Sales Methodologies of Our Recruiters

Successful sales reps understand each buyer's style

Our sales employment agencies cannot stress this enough to the sales people whom our sales recruiters place. Just like any company has their own particular buying style, so do our staffing clients. Some buyers like to move fast and make a decision while other buyers like to think their purchase through and can take months to come to a final conclusion. An effective business development manager knows that both of these accounts need to be handled in different ways. Companies who seemingly want to make a quick decision on their vendor need to be put in the forefront of their things to do. When emails come in from the prospect, they are answered almost immediately. The same goes with voice messages. It is the belief of our sales employment agency that successful sales representatives will work at the same pace as a quick buyer, thus increasing their chances of landing the deal.

This is no different in the world of recruiting either. Our marketing and sales recruiters know that if a client wants to hire an account manager right away, our headhunters better hustle or we will lose the deal. If necessary, our staffing agents will take on some of the administrative work as well. We always have to keep up with the pace of a fast hire. However, our recruitment team also works with companies which like to take their time prior to purchasing a particular product. This is fine with our marketing and channel sales recruiters, however we just prepare for a long, sometimes drawn out hiring process. During this process, our sales employment agency is quite cognizant of the fact that we should allow the client to take his or her time to look at several employment applicants. Also, our executive sales recruiting agency understands that pushing the hiring manager to make an offer to one of our applicants will only turn the prospective hiring party off to our services.

Successful sales reps make sure that the buyer likes doing business with them

Sales professionals who are in tune to what the buyer's needs are and who work hard will typically get a good personal and receptive response from the buyer. Simply stated - buyers like vendors who work hard for them. They feel it is money well spent. For this reason, when our channel sales recruiters take on a new account, we understand that to win the approval of the hiring manager, our sales employment agency must work hard for them, must be polite to deal with and our marketing and sales recruiters need to understand their specific needs and decipher the proper ways to fill them.

In any sales situation, whether you are selling a product or service, the buyer does not have to like you personally or agree with your political view, nor do you have to be his best friend. However, our sales employment agencies will point out that you do need to work together and should be able to have friendly and interesting, albeit brief conversations. "Cordial" is the word our recruiters like to use. In the staffing business, when our sales recruiters make the hiring process easy and without pressure, our clients are more receptive and like working with us better.

If, as a sales professional, you are unsure whether a client is happy or has a dislike for how things are going, simply ask them. There is absolutely nothing to lose.

Success sales reps successfully manage all of their accounts

There is no worse feeling than having a sales representative be very attentive when selling you a product, then once the contract is complete, nearly vanish. If you are in the business world and have had vendors before, you understand where our sales employment agencies are going with this. Unfortunately, this happens to our channel sales recruiters all of the time. The most frustrating, and typically unsuccessful sales professionals will solely have a forward focus. While hunting for new business is very important, keeping current clients happy carries the same weight. This is not just for ethical reasons, doing this will keep clients coming back to you (regardless of what company you are with) and will allow for up and cross selling of the products or services which your firm offers. Poor sales managers - beware the internet If a sales professional lacks account management skills, then he or she (along with their company) can get crushed. Next time your firm purchases a product or service, prior to singing the contract, Google the name of the firm and see what information surfaces. If there are unhappy customers, you will immediately see their reviews. Having an account manager who doesn't care about your company is as frustrating as getting completely ripped off. Any sales employment agencies will attest to the fact that poor account managers never make it far up the sales latter.

Successful sales reps know there is no such thing as over researching a client

A lot of sales professionals fail to do enough research on a client prior to meeting or speaking with them. Our marketing and sales recruiters greatly frown on this and want to make it clear to account executives that if they fail to know as much as possible about the prospect's company, they are giving their competition way too much wiggle room to maneuver into the account. From the opinion of most sales employment agencies effective sales representatives understand that client research is not just skimming a website; it entails a lot more.

The most concise executive sales recruiting professionals, before a meeting, figure out who their prospect's competition is, what the latest industry news and trends are, who the major players in the industry are, why the prospect may want their product or service and how would their product or service help someone in their industry achieve the desired results. Additionally, he or she will get as much information on the company's culture as possible. In the eyes of our executive sales recruiting agency, you don't want to be selling a sports car to a loyal Toyota owner. Additionally, a good sales professional must be aware that the drivers for a particular client's purchase at a company such as Google is a lot different than a Ford Motors office in Detroit. An effective sales person, prior to meeting with the client, will do his or her best to obtain an idea of what products they should offer to a client. Our highest paid sales professionals whom our channel sales recruiters staff know this like the back of their hand.

