Bio
Bernie Geiss
Recently we engaged a consultant to help us build a marketing plan. The major takeaway was that we needed a marketing manager to fully implement the plan. Faced with the daunting task of finding someone with the right skills, in this very competitive field and who would fit into our unique culture and mission, we engaged People First Solutions. Adrienne and Bob were (are) amazing. Not only do we love them as people but their approach to doing the search, vetting candidates and managing the process put our minds completely at ease. We immediately felt confident that we were in the right hands. Not only was the process a joy they found us that "perfect fit" and we haven't looked back. Our new hire brought passion for both their craft and our mission and is a very fine person adding something special to our team. I wholeheartedly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking to find that special someone, regardless of the role, to fill a gap or to take you to the next level. We will use People First again in a heartbeat when we are ready to take the next big step into Cove's future.

I was recruited by Adrienne for my current role. The process was very in-depth to ensure that I was the right fit for the organization and vice versa. Adrienne was amazing throughout the process. She helped to prepare me for the interviews, debriefed afterwards and was available at all hours for questions and input. She has such a positive and warm energy and really helped guide me through this huge transition.

Apr 2018 - Present
My partner Bob Murray and I took an exciting leap into the online business world by starting our own affiliate marketing and online mentoring business. Wake the Fun Up™ is a brand that we created after “waking up” to the reality of the disruptive age we are living in, where rapid advancements in technology are impacting almost every business, including Executive Recruiting which has been our primary industry for over 20 years. While many businesses are suffering from the disruption, it is safe to say that online business is here to stay and will continue to flourish in this digital age. We are affiliated with an amazing online educational program which teaches people how to start their own digital business (such as affiliate marketing, e-commerce, network marketing, online coaching and more) and shows the exact strategies that successful online entrepreneurs have used to build six or seven figure businesses. We have the privilege of helping other people who are looking for ways to make an income online. We are excited to connect people with the same online entrepreneur community we are a part of, where you get all the necessary resources, peer support and mentorship you need to build a successful digital business! We can help you if you want to… ✔ Work anytime, anywhere. You decide – as long as you have a laptop, an internet connection and a phone, you can work from anywhere! ✔ Earn a scalable income. The Internet has made it possible to build new types of income streams that allow you to put in the work once and continue to reap the benefits. ✔ Enjoy a more flexible lifestyle. Long commutes and fixed working hours of a traditional office job do not suit all people. Working on your own business online can provide a more flexible opportunity. ⭐ SIGN UP to our 7-VIDEO TRAINING SERIES to learn essential digital business strategies for free! ☞ https://www.wakethefunup.com/free-video-series/ ✍ Questions or want to know more?
