing market is that people are in motion, and some are ready to buy. People who want progress.
We’re looking to spot their energy, their momentum, away from a situation that can no longer work. To spot their “enough is enough” moment. “I’m ready for something else now”.
So here are some examples:
—

Help me to a place where I have marketable expertise again.
The company is growing, and we can’t get enough good talent.
