3 tips to land that top sales job

As a sales professional, you probably often wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. But how can you make sure that top sales roles come your way? Below, I’ll give you 3 tips on how to land the sales job you’ve been dreaming about.

1. Get yourself noticed

First of all, make sure that interesting companies know who you are. Be active on LinkedIn: share interesting content, for example successes or successful cases, and create your own persona. You have to make sure you are seen as an expert in your field.

2. Talk to recruiters

Secondly – and you probably don’t want to hear this – interact with recruiters. Ask your friends and colleagues which recruiters they interact with and then go talk with them. Get to know them and let them get to know you, so they can contact you when they find a top sales job that’s perfect for you.

3. Set realistic expectations

And last but not least, be realistic. If you’ve already done the first 2 things and you still haven’t found that top sales job you’re looking for, then your expectations are probably unrealistic.

So don’t expect a 30% salary raise and don’t expect to become a sales manager if right now you’re an account executive. A top sales job will not just find its way to you while you’re waiting. So get yourself out there: a conversation never hurt anybody.
