Everyone looking for a dream sales job wants a “secret weapon”—the edge that will make potential employers eager to hire him or her, and willing to bestow high salaries, benefits, and bonuses! In many cases, that weapon is the 30/60/90-day sales plan. What is it? It’s a written plan that explains to the hiring manager how you’ll spend your time in the first 3 months you work for the company, in detailed steps that demonstrate exactly how you’ll be an asset to the company. It’s an almost-guaranteed way to impress any hiring manager or hiring team.

Of course, knowing that you need one and actually putting one together are two different things. A little internet research can get you access to free templates, which can make you think you’re good to go.

However, you need to remember: You get what you pay for.

The 30/60/90-day sales plans available for free online aren’t really templates; they’re only samples--which means that you take what you can get from them and create your own plan that you hope is good enough to attract the attention of a hiring manager. What’s the difference between that and a true template? Quality. Why does it matter? Well, how important is your career?

What do you really need? • You need an actual template—one that you can plug your own information into with minimal time and effort that still results in a quality product you’ll be proud and confident to show to any hiring manager. • You need a mentor. Someone with an insider perspective and 15 years of experience in sales, sales management, and sales recruiting who can coach you—tell you how to put together a winning sales plan and how to present it in your interview.

Where can you get it?

The Sales Recruiter has put together everything you’ll need to get the sales job you want: a true sales plan template plus over 30 minutes of audio coaching that will boost your confidence and give you the edge you need. For more information, go to http://30-60-90-day-sales-plan.com/.

Newspapers (or Craigslist) If you know that I’m not very fond of job boards as a job search resource, then you must be really surprised that I would talk about newspapers or even Craigslist in a series about the fastest way to find a job. I’m sure you assume that I think newspapers belong to the Dark Ages and Craigslist is just the online version of classified ads. Which it is…but bear with me.

Industry Organizations Industry organizations are some of the best job search resources anywhere. These can be fantastic because they are a direct connection for you to people in your field—including potential hiring managers, but that’s not your only benefit here. You can expand your network, you can learn a lot about your field, and you can often find out about jobs that aren’t necessarily listed on national job boards. For instance, I was a part of several organizations when I was in clinical diagnostics sales: The American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC)r

What will you contribute to this job? This job interview question is very similar to “Why should we hire you?” Or, “Why do we want you over the other candidates?” The job interview is a sales process in which you are the product and the hiring manager and company is the buyer. Your salary is the price of the product, you and your skill sets. It’s fair for them to ask, “What are we going to get for our money?”
