Sales recruitment success is 'all in the detail'
People hoping to attain sales recruitment success in the coming months should make sure that they pay attention to the minute details.
Sporting goods sales executive Daniel Obergfell told the Wall Street Journal that while seeking a marketing manager recently he rejected one contender for mispronouncing his surname four times, after correcting her thrice.
"Your nerves cause you to do things you would not normally do when you must vie against many people for a job. Given she never really got it right - even after being corrected, told me it was probably started with nervousness, but the issue more than likely ran deeper than that," he added.
Gerard Roche, senior chairman of recruiters Heidrink & Struggles International, told the source that sales recruitment hopefuls should prepare for interviews more, putting across an emphatic sense of how skills match the job needs.
Sales recruitment hopefuls going for interviews should also make sure that their attire is spot on, ensuring that they are dressed smartly, in line with the environment that they will be working in.
