“Nothing happens until someone sells something.” --Unknown
Finding sales producers can be a daunting task. The best candidates usually aren’t looking for a new position—they are too busy increasing sales, growing profitability, and improving efficiency for their current employer.
These desirable “passive” candidates are often open to new opportunities . . . if they can be found. They are employed; so you will not find them in online databases or on job boards. Top-tier talent does not answer ads or apply to web site postings.
Sales Search Associates Inc. understands sales and marketing professionals, what motivates them, the traits common to the successful ones, and where to find them.
We know that effective selling and marketing techniques have changed over the years. Contemporary sales teams don’t spend time selling ice to Eskimos. Effective sales people are customer focused. They listen to customers, sell solutions, and build long-term, profitable relationships.
At Sales Search Associates Inc., we offer customer-focused solutions that are in tune with the modern sales profession.
We begin by studying your company, products, and markets. We develop a unique candidate profile based on your specific needs and goals so that we target the most appropriate candidates. Then we research your direct and indirect competitors and others who service your markets to identify the best prospects.
But that is just the beginning. As the hiring process unfolds, we manage timely communication between the hiring manager and the candidates to cultivate the most promising prospects and ensure that the best decisions are made.
We view each search as an opportunity to partner with you and help your business grow. Finding candidates who increase your firm’s sales and profitability assures that you will ask for our help again and again.
Sales Search Associates conducts local, regional, and national searches.
Finding a local candidate is usually preferable to relocation, and typically we can find excellent local candidates to fit your opening. But when circumstances require a broader scope, we are ready with regional and national contacts.
“I thought I had already contacted all local candidates before I decided to hire a recruiter. I was resigned to the expense of having to relocate someone and pay a recruiter. Dianna not only found me a terrific sales manager, but since he was local, I saved thousands in relocation expenses.” Mike Mylius, Vice President, Del Packaging
Sales Search Associates is a boutique search firm located in the Chicago suburbs but through our own efforts and our network of other independent recruiters, we have helped companies hire sales professionals throughout the United States.
Sales Search Associates offers both contingency options and retained search depending on level of position, urgency and degree of difficulty. We are flexible and work with your budget and timetable.
