The city of Philadelphia located in Pennsylvania
is known for a variety of things, spanning from its popular tourist attraction-
the Liberty Bell, its famous cheesecake dessert popularly called the ‘Baked
Philly Cheesecake’ to its great variety of outdoor sculptures and murals.
Philadelphia is most renowned though for its
relatively tax free shopping. It has an array of shopping malls and retail
outlets and is in fact home to the largest mall in the U.S East coast.
With so many malls and shopping outlets,
efficient sales staff are an important requisite and yet mostly difficult to
find. Competent sales executives are almost solely responsible for a majority
of the stores sales and thus in great demand too. Hence if you are on the
lookout for sales staff for your retail outlet or company, recruiting, hiring
and maintaining them must be done with great care and time spent.
Best ways to recruit proficient sales staff:
· A quick resume search on leading job portals will throw up a great pool of resumes of both
fresh sales graduates and experienced sales staff that are looking for jobs or
looking to switch jobs and are available to hire.
· Contract with a reputed recruiting agency and
discuss your exact requirement with them. They have extensive resume databases that span all types of
prospective candidates’ right from fresh applicants to experienced ones. They
have multiple resume database
software to create and maintain an updated mix of all relevant resumes and can
for a small fee provide you with a number of suitable candidates that will fit
your requirement.
· Advertise with local newspapers and local trade
magazines. Also place advertisements on non job specific websites. You could
get a great response if your position is for a local job.
· One of the most cost effective ways of finding
sales staff is through networking. Ask colleagues and staff members to make
recommendations of people they know who would be interested in sales. Also
introduce a reward or incentive programme where they are rewarded for every
candidate that is recommended by them and hired successfully in the company.
