 Aaron Wallis offers a wide range of sales recruitment services aimed at employers planning a graduate intake.  These services are as follows:

ASSESSMENT CENTRE SERVICES 

An Aaron Wallis Assessment Centre is tailored to your business and designed to tease out the competencies required to succeed in your sales team.  Dependent on your requirements our BPS Level ‘B’ staff will design a half day, or full day that will typically involve: 

• Role-plays,
• Presentations,
• Psychometric assessment
• Skills testing and Ability Testing
• Aptitude testing
• Group exercises

The Assessment Centres can either take place on your premises or at no additional cost in our boardroom facilities in York, Cheltenham and Milton Keynes. 

The Aaron Wallis Assessment Centre service provides excellent value for money should you be looking to hire two or more graduates for your sales team.  Typically fees are around £2500+VAT per placement and your investment in graduate staff is backed by the Aaron Wallis 12 month rebate scheme.

RESULTS BASED RECRUITMENT 

This complex service works closely with your graduate employees during the first year of their employment and is a combination of recruitment, sales training, mentoring and remote coaching on a continual basis.  The backbone principles behind this service is that ‘Purpose drives attitude which in turn drives performance’ and is aimed at increasing the likelihood of the success and performance of your sales recruits. 

Unfortunately in a 2007 sales survey over a third of sales professionals left their previous job within the first 12 months.  After reasonable insight and consultation, Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, feels that the lacking ingredient is loyalty .  But what is loyalty to an employer?  Loyalty tends to happen in years two and three plus as relationships are developed and employees become embraced within a company brand, values and mission.  And, unfortunately in virtually every business and every industry sector the best performance from a sales professional are in years two, three and four when they are still keen yet understand the products, market and differentiators. 

How can we therefore retain our sales staff into years two, thee and four?  The answer is investment and the tools for career development.

A 2005 Harvard Business School Report detailed that there had been a significant shift in the last decade as employees did not join businesses to be there for the ‘long term’.  Instead they would remain with the business as long as the employer gave them ‘career opportunities’. 

Loyalty nowadays is therefore based upon whether the employee feels they are being invested into and feel that their career is developing.  This is why Aaron Wallis developed Results Based Recruitment. 

The service commences with an Assessment Centre approach to hiring staff ensuring that the employees have the personality, drivers and values together with appropriate academic experience to succeed in your business. 

Working with your staff we will then understand your corporate objectives and expectations of your graduate recruits.  Then inline with your objectives and under the guidance of qualified NLP practitioners the successful candidates will embark on a two day goal setting and attitudes course followed by a three days classic sales training course. 

By completing this five day sales and attitudes programme before physically joining your business each employee  now has the underlying sales principles, sales traits and driving and motivational factors to succeed.  By developing a success attitude model with each employee and training common sales techniques the graduates are now ready for product and specific sales training. 

Then inline with your requirements your graduate recruits will embark on further training at the end of month 3, month 6 and month 9 and will have continuous email and phone coaching with our training staff.  A fundamental part of the training is checking against goals set at previous sessions and re-aligning attitudes where necessary.

We charge for the recruitment and all of the training involved in the process.  As such this solution is not cheap but has proven to be extremely effective and is backed by our 12 months rebate scheme so your investment is protected.
