Today in Context
Hiring Guides: “The Hiring Sales Representatives Guide, for example, is applicable to many different types of outsourced sales projects.”
Hiring Sales Representatives: “Sales representatives have several duties beyond selling products. They analyze sales statistics, prepare reports, and handle data.”
Interview with a Marketing Analyst: ” I could be out of the sales floor conducting focus groups about the products we’re asking the sales team to offer.”
Expert Outsourcing Help: “The service provider usually specializes in a specific skill, and like artists, musicians, and even programmers, they’re horrible salespersons — meaning they can’t adequately convince you that they’re the right candidates for a job”
Earning the Right to Sell: “How often do people try to sell you something before you’ve even expressed an interest for what they have? Many salespeople try to sell to anyone and everyone regardless of the interest level.”
Interviewing Strategies That Work: “Sales representatives can sell something; software engineers can code something; machine operators can operate a machine.”
Outsourcing Terms: “agent statutory worker – a beverage and food delivery driver, laundry pickup and delivery driver, life insurance sales agent, work-at-home employee, or merchandise or supply salesperson”
When You’ve Dropped the Ball: ” Saying something like “My sales manager is always making mistakes like this!” is not going to make your customer feel any better.”
How to Say No: “And that creates feelings of resentment toward you and your company. Remember that those pesky salespeople can also be your customers or able to influence customers.”
Increase Traffic With 7 Forgotten Marketing Channels: “When a user downloads a freeware program – presumably yours – that user places himself or herself in a unique sales position for you in two very important ways.”
Computer Help: “Computer salespersons are hired for a reason – and that’s their knowledge. Often, these kind folks can help you resolve an issue over the phone.”
