  • Strong-willed

 

Are You Persuasive, Enthusiastic and Convincing?”

 

“If You’re Strong-willed and Determined, We Want to Hear from You.”

 

 

When in doubt, show them the money.

 

If writing enticing headlines feels like a daunting task, stick to the simplest detail that every excellent salesperson combing job listings is looking for. Just mention the money. Nobody works harder for great income than the money-hungry top sales performers you want to hire.

 

If You Want Less Than a $140,000 a Year, We’re Not the Right Company for You” (Explain in your ad content that your top sales performer cleared $140,000 recently and you’re not interested in hiring salespeople who wouldn’t strive for that and more.)

 

“Our Sales Team Earned Over One Million Dollars in Total Income Last Year. How Much Of That Million Should Be Yours?”

 

Always be honest in headline and job listing copy. You want to attract top sales performers with the truth in order to hire and keep them for many sales-increasing years to come.
