From a COO: I start on Wednesday as COO of
The {omitted) Financial Group in The Woodlands TX.
Out of my 2,100 letters, I got 3 interviews and 1
offer so I would say my direct mailing was a huge
success. This is especially true when you figure in
the fact that I mailed in December 08 in a
deteriorating economy. Thanks for all your help. I
will keep in touch. KN
From a CEO/Consultant: I am still getting
new calls and emails periodically including one from
the Chairman of a public Alt Energy Company in
Colorado the day before yesterday. He called after
reading the letter (he has been traveling) and is
one of the few who did not access my web site first.
Within the first four weeks I had accepted two
paying clients and had about a dozen active
opportunities. I am still considering another six
client proposals. So far my income is above target.

From a Marketing Executive: "I have a deal. Got
what I wanted, including VP Channel Marketing and 2%to 4%
of top line sales, no cap!!! Will call you tomorrow
(taking wife out to dinner). Website helped me position
my argument and close the deal. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!" GS
From a CEO: "Mark has been invaluable in the
process of fine tuning ... and refining ... and improving ...
and managing ... and inspiring me in the direct mail program.
He has been an incredible tool and an oasis in the stress of
looking for a new job... truly outstanding." DC
From a President: "Mark, I wanted to thank you
formally for the incredible job you did for me through
JobBait. Your service was consistently on track with what
you promised, many times above and beyond the call of
contract. As someone who ‘ran the gauntlet’ before without
you (but with a major competitor to assist), I have even
greater appreciation of the service you provided. The data
you’ve collected is unique and second to none, ditto the
analysis. Your attention to detail and understanding of what
constitutes a professional mailing exceeded requirements. I
would recommend you to any VP or C-level executive wishing
to utilize this method." SL
From a CFO: "Time and money well spent. I wish I
had utilized this service years ago. Mark saved me untold
hours of frustration, over utilization of resources, and
wasted monies. By following Mark’s suggestions, I was able
to refine and broaden my search. He has an uncanny ability
to make me feel as though the final product was all because
of me." BK
From a CEO: "Mark, I cannot thank you enough
for your help. The direct mail campaign that you helped me
develop launched my consulting practice within weeks. My
clients now provide more income than my former job - and
it's growing fast! I could not have done this without you!
JP
From a President: "What I value most about
working with Mark is his professionalism and the advice he
gave me about related matters. Mark is candid and that makes
his counsel all the more valuable. I have dealt with other
outfits for mass mailing/e-mailing, and would not go back to
any of them after working with Mark." JM
Against all odds: A highly-compensated textile
CEO with twenty years experience (all in
textiles) lost his job. The challenge ahead was staggering
because textile industry employment had gone down 75% in 10
years. And he could not relocate because of family matters.
He targeted 3,300 local companies outside of textiles and received 17 calls, 8 long
phone interviews and 6 follow-up interviews ... all within 9
weeks. He turned down 2 job offers and accepted a third that
offered ownership. His thank you note read in part: "Six
years ago the retained recruiters found my new job. This
time it was the direct mail - a numbers game. Only 1/2% had
any interest but those 1/2% really needed someone at that
time. Thanks for all your help along the way."
DC
From a CEO to a JobBait client: "I want to compliment you
on your introduction and web site. Having a direct
marketing background myself, I can readily detect a
well-thought out strategy when I see one. It stands out,
head and shoulders amongst the fray of resumes and
approaches that we typically receive." Respectfully, GS
From a VP of Marketing: "Mark, what you've done is
amazing. I've been on the job boards and networking for the
last 2 years with almost no results. Your direct mail
campaign produced results in less than 6 weeks. I got over a
dozen calls, 4 interviews and an offer I couldn't turn down.
Then, after I accepted, I got another offer. I will be
telling all my colleagues about you. Thank you, thank you."
