We have recently released our annual overview and salary guide for the sales market, which covers all our specialist sectors in depth, including FMCG, Energy & Oil, Construction, IT & Telecoms, Media & Communication and Manufacturing. Interestingly, the report shows that despite the ongoing challenges presented by the global economy, companies continue to invest in their sales force as they look to increase their market share.
The technology market is performing particularly well, as companies look to recruit technically astute members of the sales team to expand revenue streams in new products and technical advances. This is leading to high levels of competition for the top talent, with counter-offers often 15-20% higher than a candidate’s current salary. Cloud computing in particular has played a large role in this growth and candidates with knowledge and experience of selling cloud computing solutions are extremely highly sought-after.
The survey also provides detailed information about bonuses and commission received by salespeople, how happy sales people are in their current roles and how companies can recruit and retain the top talent.
