In most cases, we spent a great deal of time and money recruiting them. Those few who called me directly almost always got an interview, even if we had to send them a plane ticket. The reason is simple: Sales managers want salespeople who are smart enough to apply their prospecting and selling skills to finding a job.Much new businesses start out needing to save costs and so they skimp on some of the perceived extras. They will often try to get away without spending for things like letterhead, stationary, and business cards. However these are very important and if you are serious about your business then it is important to go to the extra effort of putting these together. Start up costs can be prohibitive for a new company though and this article will show some ways that you can save money on your busi Understand that regardless of economic conditions, every large company, and many medium sized ones, have a multitude of job openings. Getting those jobs filled by suitable candidates is a long and tedious process, complicated by miles of organizational red tape.

Do a search on the Internet or at the library, and make a list of all of the companies that look attractive to you. You're looking for companies likely to employ people with your skill set. Make your list as big as possible - at least two hundred potential employers. 2. Design a "High Probability Prospecting offer." Include the following information: a. Your name; b. A short comprehensive description of your capabilities; c. Two outstanding functions that you can accomplish; d. A request for an appointment. The prospecting offer must contain no more that 45 words. Example: a. This is Jane Salesperson. b. I'm an experienced, conscientious salesperson. c. I can find and make appointments with prospects that want your types of products and services and close most of them. d. Is that the kind of salesperson you want for your department? 3. Get the contact information of the 'decision makers'. Call all of the companies on your list and get the names of the department managers that you want to call. While most receptionists won't give out that kind of information, you can usually get connected to someone in the sales department who will look it up for you. It works to tell them "I need your help." 4. Call all of the managers on your list and present your prospecting offer (number 2 above).
