How to Pitch Your Company to a Sales Candidate

February 15, 2018 By Jeff Miller

Anybody that has worked with sales professionals at any point in their lives knows just how hard it is to land a truly great one. Too many of them don’t possess the thick skin required for such a position, and others are just flat-out unmotivated. Knowing this, companies need to put considerable effort into interviewing the best and brightest sales candidates, but because these people are so valuable, it often ends up being the company making the first sales pitch to the potential employee.

Thankfully, there are a few things that companies can do to improve their pitches to potential sales candidates for sales executive positions, each of which is designed to help you hire the type of employees that are going to be driven, professional, and irreplaceable.

Share Your Company’s Milestones and Goals

Sales candidates are going to look at your business in a couple of different ways. They will care about where you have been as a company, what sorts of successes and milestones you have hit as an organization, and where the company is going in the future. Your job is to make sure they understand what sorts of rich traditions have been established in your place of business to date, then give them a sense of how much growth you expect over the next five to ten years. In other words, make them want to be part of this family, not only because of where you have been, but also where you are going.

Make Sure There Is Opportunity for Development and Growth

The future is incredibly important, especially for younger sales candidates that do not always care what has gone into a business in the past. Make it clear that they will have significant professional development opportunities, as well as a good chance of moving up the corporate ladder if they perform well. Raises, promotions, and even just mentorships and further professional training all matter to young business professionals looking for great jobs.

Sell The Company’s Culture

People want to work in environments that are supportive and exciting and professional, so make sure you appropriately convey to top-shelf applicants just how fantastic it is to work at your place of business. Let them know how much people love working there, and insinuate that the same could be true for them should they choose to join the family.

Provide Desirable, Competitive Benefits

Money and benefits matter, too, perhaps more than anything else. To lure the best candidates, you will need to offer competitive compensation and benefits so that they can be excited about the money they’re making, even as they’re excited about the culture in which they are working.

Of course, Sales Recruiters of Virginia can help you find the best candidates possible for your open sales positions. Sometimes, a respected sales recruitment agency is the best way to get these eager potential employees to the interview table. What they do from there depends largely on how well you and your team sell the job to them.
