SALES RECRUITMENT
Sales Recruitment for People Who Understand What They’re Selling
Technical sales takes more than being good with people.
Marshall Harmony helps engineering and manufacturing businesses across the West Midlands and UK recruit sales professionals who understand complex products, customers and commercial relationships.
WHY MARSHALL HARMONY
Commercial Recruitment Built Around Your Market
The right salesperson needs to understand more than a target.
We want to know what you sell, who buys it, how long the sales cycle is, where growth needs to come from and what a successful person needs to achieve.
That gives us a clearer brief and helps us approach sales professionals with the right industry knowledge, commercial ability and working style.
“Laura took the time to really understand what I was looking for in a role. A very honest account of the position and company she was recruiting for, which is very refreshing.”
