Why employers and job seekers choose NW People

For employers

Sales roles vary based on your customer type, response time expectations and how leads enter the system. We take time to understand whether your team works from inbound queries, outbound outreach, account retention or territory development. We shortlist candidates who are comfortable with the pace, customer interaction style and reporting rhythm of your environment, not just the title.

For job seekers

We support people looking for sales jobs where targets are clear and processes are steady. We’ll outline how leads arrive, how customer conversations are documented, how often follow-up is expected and how results are tracked. If the role aligns with how you like to communicate, we’ll move forward at your pace.

FAQs

How can I make my sales experience stand out when applying?

Show evidence of results – revenue growth, retention, pipeline wins, new accounts or market expansion – rather than listing responsibilities.

Are there roles that focus more on account relationships than new business?

Yes. Many roles are relationship-focused, prioritising client retention and account growth rather than cold outreach.

How can we assess whether a sales candidate is genuinely capable of delivering outcomes?

Discuss pipeline strategies, target achievement history and examples of account development to understand consistency and approach.
