Recruiting a sales team can be a bit of a headache if you haven’t done it before. A lot of sales people are quite good at interviews so it’s not always easy to cut the wheat from the chaff! You don’t necessarily have to pay thousands of pounds to a recruitment company in order to find the right person but you do need to have a clear idea about who you are trying to target. Putting the job advert together is as much about you creating the right impression of your company as it is about getting the job details correct. The whole recruitment process is a chance for you to attract a high calibre sales person that can make a difference to your company.
