Trainee Sales Person - A Shortage ?

[DSLiverpool]

Interviewed many from the job centre but none are really interested in being sales people they just want a job - no use to me, next stop is a advert in the Echo at £350!!! has anyone any better ideas where to advertise?

Good call ! Ta

Linked in no use for a trainee internal sales person - everyone on that site is the next Branson lol, it's mainly headsets, phone systems and conference phones to business and long range cordless to hotels etc - no cold calling as we have more leads than we can cope with hence we need a new trainee person.

Do you have staff already? Thought about offering a referral fee for their mates to work at your place? £500 is a good figure, pay it after 6 months of the new employee being in the job.

I dont think there's a shortage, I think you might be looking in the wrong places.

We have never had a real sales person and I want a real one that we can train to handle new and ongoing business - ie an aware person and I am just not finding the raw material.

Young ? needs to be a trainee / trainee wages BUT we have LOADS of quality leads and existing customers and can pay a great commission on all sales I cant pay a £40k basic however!!

How about in the Jobs / Employment thread on here?

Not much chance of finding a local guy - I am getting desperate as having to call the customers myself and I hate that.

AB - no email ?

I passed it on so expect something through imminently.

Failing that, I spend a few hours a day in the car so I'll call your customers, sell them anything you want, for a price.

Do you know its not a hard sell - its just I hate being nice to people
