Download or read book Hire Right Higher Profits written by Lee B. Salz and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unless your product sells itself, your sales force determines your ultimate success. Lee Salz is spot on in his assessment of the importance of viewing salespeople as a major investment in your business." - Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive "The most insightful and most complete book on hiring the RIGHT salesperson I have ever seen (or read). If you need great salespeople, this book is not an option, it's an imperative!" - Jeffrey Gitomer, author of 21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling "The challenge in building a strong sales organization has always been in identifying and retaining the right talent. Hire Right, Higher Profits looks past the hype. It recognizes that success is about process, and involves more sweat than inspiration. This book offers a detailed and sound process that will deliver consistent results." – Howard Stevens, Chairman, Chally Group Worldwide ***** Hired and fired... It's the revolving door on sales teams. Executives hire what they believe to be great salespeople, but the results never come – and the salespeople are let go. This perpetual cycle eradicates profits, makes revenue targets pipe dreams, and has sales leaders pulling out their hair in frustration. Despite these issues, executives continue to try to "hire great salespeople." That three-word expression is exactly what Hire Right, Higher Profits is all about. Sales management strategist, Lee Salz begins the book by challenging readers with the $25,000 Revenue Test which most executives fail. Then, he hits readers between the eyes with the statement "there are no great salespeople" and offers proof of it! He also cautions those executives – who view the competition as their primary sales talent source – of its risks. But Salz doesn't stop there! He challenges executives to shift their perspective from hiring salespeople to investing in revenue. Each salesperson represents a revenue investment made by the company with the core objective of receiving a fast, high return on it – no different than when companies invest in sales strategies, tactics, and ideas to grow revenue. Hire Right, Higher Profits teaches executives how to determine what type of revenue investment is needed, evaluate revenue investment candidates and get a fast, high return on the investment made in their new salespeople. The book is a step-by-step, practical guide teaching you how to implement the revenue investment concept – impacting both the top and bottom lines. It's a fun, educational read and is chock-full of stories as you learn how to: * Shift your executive team's perspective from hiring salespeople to investing in revenue * Identify the factors that affect revenue investment performance – the causes of a salesperson's success or failure in the role * Assemble a Revenue Investment Evaluation Program to contrast candidates with the performance factors * Scrutinize a Revenue Investment Prospectus – a salesperson's resume – to get to the truth * Evaluate candidates so you select the right salespeople for revenue investments * Protect the revenue investment through structured sales onboarding * Design sales onboarding curriculum to get a fast, high return on the new revenue investments * Assess revenue investment performance both during and post-onboarding The methodology presented in Hire Right, Higher Profits can be implemented in any company, in any industry, of any size. The book is not based on scientific studies, but rather on real-world, field-tested sales management practices that Lee Salz has developed and used for over twenty years with both his sales teams and for clients. Whether you are a seasoned executive or new sales manager, this book has everything you need to build a world-class sales force.
Download or read book Sales Manager Perceptions of Employer Branding Strategies for Entry level Salesperson Recruitment in Select Business to Business Companies written by Michele Welliver and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In todays competitive business environment, salespeople are in high demand. This demand for salespeople creates a buyers market, and as such provides the future sales professional with numerous employment opportunities. With more sales positions to fill than potential candidates, sales managers need to enhance their recruitment efforts to increase their chances of attracting top sales talent. To differentiate from the competition and become a company where salespeople are attracted to and ultimately consider as a place to work, sales organizations must establish and convey an employer brand. Defined as the package of functional, economic, and psychological benefits provided by employment, and identified with the employing company (Ambler & Barrow, 1996, p. 187), the employer brand is simply the companys reputation as an employer. The purpose of this study was to explore sales manager perceptions of employer branding strategies B2B companies use for the external recruitment of entry-level salespeople. To explore these issues, a grounded theory qualitative data analysis approach was chosen. Ten sales managers from B2B companies who engaged in the external recruitment of entry-level salespeople for their organization were interviewed for this research study. The interviews were subsequently transcribed and coded, using a three-phased coding process that resulted in the construction of themes. Secondary data was also analyzed and coded for this grounded theory study. A theoretical grounded theory framework was developed for a better understanding of employer brandings role in recruitment. The study results revealed that building a solid employer reputation by creating value for current and potential employees attracts job applicants to fill sales positions, and retains ideal employees as well. The findings suggest that leveraging employer branding for recruitment is far better for attracting a large pool of candidates than relying on the corporate brand. However, neither employer branding nor leveraging the corporate brand appears to be producing the best quality salesperson applicants. The findings did suggest that employers could improve recruitment efforts to attract better quality candidates by engaging in, or increasing campus recruiting. The findings indicate that if companies increase their efforts to build a strong employer brand and target college campuses with their employer branding messages, they will attract a sufficient number of quality salesperson candidates, building a foundation for successful entry-level salesperson recruitment.
