A Modern Sales Blueprint for Selling Recruitment Process Outsourcing Solutions
Join the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association (RPOA) for a 30-minute fireside chat with industry veterans Brian Lile, Founder of SalesFire Consulting, and Ruba Asmussen, Founder and CEO of RTA Consulting. Drawing from Brian’s new book, Message. Motion. Measure. A Sales Playbook for Modern Staffing Recruiting Firms, this session breaks down the three core principles of effective RPO selling: crafting a clear, compelling message, executing consistent and disciplined outreach, and measuring the actions that truly drive results.
Brian will share a proven framework shaped by his 25-year career in recruiting and staffing—offering practical guidance for sharpening value propositions, scaling business development efforts, and applying data-driven feedback loops. Ruba will bring a complementary perspective from her work leading an embedded recruitment and RPO practice that helps small and mid-sized companies build high-performing internal talent engines using modern tools and methods.
How to clearly articulate the value and differentiation of RPO solutions using the “Message” principle.
Techniques for scaling outreach and driving consistent business development activity through “Motion.”
Methods for evaluating what works—using feedback loops, data, and simple metrics to improve sales performance under “Measure.”
Practical examples from Brian’s sales framework and how they apply specifically to RPO offerings.
Insights from Ruba’s experience helping organizations build modern, tech-enabled recruitment engines and how these lessons elevate RPO selling.
Whether you’re refining your sales strategy or expanding your RPO offering, this conversation will provide actionable insights you can apply immediately.
