The busyness of the holiday season is behind us for the most part. Now the busy time has fully transitioned over to my dispatching business. When I initially visited the Dispatch University, I had no idea what the full concept of dispatching was. I would see many of job postings around this title. Seeing this.I decided to deep dive a bit further and see what it was all about. For about a good solid week i was online reading up on watching videos etc. During this research, I came across a video that displayed @Gurpreet Gill picture on it and the titel of "How to become a Dispatcher" clicked on it, and from there binge watched many more of his postings. Which is how I ended up at Gill Dispatch Skool. A few days after that, I joined Dispatch University. Over the last 5 weeks, I LEARNED so much within the videos, Everything thoroughly explained, hours of note taking (literally wrote a novel of notes) and just lightbulbs inmy head going off daily. I definitely can say that I learned much more on the DNS, website building side of things, with a lot of trial and error. (more error) for me lol! But got through most of it. When I reached week 4, I took a break and let the holidays take over with some time away from many of things. But have since picked back up after the New Year. (Happy New year to all!) As I got my business officially in place, i utilized setting up my cold & warn leads concepts through social media, Made flyers and business cards that I inserted into goodie bags that I made for Owner Operators for the holiday season, took those and personally handed them out on Christmas Eve. From there, I decided that I would initiate another step, AND do a different type of lead generating. What did I decide on you say? Well, I turned my LinkedIn Account into a Employer seeking Employee page from a personal account. I figured this could be a unique way of getting inquiries as well. ANNDDDD, with that being said, in day one, I received 7 applicants, each day from there at least 1 more applicant and in that week a total of 14 applicants. As I get applicants, I read through each resume, qualifications and responses to the additional questions that I ask. Not all applicants are a good fit (as that may arise) but I interview the applicants of choice, just as if they are applying for any other position.
