Don’t call a potential client and tell them about the company you work for or your previous experience. Clients don’t care! You know that candidate who’s an ideal fit for their organisation? Tell the client about them! That’ll get their interest, and you talk about yourself later.

Don't forget you can send in your Inspiration or Confessions of a Recruiter; we'll publish the latter anonymously if you like and don't worry it doesn't need to be didactic!
