Re: Outside Sales Position
I want to make sure that we get the right guy in this position. You know the last one was really too wimpy to get in the customer’s face and ask for the sale. We need someone who is comfortable taking a guy out for a beer every now and then. The last salesman also kept complaining about being away from his kids. We can’t have salesmen hanging around the daycare when they need to be out selling widgets to truckers. Let’s get the right man for the job, this time.
Also, we don’t have funds for relocation. Candidates must be local!
Part C show a proposal that describes how and where you would advertise this position. Use at least four(4)different advertising methods. Your advertising budget is very small.
