Plug Into the Competition and Win
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
One important way that you can improve your odds in the job search is to research and be aware of the competition. There are two kinds of competition in this context: other companies in your field and other professionals in roles similar to yours. Always know who they are and what they’re doing. Endeavor to “know the competition better than they know themselves.” This will greatly enhance your competitiveness on many levels, and it will also allow you to jump on opportunities that others might not yet be aware of!
Here’s an example of how important it is to be “plugged into” your competitors. One of my clients is the President of a small advertising agency. Her client base is solid, her creative work is excellent, and she makes a very good living in this role. But the thing that my client is most proud of is the fact that her firm is the envy of every small-to-medium sized agency in town. Not because of the creative awards my client has won, and not because of how impressive her offices are – although these are certainly noteworthy achievements.
The reason my client is so envied is that she always seems to land the most prestigious accounts and the most interesting assignments. My client also has a real knack for getting the best designers in the region to work for her. The other agency owners in the region just stand around, shaking their heads in disbelief and frustration. “How does she do it?” they ask themselves, repeatedly.
Career Success Webinar – July 2022

Why is it that people have such a difficult time successfully negotiating their compensation? The reason we can’t or won’t negotiate is not because we’re incapable of doing so, but rather because we just don’t know how. No one ever taught us “the rules of the game.”
Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
Career Coaching via Video Conference
Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Safety – clients enjoy productive, one-on-one coaching sessions without worrying about possible exposure to Coronavirus
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more options with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via video conference is easy and effective.

What Clients Are Saying About Career Potential
[quote cite=”B. Rivera, Medical Nutrition Therapist” class=”cite-long”]When we met, I was right in the middle of interviewing for a new job. I was literally panicking because I had no idea how to negotiate salary and benefits. Lucky for me, you agreed to coach me through the process. I am very excited to tell you that not only was I offered the position, but I was able to negotiate a 60% increase in my salary from my present position! I never could have done this without your help. Thank you again for being there for me![/quote]
