Sales Management Recruitment

True leadership consists not of going out and buying the best players, but turning the team you have into real salesmen and saleswomen.

When younger, every salesperson dreams of being a sales manager.

When there, many don't like it and find they complain just as much as they did when they were a subordinate.

However, for the few who do succeed, they not only change their lives, but also the fate of a company and every person within it.

Sales Managers Need to Sell

There is a big misconception that many managers (or aspiring mangers) have: that management is simply about giving orders. What many don't realize is that those orders never get completed properly without the respect of the sales team.

Part of the way the sales manager earns the respect of the sales reps is to be in the trenches selling with them. Otherwise, our clients are simply paying an adult babysitter.

Traits We Look for in Sales Managers

1) Management is About Teaching and Leading

The sales management applicants whom our recruiting firm looks for are professionals mature enough to not only be responsible for their job, but be responsible for others' careers. This means more than simply getting a book on management and dog-earing a few chapters.

2) Management is About Execution

The most effective sales managers are highly results-driven and are "Type A" personalities who not only love persuading other people, but are good and still honest while doing so.

3) Sales Managers Can Recruit. Recruiting is a very complex, key part of business. Our recruiters go out and find your firm someone who can not only turn current employees into leaders, but someone who can recruit leaders as well.

4) Employment Stability

The headhunters at KAS firmly understand that a big part of our job is to not only staff the individual, but to do it well enough that a turnover is highly unlikely to occur.

5) Industry Knowledge

It is very hard to manage even one other individual if you don't know enough about the industry yourself. All applicants whom our sales management recruitment team presents to our clients are pertinent candidates who excel at what they do in the desired industry(s) of our staffing clientele.

6) Sales Managers Must Be Sales Reps

For a sales manager to gain the respect of his or her subordinates, they must be able to not only practice what they preach, but execute it as well.

Sales representatives, when in a bind, must have a strong sales manager who also serves as a mentor to be able to assist them in the sale, thus closing the deal while still instilling personal confidence in that representative.
