"SALES IS NOT A GAME, A ROLE OR A MANIPULATIVE TECHNIQUE, BUT THE SINCERE DESIRE OF THE PROFESSIONAL SALES REPRESENTATIVE TO HELP CLIENTS SOLVE CONCERNS"

Bruce S. Dreyfus        The S.A.L.E.S.® Manual 1982

 

"Insanity is repeating the same things over and over again and expecting different results".   Anonymous

 

When presenting your candidacy to a prospective employer remember why they are considering hiring you.

What do they expect? (When and how?)

 

Your VALUE must exceed their cost.  Keep this formula in mind in every "sales interview" call. The interview mode is the most basic of the sales calls.

 

V=N+A-C©

 

Value=Need(Real +Perceived)+Application(Use)-Cost (Emotional +Fiscal)

 

If your candidacy does not add up to a positive equation, REDUCING THE Hiring Authority's (HA'S) RISK, you will not get the offer that you want. The hiring authority's COST is too great to gamble on a hire. His/her position, income, and or emotional/physical well being are on the line with each hire; i.e.: inertia will prompt a negative decision.

 

In the interview & presentation mode, (Tri-Folds) fluff will not prevail. You must know your accomplishments, skill set, professional limitations, client's goals, objectives, market position, product, and competition.  Your interview must be a solution sales call.

 

See: Candidate Information Program & Backgrounder & ACP

 

If there are further questions also check the remainder of the candidate section.

 

You must know who, what, why, and how you can help the prospective hiring authority, if not, you do not get to the interview or to the ultimate offer.

 

Hiring although important, does not drive immediate $, and always puts the hiring manager at immediate “risk” with his/her superiors. The manager usually only gets compensated on today’s $, not pipeline, training, etc.  We all practice professional risk avoidance.

To be hired or considered for hire you must be able to solve three major concerns for the HA.
1. Help to relieve his/her stress.
2. Make it possible for the HA to make more money.
3. Provide the impetus for the HA to be promoted.

You need to find a way to match your candidacy/ACP to the HA's "hidden" needs, so that the question: "Why should I hire you? Becomes moot, and the answer is both apparent and obvious to the HA. You are an opportunity not a risk. For more in-depth discussion see our book, PMSP©.