In the opinion of our sales employment agency, effective business development representatives will refer to sites which also clearly state the firm's revenue, employee number count and other vital information. For example, if an account executive finds out that their prospect is a $200,000,000 firm, there is no reason to immediately (or at all) pitch the cheapest solution which your organization offers and market the product or service as a money saver. To give a staffing example, prior to the sales headhunters at our staffing organization meeting or speaking with a new client, our channel sales recruiters do all the aforementioned practices. This allows our headhunting agency to sound more intelligent about the company which we are speaking with. If we decide to take on the client, which we will touch on later, the hiring party almost always signs on.

Successful sales reps know the difference between "needs" and "wants"

Our channel sales recruiters are always on the lookout to staff business development professionals who can differentiate what the needs of a client are and what the wants of a client are. Internally, our younger executive sales recruiting professionals are taught the difference between the two as we feel that the understanding of this concept is quite necessary. A need is just as it sounds. A need, is when a client, for business purposes, must have a particular product or service. Clearly stated, they have a gap to fill. For example, let's assume that the client's company is redoing their website and they need, a programmer to do so. That is their need - a programmer to do their website (one could also say the website is the need which would also be correct). However, what is their want? In most instances, wants are the bells and whistles of a product.

To continue with the aforementioned scenario, a client may want you to have your best programmers work on the website and have their website make it appear as if they were a billion dollar company. The only problem with wants, is that they can get expensive. After the sales professional sells the need, then they can beginning selling the wants. Only in very specific circumstances, will a business to business sale only encompass wants. To reiterate the point of our sales employment agencies, everyone needs a car, not everyone needs a SUV. Thus, the SUV is a want. Get the difference? Armed with this knowledge, our channel sales recruiters believe that a solid business development professional can make sure he or she fulfills the needs, of the client and makes a few different offerings of various prices in order to ensure he or she meets the wants, of the client. When selling a product, our executive marketing and sales recruiters have come to be accustomed to the fact (via firsthand) that efficient salespeople attack the need, first, then generate extra selling revenue via the want. In the opinion of our sales employment agencies, knowing this concept sets a base for successful business to business selling.

Successful sales reps know how to market the product which they are selling

Not every sales professional has the luxury of an entire marketing department behind them. This is especially true when our executive sales recruiting agency works with mid size or smaller sized firms. Because of this reason, an account representative, using their own wits, must figure out how their product compares to that of their competitor's, understand what facets of their product a company would and would not like, do their best to find out how their competition pitches their product or service then utilize that information to his or her advantage.

An example our sales employment agencies like to give: Let's say that you are selling an Internet service. As a business development professional, our New York sales recruiters recommend sitting down and writing on a piece of paper, the pros and cons of your product. First, compare this to the pros and cons of the product or service which your competitors are providing. Finally, take this knowledge and integrate it into the needs of the market (or your client). If you do this, your new found perspective on your sales offering will allow you to, when speaking with the client, focus on areas which you perceive to be of interest to the buyer. Also, our executive sales recruiting agencies firmly understand that, upon meeting with future prospects, you will now be better equipped than your competitors. When it comes to winning the marketing wars with another client, a good sales professional will utilize any and every tool accessible.

Google has commoditized nearly every product.

With the invention of the Internet search engines, came the commoditization of nearly every product or service. The most effective sales people understand this. Now, obviously, there are companies like Apple and Google who have a one of a kind product, but if you're like the rest of us, the product or service you're selling has become somewhat of a commodity. Our marketing and sales recruiters know that when a company calls us, our executive sales recruiting service, on the surface, is no different than many other firms. Therefore, how do our sales employment agencies and channel sales recruiters differentiate ourselves?

The best way, as a sales professional, to differentiate yourself is through good, tactical salesmanship. When our marketing and sales recruiters are speaking on the phone with a potential client, we listen well, we describe our services in a thorough manner, we tell them our approach to recruitment which is obviously going to be different than any other firm. It comes from us and what the KAS Placement executive sales recruiting agencies believe to be true. Our marketing and sales recruiters also inform the client that we begin work on their account immediately. Hence, we differentiate ourselves again by showing the client that they really matter and properly servicing them is a priority. This is what our sales employment agencies believe separates us from our competition. In the end, it has nothing to do with the core service we provide. The differentiation comes with our sales recruiters. Effective sales representatives will know that they, themselves are the differentiation between commodities.

