Want to get the best candidate pool possible to build your Sales Development team? Of course you do… unfortunately, so does every other company out there, meaning you’ll have to compete for their time, attention and interest just as you would in a bake-off against competing products and services with a potential buyer. You could get lucky finding great talent through a basic job listing, recruiters, referrals and other methods, but it’s a safe bet to assume you’ll need a compelling job description to capture interest from the best potential talent out there. This leaves you with essentially two options: 1. Put out a basic, boring job description to save yourself some time and effort, and filter through whatever resumes come your way. 2. Treat this as your sales pitch to your future team, getting them excited about your company and their potential career trajectory. So, ask yourself who do you really want on your team… whoever you can get, or the best you can get. Assuming you want the best, read on for some tips and tricks to craft your job description like a shiny lure to catch the best fish (talent): On this edition of The Sales Development Mastermind Series, join us as we explore a data driven approach to hiring Sales Development Reps!   Next week, we’ll be hosting the first ever conference 100% focused and dedicated to Sales Development, at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco. September 21st.
When I originally thought up this conference, I had no idea what the response would be. Was I the only one who thought it was time to start treating Sales Development with the respect it deserves in 2017? Was I the only one who thought this topic was important enough to warrant an entire conference dedicated to it? Collectively, can we push this practice forward a few steps? Well my fears have been totally allayed as the response has exceeded even my wildest estimations. The hunger in the Sales Development world for fresh knowledge, leadership, networks, and research has been overwhelming, and even though the conference hasn’t happened yet, I already consider it a success. |
