Whether you are looking for a new job or looking for a promotion in your current job, it is important to be able to sell yourself. However, it is surprising how many successful salespeople struggle to sell themselves in the same way as they sell their product or service. If you take the same approach to career management as you do to your sales, you will be more likely to gain the role you want.
As with a sale, you should plan your next career move by creating a plan with clear objectives. Carry out an assessment of the situation, make sure you have a clear idea about what you can bring to a company and what you can expect to achieve. In particular, identify what your unique selling point that sets you apart from the competition and ensure your CV clearly demonstrates this.
You should then prepare for an interview in the same way you would prepare for a sales meeting. Make sure you do your research and clearly understand your prospect’s business and what benefits you can bring to them. Prepare convincing examples that you can use to prove your value to the prospect. As with a sales meeting, the more time you spend preparing and rehearsing, the more successful the meeting is likely to be.
By approaching the process in the same way as you approach your sales, you will be more likely to achieve your ideal job.