AB
From a Business Consultant: "You were right - direct mail
does work for consulting. I must confess that I was
skeptical about using this to find new clients, but it
worked. What I spent on direct mail paid for itself
immediately - I landed two new clients with contracts that
total $55,000 in 2 months and my sales pipeline is
now full. More contracts are on the way. Thank you for your
help." RA
From a General Manager: "Thank you so much for
your professional and personal touch service. I would highly
recommend you and your services to any candidate searching
for a new position. Your down to earth and confident
approach was a pleasant blessing in the competitive and
sometimes overbearing world of career guidance. You spent
the time on what matters most in a targeted mailing, helping
me select the most productive database of prospective
employers. I hope this helps future customers understand the
often confusing world of resume targeted mailings. There are
too many firms out there trying to take more money than your
services costs and deliver cookie cutter." KB
From a CEO: "Mark, thank you for your honesty,
candor and diligence. Your approach is refreshing compared
to all the other service providers, and you delivered far
more than I expected. I've already received several phone
calls and have two job offers in the works - and it's only
been two months since my mailing went out. Thank you!" GM
From a President: "Thank you Mark for a job well
done. You opened my eyes to a process that - until now - I
did not understand. I've landed as President of Xxxx with
bonus options that exceed my base. You were right about
targeting local companies - it worked better than expected."
BR
From an Executive Resume Writer: "Mark's a great
guy and I respect him a lot--I love that he has stats for
what is a tough sell--gives my clients confidence that he is
the real deal and not a rip off. His mind is a steel trap!
And he's an ethical player in a problematic field. Will
spend hours and hours with a client getting the details of
the list just right. He's one of the good guys and you can
trust him." DD
From a President: "JobBait.com and
Mark Hovind are unique. The business model that Mark
provides is the best combination of tools for the candidate
to present themselves to prospective employers. Mark's
passion for perfection is obvious. Every facet is covered
because every facet is critical. There are many added
benefits and street savvy advice that Mark provides that are
condensations of years of experience-too many to list. I
recommend JobBait to any executive job seeker without
reservation." MM
From a Global Marketing Director: "My search picked
up speed rapidly and I was very busy. I have accepted an
offer, just 2 months after deciding to update my resume. It
came through the mailing, as did 3 of the 4 most advanced
opportunities I have at the moment. My colleagues ... are so
impressed by the success of my marketing campaign that you
might get a few inquiries from [them]. If you do, ask how
they found you. It would not surprise me if I connected them
with you." JM
From a COO: "I have been meaning to thank you for
the help you provided. We have relocated to ... Florida and
love it here. I joined a $100M operating division of a $2B
... company as Chief Operating Officer. In addition, I just
received a verbal offer to over the GM role of the whole
facility, so all is going very well. For the record I
received at least 14 solid interviews with at least half of
these leading directly to offers. I had the luxury of moving
before accepting the job, because I had multiple offers here
.... The two overriding pieces of my successful job search
were great resume and the highly targeted direct mail. You
played a key role and I thank you." CC
From a VP of Marketing: "Hi Mark. I just got
another call from the CEO of a $464M international
company and once again the letter and website did
their jobs. Our first discussion was about 15-20 minutes
with him repeating back several items from my info. This
is unlike in the past where the discussions were always
more exploratory – rather, they seem to have confidence
in my value and jump right into discussions on how to
make it happen for them. I know the process was longer
and more detailed than I expected and the editing
sessions brutal, but the results speak for themselves. I
am now in the third week since my mail drop and the
calls and emails still keep coming in. They started the
Monday after my Friday mail drop and have been steady
ever since. Things are still popping. I just got an
email from a $2 billion healthcare company for a phone
interview with the head of their Global Talent
Acquisition at the request of the CEO. The results have
been great and looking good. As a result of your
coaching and packaging, I even got a personal note from Xxxx, the CEO of [$XX Billion company], in response to the letter, and my
package is currently making the rounds there. Once again
– thanks!" DM
From a President: "Mark, thank you for rescuing
me! As you know, my Board of Directors gave me a very
expensive outplacement package with [one of the largest
national firms]. Most of what they did for me I already
knew how to do, and after 4 months I was frustrated and
discouraged. Then a friend of mine told me about JobBait
and everything changed. You opened doors that I never
knew were there, and the results speak for themselves -
I got over a dozen interviews and two offers - one of
them as the CEO with Xxxx. Mark, you should be offering
your services to companies - they don't know what
they're missing. Now that I am the CEO, if I need to
outplace one of my key executives you can be sure that I
will be sending them to you. Thank you again." RM
From a CFO: "Hi Mark. I accepted a position
at a medical technology company in Minneapolis with
a substantial increase in total comp. In total I
mailed 1,177 letters and got 7 responses. The
website got 106 unique visitors, so nearly 10% of
the target audience at least viewed the website." KB
From a President: "Mark, I got 2 offers
within 30 days, accepted a President position in
early June. I was out of the job market for 6 weeks,
or really 2 weeks after I got the mailing together.
Ironically, the letter that won the day was shared
with a sister company that made the offer. Thanks." DM
