When one launches a sales career, one quickly learns to develop a thick skin. Rejection is part and parcel of the career path. Rejection in a sales motion has never bothered me. A quick no frees you up to chase down another yes. It is pat of the job. I was laid off last year in January. I have been doggedly filling out applications, leveraging my network, asking for introductions and referrals, and chatting with various people across my network. Here is the deal: I am a very good salesperson. I find great personal reward and value in helping my customers solve problems that sometimes weren't even on their radar. I believe wholeheartedly in creating relationships with my customers and being there through thick and thin, shoulder to shoulder, building a true business-to-business partnership. But even a thick skin gets worn raw from time to time. Because all of the cash that I had saved up from my successful years at Masergy, McAfee and Menlo has now evaporated. Thank goodness that I had the foresight to plan for a rainy day. Due to this unprecedented (in my career, at least) period of time, I have resorted to applying to grocery stores and other part-time gigs to hopefully support my wife, who is now the sole breadwinner. My skin broke today... completely gutted. Because I received this message: Thank you for your interest in our Cashier position here at Sprouts. Our talent acquisition team has reviewed your application. At this time, we have decided to pursue other candidates who most closely meet our needs for this position. Please be assured that your application was given full consideration. If you have applied for other positions, please note that this message is only in reference to the Cashier position.

New to sales? Here’s the advice I got when I first started. It was SO helpful. 👉 For starters, get out of email. Pick up the phone. 👉 Sell to power! You can’t get far without a decision-maker. 👉 And get the “no” as quickly as possible. As we scale our sales team at W3LL, keep an eye out for opening sales positions!

3 things to consider before you start hiring your next salesperson Here’s Arran Collymore to tell you more #RecruitmentRefreshed 🍋

Why Hiring Top Sales Talent is Tough Nowadays In today's fast-paced world, finding exceptional salespeople has become increasingly challenging. It seems that fewer individuals are inclined to pursue careers in sales, and many struggle to manage the pressures that come with the role. Yet, it's important to recognize that those who excel in sales are true champions in life.

The skills and experiences gained through sales shape them into versatile and capable professionals who can handle life's challenges effortlessly.

“Most recruitment rookies don't make money because they can't wait 12 months”   I saw this post from Trevor Pinder last week and, quite honestly, I couldn’t agree more.   One of the key life / sales lessons I’ve carried with me since my glory days (door-to-door sales) is that skillsets TAKE TIME (what a revelation).   When I first started D2D sales, I would aim to speak to 100-people a day, to find 3 sales.   Now quite honestly, those 3 people would’ve said yes if I’d knocked on and asked to punch them in the face.   Why? Because they were yes people… I worked the law of averages to find them.   So, across my 2 yrs in this role, I pushed myself every single day to learn, grow & develop.   ANNNNDDDD, as a result, I was hitting 5 sales per day within 20-25 conversations.   So what’s my point here?   As Trevor said, your skillsets take time, if you’re serious about doing well in this (or any) industry, give yourself that time.   Until then, work the numbers. Put a fucking shift in.   Because trust me, if you’re not willing to do it, somebody else is.

I placed a 7 figure salesperson. Ranked #1 at his company. And the only one with no industry experience. The lesson? Most look for industry experience first. And intangibles second. It should be the other way around. #sales #hiring #jobsearch #recruitment
