Though the job application process can be fun in its own right, many people nevertheless dread the need to create or update resumes and craft cover letters, feeling that the task is demanding and time-consuming. As a result, many job candidates apply for positions with less than ideal application materials, a factor that can have a decidedly negative impact on one's chances for getting hired by an attractive firm. In the world of sales, job candidates can ill afford to neglect the quality of their cover letters and supporting documents, as making strong impressions and conveying a sense of personal motivation and ability are among the key components of desirable salesmanship. Of course, not all of those who are talented in sales are necessarily gifted cover letter writers, and candidates new to the field may not be certain about how to approach such documents targeted towards the sales industry.

How much time and money do you devote to your company's sales pipeline? Think about the resources, the software, the meetings, the forecasting, the managing and measuring you do, and the time and effort you give it. If you're like most CEO's or VP's or sales managers, your sales pipeline is your life blood. It's what you run your company by; it's how you make decisions, and often times it even drives your stock prices.While the pipeline is a vital part of the sales process, it is also where the most fundamental mistake is made, and this mistake costs companies millions (if not billions) of dollars every year.The problem is that most companies spend too much time, money and energy on measuring and managing the pipeline rather than managing and improving the quality of leads that go into - and ultimately come out of - the pipeline.In other words, most of the leads that go into your pipeline are never going to close, should never have been put in and, as a result, your company wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars generating and then chasing, and measuring and managing leads that will never close. That's the real problem.Ask yourself: "What is my sales department's closing ratio?"...more
