🔥𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤🔥 This was the second time I had the pleasure of working with this particular candidate, and I enjoyed every second of it, you meet some fantastic people in this job and it also gives you the opportunity to learn from some of the best sales individuals out there - stand out for me was that he is simply a top bloke and extremely humble, regardless of the situation they treat people with respect, we need more of this in the business world right? not much to ask I suppose but lacking so much in the world we live in.

Ok, time for another sales leadership post, this really has more to do with looking for and finding a job. Recently I went through a job transition, thankfully I found an amazing role for an incredible company. But to get here I went through a ton of cr@p. Over a few months, I spoke to more recruiters, headhunters, hiring managers, etc. than I can count. Here is what I would recommend doing if you find yourself in this position. 1) Work your connections! NO ONE knows you better. 2) Write thank you notes immediately after speaking to the HM, recruiter, etc! 3) Follow up! If you wait for an email or phone call, it's not going to come! 4) Be humble but confident. You may be the best, but you are up against potentially hundreds or thousands of other candidates! 5) Be different. How can you stand out? Be creative in your approach! 6) Be patient. I rode the ups and downs of this process, and it's NOT EASY! Finally, a big shout out to those that helped me in this process! James Carrigan, Jr., Ryan Hanna, Michael Cortez, Bret Harrison, Steve DeSantis Jake Sparkes and many others. I'd also like to thank Michelle Emerson-Russell and Mike Fitz for trusting me with an amazing opportunity! #TeamMagenta

🖋 PRO TIP for Sales Leaders on the job market: ⭕ If you're open to individual contributor roles make sure your resume and experience reflects that! When your most recent role shows mostly team development and hands-off sales experience your resume may be viewed as "over-qualified". Make sure any new business development experience and quota responsibility is listed. ✅ #hiringinsights #salestips #salesjobs #resumetips #salesrecruiting #salesleadership #recruitinginsight #protip #recruitertips

"Lives Our Core Values" "Comfortable with Discomfort" We’ve all encountered lengthy job descriptions and extensive lists of qualifications and requirements. But recently, I came across one that truly took the cake! The job description spanned well over a page and, besides the usual expectations, included: Humble Competitive Willingness Experience with independently closed sales generating over $300k in revenue Good executive presence Extroverted Driven to influence It seemed like they used AI to compile a list of every positive trait imaginable. One might assume they were seeking a C-level executive with decades of experience running large companies. But that wasn’t the case at all. They were looking for a Director of Sales, offering a salary in the $150k range. Would you even consider applying for a job with such an exhaustive and seemingly unreasonable list of qualifications? #JobDescriptions #Hiring #SalesJobs #CareerAdvice #Recruitment

Getting into a sales role is incredibly competitive right now. The most I've seen since we started Knit. There are more candidates than job opportunities. So if you’re looking, make sure to help yourself. That means: 1️⃣ Being able to explain 'why' you want to get a sales job. A hiring manager is unlikely to give you a position because you couldn’t find anything else so you thought “I’ll try sales” 2️⃣ Apply for roles, speak to people in roles, and pick up the phone. The phone is king right now. If you don’t answer your phone and try to communicate only by email then sales isn’t for you. 3️⃣ Keep going. I can’t think of anyone that we’ve placed who only applied for one job and got it. That doesn’t happen on the job hunt, and it certainly won’t happen when you’re in a role trying to find customers. Brush off the rejection. Try again. You’ll find something. #sales #salescareers #salesjobhunt #saleshiring P.S. What tip would you give to help people find a sales job in this market?
