About this listen

Today’s guest is Lisa Colantuono, President of search consultancy, AAR Partners. With decades of experience and zero time for fluff, Lisa lays bare what agency searches should really be about - forging proper partnerships, not playing matchmaker.

Building on themes of trust and transparency, Lisa shares horror stories as well as best practice - including how new-business is never a numbers game, what great pitches look like, and why IRL counsel and feedback is so essential.
