Why do people often transition from sales to recruitment?       >> No weekend work. >> Uncapped commission + higher fee's. >> Structured + Clear progression within a company (You can see where you're future is headed!)   These are 3 VERY attractive key points about recruitment 👆   But why else?   >> Rewards! (Company incentives, holidays + days out!) >> Young, hardworking, fun environment! >> ‘Work hard Play hard’ – You get back what you put in.   I often speak to a lot of sales consultants who are ‘itching for more!’ and having the constant battle of grafting with little reward!   (+ Often they’re selling a product they have no interest in)   Common negatives I come across:   >> Split days off + weekend work. >> Capped commission structures + very high staggered thresholds >> Unrealistic targets + no rewards!   If you’re in sales and recruitment is something you’ve been considering, drop me a message! Or drop me a call on 07477 256 831   Happy to answer any questions/reservations you may have before taking the leap!

Happy Friday! 👋 Take a look at today’s sales story on the topic of top talent retainment: ”In the high-stakes world of high-value, low-volume sales, I quickly advanced from a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to one of the youngest Account Executives (AE) in my company. My initial compensation plan included a solid $130,000 base salary and the potential for $80,000 in bonuses, split between quarterly payouts and product delivery. Six months into my AE role, I had a nearly $100 million deal lined up in a new market segment I had developed from scratch. To close it by the fiscal year-end, I worked through my honeymoon and holidays, securing the deal by December 31. However, in late January, the company rolled out a new compensation plan, retroactive to January 1, that doubled bonus rates. Had I closed the deal just a week later, I would have earned an additional $80,000. When I asked for consideration due to the timing, management coldly replied, "If you didn't want to work through the holidays, you should have closed it earlier." Feeling unappreciated, I left the company within three months for a job that nearly doubled my total compensation. My former company imploded over the next two years.” What’s your take on the decisions made by this company? Do you believe management should’ve done things differently? Let us know in the comments!

Remember your first day of employment? Going back in time to 1989, the sales game has changed significantly. Gone are the days are selling on: • your appearance alone • fooling your customer with drivel and fluff • selling just on visibility • going for a drink or dinner to secure a deal Our customers today are wise, discerning, have lots more choices and a lot more companies are looking for their business. You have got to be a lot more street wise these days, give way more value and excellent service. Have a well positioned product at the right price. And never forget, a relationship based on trust. Lets get out there and 'shake the trees!' 🌴 #thegrowthcatalyst #salesadvice Image: my first day in sales 1989

Salespeople should use these priorities to pick the best job. If I'm job shopping today, I'm prioritizing: 1. Strong product market fit (PMF) 2. Strong brand and market awareness 3. Proprietary technology 4. Undeniable market demand 5. High average quota attainment 6. High average sales tenure 7. High average leadership tenure 8. Historic-based targets (not T2D3) 9. Profitable unit economics (LTV:CAC) 10. No growth-at-all-cost model You'll have some other details that matter like office, hybrid, or remote. But these outweigh most everything in order of importance. I don't care what the OTE is until I've evaluated all of the above. What am I missing? What else do you ask before accepting an offer?

In 2001, I worked in a door-to-door sales role. Commission only💰 It was brutal. I think I made only a handful of sales in the entire four weeks I lasted in the role 🤪🤣 Door to door sales might NOT have been my jam, but what that experience DID teach me was the value of determination, courage and embracing discomfort if you want to grow. I knew a sales role would be valuable experience for my future, as uncomfortable and challenging the role was. Here’s the thing, you can dream and ’wish’ for a high level role but if you’re doing the same things, submitting the same resume (albeit with a few updated achievements), executing the same projects and having the same conversations about your development, and see no change, this is your warning sign ⚠️ A sign that your approach needs to change…. You need to embrace discomfort. Those who are willing to show up for themselves, take charge of their their future and make brave steps forward knowing that they are going to be uncomfortable, are the ones that achieve illogical, insane results. They don’t overthink but move and take action. They trust their wealth of experience and skills ARE valuable and transferable to many roles in business…. WITHOUT any drop in salary. The moment you embrace discomfort, and make courageous moves, will be the moment your career skyrockets 🚀