A successful sales professional is honest with all clients

In the opinion of our Los Angeles, Chicago and New York executive sales recruiting agencies, the worst thing a business development professional can do is be dishonest about the capabilities or price of his or her product or service. Our sales employment agencies have seen this time and time again. If, as a business development professional, you, on occasion, are dodging some product points, you are being just as dishonest as somebody who is flat out telling a lie regarding the product in which they are selling. This is the number one, all time winner on how to obtain a bad reputation within your industry.

When efficient sales professionals get above a certain point in their sales career and now find themselves selling a high end product or service, a simple cold call is the last thing that is going to get you in the door. Instead, as a senior sales professional, you will have to utilize industry contacts and networking to get to the high ranking employees within a company who have the authority to sign off on the product which you are offering. As our sales recruiters have seen, this is not possible unless you have a form and maintain a solid reputation. Nobody is going to recommend a sales person whom they felt took advantage of them. This is not to mention that people who have had a terrible experience with both yourself and your company will hit you where it hurts - a complaint on the internet for everybody to see. Our executive sales recruiting agency has had both types of vendors - the ones that keep their promise and the ones that we no longer use.

Sales takes a lot of intelligence, however it is a different form

When the KAS Placement executive sales recruiting agencies speak to staffing prospects, the first thing we look for is intelligence. Our marketing and sales recruiters are not looking for someone who can explain quantum mechanics, but we are looking for someone who uses proper grammar, can speak in an intelligent manner, who can express their thoughts both clearly and concisely, and who has taken the time to really learn the product they are accustomed to selling. Our channel sales recruiters have no doubt that if an engineering recruitment firm (made up of engineers who are now in human resources in lieu of plain recruiters) and our sales employment agencies took their five smartest candidates and put them against each other in an IQ test, that our guys would lose.

However, intelligent sales people are like hunters. Instead of using a book to solve a problem, the best business development professionals use their instincts. Using instincts to work your way around a particular situation or problem takes a lot of intelligence and careful thought. Unfortunately, many of the sales professionals whom our executive sales recruiting agencies interview do not possess the aforementioned instincts. Only the cream of the crop account representatives can use their sales intelligence to work their way through puzzles which, typically are people oriented.

However, our executive sales recruiting agency cannot stress enough that professional salesmen and saleswomen use proper grammar. This is one of the only textbook theories that great business development employees and entrepreneurs must know. Account representatives need to be able to speak to some of the most intelligent people at their target companies, and using bad grammar will almost immediately push you aside from getting the account. If sales professionals can express thoughts in a smart and persuasive manner, our sales recruiters know that street smarts and emotional intelligence are the only missing links to being an extremely successful new business acquisition specialist. The channel sales recruiters at KAS Placement know that if a sales representative has all these traits, he or she is probably very well off, and if they are looking for a job, we do our best to ensure that our staffing agency finds them.

Successful sales managers hire people who are smarter than they

The sales headhunters at KAS Placement hate to see when a sales manager passes up people because they are over qualified. Sales recruiters at our staffing agency only hire people who are smarter than them; at our recruiting firm, this is a rule. I never got into NYU because my SAT scores and high school grades were not high enough. However, the employees at my sales staffing agencies were. Personally, I love to recruit in house trainable channel sales recruiters from the top schools. Although some would disagree, my belief is that these individuals had to do something right to get to where they are now.

Unfortunately, sometimes a sales manager gets too intimidated by good sales professionals. Funny enough, when we used to work with these individuals (we shy away from it now), the job openings were always replacements, not new positions created from within. Our sales employment agencies’ strong disagreement with these individual's policies make it nearly impossible to work with them.

The main reason why there is no money to be made off of these "managers" is that our executive sales recruiting agency does not know how to dumb down our search. We are all trained to find the best people out there. I will be the first to admit, we are simply bad at finding employment seekers who are just "a little better than mediocre." Usually, when a sales manager who is intimidated by the potential employees our sales recruiters send in, our marketing and sales recruiters' agreement does not work out. Our job, as an executive sales recruiting agency, is to find the best people for the best money, period. Unless a sales manager points out why they think the person is over qualified, we usually have to give the account to another recruiting firm.

Successful sales managers listen to their employees

In business as in life, listening is very important. As a matter of fact, our sales employment agencies would venture to guess that listening is the best form of communication. If all we did was speak, we would never learn anything. The sales staffing agencies at KAS Placement consistently ask job seekers industry related questions. Why not? It only makes our sales employment agency more effective. The same goes for sales managers. The best sales managers understand that from being in the field, the sales representatives under him or her will know the market a lot better. This is not to mention such facets as what the competition is doing and how the market is evolving. The problem with companies that don't listen to their front line sales professionals is that they begin to miss out on opportunities which the industry competitors are taking advantage of. Our sales employment agencies have seen firms do extremely well simply by listening to their business development team.

