These valuable insights can then be used to create better targeted job descriptions, filter candidates more effectively, and, ultimately, make better hiring choices.

Mastering the Art of the Cold Call Leaders' advice

Mastering the Art of the Cold Call

Perhaps one of the most challenging elements of sales, cold calling is a notoriously difficult place to find success—that is, until you've found a practice that consistently and sustainably works for you. And mastering the art of the cold call can be a career-long process (if one even is able to master it at all). "In my honest opinion," Alice Wheaton, business development coach and profitability catalyst says, "only about 4 or 5% of salespeople are elite performers." This, Wheaton notes, is largely due to problems in both training and in growing up in a society that considers certain behaviours, such…

The Value of a Process and 3 Steps for Sales Training Leaders' advice

The Value of a Process and 3 Steps for Sales Training

Recently, we at Workwolf have noticed a huge uptick in the demand for sales professionals. In fact, just this week, a LinkedIn News article by Greg Lewis revealed that the sales industry was one of the most recurrent industries among the top ten most in-demand positions on LinkedIn. And as Steve Trang, a sales trainer extraordinaire, as well as real estate "disruptor" and podcast host, notes, sales can be a very profitable career path if one has the talent and work ethic to make it a long-term career.  But, as Trang recognizes, not everyone will thrive in such a career.…

A salesperson is shaking the hand of another person wearing a lab coat or long blazer with a button-up underneath it. They are both standing in a modern-looking office in front of a large window that looks onto a cityscape.

Take Your Sales Career beyond Just Selling Leaders' advice

Take Your Sales Career beyond Just Selling

With sales as competitive and a company's success as critical as ever before, we at Workwolf have been diving into ways you can improve your sales tactics. And one of the most common themes that comes up time and again is the need for going beyond just selling in the sales industry. Keith Snowden, for one, has been working in the med-tech industry for over 20 years and recognizes "This is not selling widgets" when it comes to live-saving technology. "What you're dealing with," he says, "is a very customer-concentric and patient-concentric business, which requires a high degree of technology…

The Top 4 Tricks for Sales Managers

When Lara, our internet marketing consultant, meets with Dan Hollis over Microsoft Teams, one thing becomes immediately clear—just as his website suggests—"Some people are just born to sell." With years of experience in radio and media, Hollis has an enchanting ability to instantly connect with his audiences and capture their attention. But of course, like the art of magic itself, sales is not inherently all innate, even in those meant for the industry. With over 30 years of experience in sales, Hollis has seen it all and knows what it takes to truly master the art of sales, including the ability…
