Are you so lost that you somehow manage to drift away from reality? Have you lost your touch with the Market? Have you been blinded by the fact that everyone around you is saying that, so even i'm supposed to? Whatever maybe your reason to outline that there is intense shortage of talents, here is the bummer - There are huge talents pools out there waiting for you to tap. Just because your strategies & plans failed doesn't mean it's not there. Either change your approach or be struck with your illusion of Talent Crunch. There are a few Smart Firms who exactly do what others don't. These firms employ the Best Brains. Few such firms have never complained, cribbed nor whined about any kind of shortages.They have always got their fill rates on time, everytime. It is ridiculous for employers to

Although sales does happen through the web, there are still many sales strategies that need us to pick up the phone, or have face to face meetings, where building relationships is still the key to closing the sale, especially if you're in a services business.