When hiring, successful sales managers think outside of the box

The best managers our executive sales recruiters have seen are the ones who, upon hiring new employees, think outside of the box. Let's say that you are a software sales manager and are currently putting together a sales team: our sales employment agencies strongly suggest that you hire job seekers with a multitude of backgrounds. If you were to simply hire only sales professionals with the exact software background, your sales team, from what our sales recruiting agencies have seen, would be quite vanilla. There are some backgrounds which are conducive to sales such as acting, teaching and sports coaching. Our sales staffing agency strongly suggests that, when hiring, lay down a plan of the different skills you would want and hire accordingly.

Successful sales representatives are friendly and pleasant to deal with

Have you ever attempted to buy a product or service and the sales representative, for some reason, did not jive with you? Well, did you buy that product or service? The guess of our sales employment agency is that you probably declined to purchase the item. One of the worst traits our marketing and sales recruiters see in sales representatives is over arrogance. Upon interviewing these individuals, the headhunters at our firm are entirely turned off and don't feel comfortable presenting the job applicant to our client. On a phone screening, our higher level channel sales recruiters can tell within a minute if this is the case. Occasionally, we can tell by the answering machine. Here's a hint, it's all in the tone of voice.

However, our sales employment agency has long figured out those sales representatives, who are over arrogant and seem brash, are not arrogant at all. Instead, these business development people tend to be very insecure, and through their words and actions, if you take a close look, this insecurity comes to the forefront. This type of "I don't care" attitude comes from a fear of rejection. No matter the cause of this attitude, nobody wants to either buy from people who are over arrogant or insecure. Therefore, these sales people are killing themselves on both ends. Sales professionals have to open up and embrace rejection. Rejection is a great learning tool, even for channel sales recruiters.

Instead, our Los Angeles, Chicago and New York channel sales recruiters look for a business development professional who is both sure of himself and, simultaneously, in tune with the needs of others. If a salesperson treats you like you are his or her only customer, it makes you feel good about buying the product. The same thing goes with our headhunters. If we interview a salesperson who makes us feel good when speaking to them, we know we found a gem.

Every now and then, you will also see a good sales professional pay the buyer a compliment. Obviously, this is a sincere compliment and, typically warms the buyer up to the sales representative, his company and product. When people ask effective account executives a question, no matter how basic it may seem, the individual gives a straight forward answer which makes the purchaser feel comfortable. Here is the best part of it - if you truly don't care about the people whom you are selling to, in every circumstance, it will show. Therefore, when our sales employment agencies speak with individuals, our executive recruiting professionals can almost instantly decipher what kind of person they are and whether they would be an asset to our client. The psychology of sales is truly fascinating and courses could be taught on it.

Successful sales professionals know when to be aggressive and consultative

Most effective sales professions, in the experience of our media headhunters, have a more consultative selling style where they try to dig and find out what the client's needs are through intelligent questions and listening. When a business development professional asks questions, it allows them to play off the buyer's answers. For instance, if an account representative asks a client what they need out of a software solution, the answer that they will receive instantaneously allows them to use a consultative manner by informing the client how their software will fit that need.

This is the basis of consultative selling. Sales people should act more like consultants and not salesmen. The first thing our New York sales recruiters look for in a job applicant is this kind of style. However, an efficient new business acquisition specialist will know when to stop playing with the prey and go in for the kill. There are only so many questions and so many answers that can possibly be thrown around. Sooner or later, in the view of our sales employment agency, somebody has to close the deal. In summation, when thinking about percentages, our sales headhunters look for a business development job applicant who is 90% consultative and 10% aggressive.

Senior level sales professionals know how to deal with rejection

Let's face it. The hardest part of sales, the aspect that our sales employment agencies see that people hate is rejection. When you ask young professionals who are just getting out of college whether they want to be in sales, the one answer you are bound to get is, "Sure, and get rejected all day?" To get to a level of sales where a professional makes a very secure income and living, our sales recruiters can guarantee that the person, for every dollar they have made, have paid for it in rejections. As the owner of a sales recruiting firm, I understand that not every client who calls is going to utilize our services. This is just part of sales. Effective business development professionals as well as executive sales recruiting agencies know this as well. When interviewing and searching for jobs, being a sales person and hearing "no" doesn't hurt as much. Therefore, not only does learning to accept rejection in sales for an account executive crucial, it also helps with basic life dealings as well.

