For 6 and 7 figure executives who want and deserve the very best.

You'll spend about 1 month's pay to get 85% odds in 90 days. And, it's pay as you go.

(Networking, recruiters and job boards combined get 50% odds in 12 months.)

Here's what you get with JobBait: Unlimited personal coaching for your Value Proposition Letter (typically takes 15 to 20 iterations), Maximum-Precision Targeting (see how it's done), Mailing List Development (8-digit precision), List Cleanup, Custom Postscripts (to personalize each letter) and Turnkey Printing on the finest stationery that money can buy.

DIY? If you make $100k and do it yourself, the time you save will be worth $30 per hour. If you make $175k, it's $15 per hour. At $250k, we can do it for less than you can.

Engraved letter specification

Each letter is engraved, merged, imaged, offset printed with your signature in blue, folded, stuffed, sealed, stamped and delivered.

Your letter is executive-size, 24# Cranes Crest Natural White (a pale shade of ivory), 7¼" by 10½", 100% cotton, and watermarked. The header is engraved using a hard metal die. Your choices include grey (432), navy blue (540), deep maroon (202) or black. The decision-maker's name and address is merged in the body of the letter and laser imaged in black. Each letter typically includes a custom postscript. Your signature is exactly like you sign it, in blue - the diamond of your mailing - digitized, perfected and offset printed on each letter. Resumes are not recommended. See why. Your envelope is 24# Cranes Crest Natural White, executive-size, 100% cotton, and individually addressed to each recipient. Your return address can be engraved on the front or back flap, whichever you prefer. The stamp is a real, first-class 44¢ flag stamp, applied by hand. Letters are shipped to you for a local postmark. All you need to do is drop them off at your local Post Office.

Want to shop around?

We'd be delighted! In fact, we'll help if you ask. Our proprietary products and services are unmatched for quality ... and our prices are 33% to 50% lower than anyone else.

If you shop around on your own, here are a few questions you should ask:

1. Do their letters cost less the more you send? Ours do, by almost 50%.
2. Do they use metered postage that smacks of junk mail? We use real stamps.
3. Do they use "nice" paper? Ours costs about 2x more than the next best.
4. Do they use window envelopes? Believe it or not, some do and they don't tell you.
5. Do they use your return address? Some don't, so you can't see the returns.
6. Do they mix in emails to pump up their numbers? We don't. See why.
7. Do you have to pay for it all up front? Not with JobBait - you pay as you go.

Shopping around is tricky. You can get sucked in by the hype so fast it will make your head spin. It's often the questions you don't ask that come back to bite you. So, once again, if you want help shopping around, we'll help you. All you have to do is ask.

Want a guaranteed job?

There's no way to put this nicely, so take a breath before you read this. No one can guarantee you a job. If you're looking for this kind of guarantee, you're being a little naive and probably missed Marketing 101 in college. The exceptions are thinly-veiled, like resume writers who guarantee you a job by rewriting your resume as often as needed until you get a job.

If you're looking for a "contingency" guarantee, we don't know anyone who will invest thousands of dollars to market you and pay for all your letters and stamps up front - even if you offer to pay more later. You're probably thinking of the contingency recruiters - a 1% game - they send your resume (usually in bulk with many others) to employers, hoping to make their percentage.

Asking JobBait for a job guarantee is like asking Kinko's for a job guarantee when they print your resume. Kinko's is a service provider. So is JobBait.
