For Business Executives – How can a competent Executive Recruiter best earn your business?

I have been recruiting for 10 years. 9-10 times after I have completed a search my clients compliment my professionalism and the results that I have provided. I do earn repeat business but I am always seeking input and new ideas. I am very capable of effectively filling 75k-250k+ searches nationwide (IT “trained at Microsoft”; Finance, “landed and helped dozens of major accounts with hard to fill positions” Pharma “I was an in house consultant soley charged with supporting 6 Departments and 13 Managers/Directors”; Sales, etc.)

I would simply like to hear your thoughts on what matters to you (a Sr. Manager, VP or Executive) the most. If you could share any positive experiences that you have had or what you look for when considering a new recruiting resource I would appreciate hearing about it. Please also share what you like the least so I can make sure I am not doing those behaviors.
Thank you.

Advice please!!! Pharmaceutical sales vs. capital equipment?

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. For many years, I have been curious about pharma sales, but many insiders have told me to consider (medical) capital equipment sales. What are the pros and cons of such jobs.

Additionally, I am concerned about my ability to land either position, as I lack the 2 years of outside sales experience that is standard industrywide. I do, however, have two bachelor degrees, one in nursing (BSN) and one in communication. I am currenty working as a travel nurse and making over 100k/year, but I still belive I can reach higher levels of success in sales. I am very outgoing, hardworking, and especially competative, so I know that once I am given a chance I will do well.

I am also ready, willing, and able to relocate and travel.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