Successful sales professionals know how to quantify leads

Our sales employment agency and channel sales recruiters actively staff sales employment seekers whom we believe can sniff out a good from a bad lead. Upon getting an incoming call, the KAS Placement marketing and sales recruiters will ask the right questions in order to decipher whether this lead is worth chasing down or is not worth the time and effort. When a non seasoned account manager receives a new business call, he or she gets very excited and does not take the time to think whether or not this is a good, potentially revenue generating lead. How can good sales people tell whether a particular account is worth chasing? There are a few ways, and they are quite similar to the methods in which our sales employment agencies use upon receiving a phone call from a new client.

First, an effective sales person will know with whom he is speaking and whether or not this person is the decision maker. For instance, if somebody had their assistant call your company with a single question regarding the cost of your product, you have a bad lead. Stated again, this is a bad lead - about as poor as you can get. Many times, our executive sales recruiting agencies will receive a very similar call, and following the conversation, we go about our work as nothing has happened. If there is one hard rule in sales, it is to be able to speak with the decision maker a.k.a the person with a pen. If the decision maker does not want to take the time to speak with the sales rep, then they are not too interested in moving forward with either yours or your competitor's product. To put it simply, they are not an active lead.

Though, you should always treat the assistant with respect, as when the company is ready to buy in the future, they will surely come to you. When it comes to executive sales recruiting, our sales employment agency has seen job applicants be taken out of the mix because, some way or another, they turned the assistant off.

Successful sales representatives understand profit and loss

When our channel sales recruiters work with higher end sales professionals - senior to executive level - our employment agencies want to see if the individual understands P & L. Can they read a basic income statement and decipher how to better a company via its sales force? These are all questions our staffing agents like to see a business development professional answer. Understanding profit and loss, additionally, will help a sales person to properly quantify a lead. They know how much revenue is derived from a particular sale, and more importantly the cost of doing business with that particular customer.

One of the best things about working with firms which provide your company with profit is sustainability. Our executive sales recruiting agencies have seen many small clients come and go, and due to their size, when our staffing agency first opened, we would give them a discount. To do so today, is highly unprofitable to our channel sales recruiters both in opportunistic and hard cost. By hard cost, I am referring to all the tools our sales employment agency pays for in order to enable us to find our clients the best candidates. For instance, the use of the major job boards alone is well over $20,000 yearly. Being in sales, we know that a $4,000 placement fee is not worth the time nor is it worth the effort of our marketing and sales recruiters taking the time out to do an employment search. This is the same way our sales employment agencies would expect a highly effective account executive to approach the problem.

Successful sales managers challenge their employees

Often, our channel sales recruiters receive a call from an employer who tells our staffing agents that they need to replace a current or recently fired sales manager. Again, this comes down to profit and loss. If a sales manager does not challenge their subordinates to become the best business development professionals they can, that manager is not doing his job. Aside from selling themselves, our sales headhunters know that the main goal of a sales manager should be to motivate their sales team and do whatever possible to achieve the best results they can from these individuals. Some examples which our executive sales recruiting agencies have seen are the setting of monthly revenue goals. Good sales managers create realistic, but challenging sales goals for their team. Our staffing agents suggest that you begin small, then as the manager, really push the throttle in the coming months. The progress of the month’s goal obtainment should always be visible to each business development professional.

If a sales manager has younger employees on his or her team, our sales employment agencies suggest that they push these individuals extremely hard. Our executive sales recruiting agency only hires recent college graduates, and we push them to be the best they can be. You'd be surprised at how talented young employees can get in a very quick manner. Obviously, a good sales manager does not over do the guided ambition to point where it is torturous to the employee, but they push just enough as to where the young account executives become years ahead of your competitor's young sales group.

Channel Sales Representative for a Microsoft Exchange Services Reseller - New York, NY

Throughout the years, our client has had our Dallas sales headhunters make several placements. Their requisite is a salesperson who is familiar with CAD software, construction sales and who has contacts within main and sub facets of the engineering vertical.

Recruitment Consulting for Large Commercial Real-estate Company - New York, NY
After placing several sales and marketing representatives for a large New York City based Commercial Real-estate firm, our client hired five new in-house recruiters from various headhunting firms around the greater New York / New Jersey area. KAS Placement's New York sales recruiters were called in for two weeks to teach the new recruiters candidate search methods, internet research for headhunting purposes, proper interview techniques and the facets of selling the benefits of their firm as compared to their competitors. Since this placement in New York, our Minneapolis sales headhunters have been consistently contacted upon additional job openings.

Sr. Account Manager Cloud Computing Corporation - San Diego, CA
The client of our Minneapolis sales headhunters was a small cloud computing company based out of Southern California.
