Sales is considered to be one of the most recession proof careers. Why should you consider a sales career, how to know if you would be good at it, how to write a resume and a gender neutral cover letter, what to include in your LinkedIn profile, how to do interview prep, what to wear, how to access the hidden job market, how to evaluate a job offer, how to resign from your current job …. it's all in this book! More Details: A study published by Jobfox, identified Sales Representative/Business Development as the most recession-proof profession. Profit Magazine reported; “Finding the right sales talent was one of the biggest concerns facing sales organizations today.” Similar studies conducted annually by Manpower Inc. report that the position of “sales representative” is consistently considered by management as one of the most difficult jobs to fill. According to the research in the book “How to Hire & Develop Your Next Top Performer – The Five Qualities That Make Sales People Great”, 1 in 4 people have an aptitude and are well suited for a career in sales. So, if there are that many sales organizations always looking to hire sales people, and so many people have the ability to sell, why are so many sales people having difficulties finding their dream sales position? It’s probably because few of us are ever taught how to actually find it. This eBook is going to fix that. “How to Find Your Dream Sales Job – The future is yours to create!” will ask and answer four basic questions: 1. Why should you consider a career in sales? 2. How to know if you would be good at it? 3. What does your dream job look like? 4. How do you go out into the job marketplace and find it? Why should you consider a sales career, how to know if you would be good at it, how to write a resume and a gender neutral cover letter, what to include in your LinkedIn profile, how to do interview prep, what to wear, how to access the hidden job market, how to evaluate a job offer, how to resign from your current job …. IT’S ALL IN THIS BOOK! Written by Susan A. Enns, a sales coach and author who has been in sales, in one form or another, for well over 3 decades. Over those 30 plus years, in all capacities at all levels of sales, sales management, and executive level management, she has interviewed hundreds, maybe even thousands of candidates for various sales and sales management positions. With that experience under her belt and a record of proven performance to her credit, she wrote this book. She started to write it the day she met a very enterprising young man who wanted to start a career in sales. He told her he found a company online and they were going to charge him more than $3000 to teach him how to find a sales job. She thought at the time that was highway robbery, let alone questioning if it was even legal. She finished writing it shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 changed the world, and so many talented sales people were forced to change jobs and were hitting the job market on a moment’s notice. As Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. Susan has had such a rewarding career in sales, she wants to help you explore the same opportunity. So let's get started!
