2013 Sales Jobs Outlook
By John Rossheim,
Monster Senior Contributing Writer


In this corner, political uncertainty, the “fiscal cliff,” Europe on an economic precipice and the rising fixed costs of keeping sales representatives on the payroll. And in the opposite corner, a gradually improving economy, incrementally increased business confidence and sales automation tools that make sales hires a better investment.

Yes, sales hiring in 2013 is shaping up as a fistfight between the forces of positive thinking and the pall of pessimism in turbulent times. “We're cautiously optimistic," says Peter Polachi, founding partner at Framingham, Massachusetts-based Polachi Access Executive Search, which finds top-level sales executives for technology, venture-capital and private-equity firms. "Business is expanding, but how quickly will it grow [in 2013]?”

Even as the housing market rises from a historic bottom, the trauma of the financial crisis has transformed consumer attitudes for the long run. "With the recession, customers are a lot more careful about spending their money," says Lenny Kharitonov, president of Unlimited Furniture Group, a New York City retailer. Against this background, who will be hiring sales reps in 2013, and what knowledge and aptitudes will employers be seeking in sales job candidates? Let's take a look around.

Many Firms Expect to Grow Sales Staff Sales job opportunities won't be concentrated in a small number of industries in 2013; they'll be found wherever in the economy businesses are finding ways to sustain growth. Take health information technology, a busy intersection of two high tech industries in the 2010s. "We have about two dozen inside and outside salespeople, account managers and sales engineers, who are more technical," says Kevin Cook, vice president of business development at Curaspan, a Newton, Massachusetts-based provider of patient-management software. "We expect to grow our salesforce by at least 20 percent in 2013." Technical and Product Knowledge Matter -- How important will it be to know the industry that you sell into in 2013? It depends, often on the availability of specific knowledge in available sales candidates.

"In technology, domain knowledge is a key driver," Polachi says. "It's somewhat looser with social media, cloud computing and big data, because you often can’t find a guy who has five or 10 years of experience." Indeed, even in technology sales, core skills are often transferable, at least to a degree. "For outside sales, we're looking for healthcare experience, so they can build relationships with senior executives," Cook says. For inside sales, the successful candidate's experience could be lighter in healthcare or in an industry such as financial services, he adds.

Telecommunications News– Integra Go To Cloud Firewall Service For Colorado Companies!

Telecommunications – Integra Telecom’s Cloud Firewall Service
Posted by Jim Warren

Businesses rely on the internet for everything from research to booking travel to interacting with partners. Despite all the amazing services, applications, and knowledge found on the Web, it presents a risk to your business. Malware, a computer application intentionally created to inflict damage by stealing data, denying services, or performing other activities that can disrupt your business, is increasingly costing businesses time, money and even reputation. Additionally, the internet provides opportunities for employees to spend unauthorized time visiting inappropriate websites. Using the internet is not optional.

However, you must take precautions to protect your business. An outsourced security solution, Integra Telecom’s Cloud Firewall Service (CFS), delivers the protection your business requires without demanding a capital expenditure or a staff of Internet security experts. CFS provides a single point of control that monitors and protects your business from the harm of dangerous Internet incidents.

It is available in several configurations that, depending upon your needs, can contain:
• An application-aware firewall
• Website filtering
• Antivirus and anti-spyware
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• File filtering
• Customizable reports
• A VPN client for remote users The elements that make up Integra’s Cloud Firewall Service deliver a highly-secure perimeter around your business’s Internet access. What has been touched upon here is a system designed to keep your business dramatically safer from the Internet’s evolving threats. Because malware is constantly becoming more complex and evasive, businesses absolutely need to consider a security deployment that is robust and stays on top and ahead of ever-changing malicious attacks. CFS is a comprehensive outsourced Internet security service that can be utilized for a fraction of the cost of in-house security solutions.

You can rely on Integra to thoroughly oversee and update these services and relentlessly defend your network from all Internet threats. Who is Integra Telecom? They connect businesses by providing business-grade networking, communications and cloud solutions to thousands of business and carrier customers in 11 Western states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

How to use Job Search taglines to Find a Job!
Use Social to Get the Latest Company Information It’s extremely impressive to a recruiter when they see that you’ve engaged with their company on social sites and shows your dedication to working for them. When you’re in an interview, think of how you can impress the hiring manager by spouting off news about the company that was released within the past couple days…or even hours! Twitter also allows job seekers to follow job search feeds and recruiters in your industry. This gives you real time updates on new jobs and you’re able to pounce on that opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Top Business Network Solutions Fiber-Ethernet-VOIP-SIP-Internet-Data-EOC-Cloud-Phone Network-Web Hosting for Denver Companies!

As reported, Integra Telecom has now expanded it’s service footprint for high speed Internet access to several major metropolitan areas including Phoenix, Denver, Boise, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eugene, Portland, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Santa Rosa. Their article is quoted below: Integra Telecom has made its Ethernet over Copper (EoC) service available in 120 Central Offices (CO), a move that enables it to instantly target over 400,000 businesses in its 11-state footprint.

Integra Telecom (Photo credit: Wikipedia) This latest expansion effort illustrates that Integra has kept to its ongoing expansion plan to offer customers Ethernet in areas where it currently does not have fiber built out yet. Its current EoC drive is all about providing its Ethernet services to a larger base of new customers, but also accommodating existing multisite large local customers like retail, education and healthcare clients.

Mike Kozlowski, director of product management for transport and data at Integra, said, “With the expansion of Integra’s EoC footprint, many more Integra customers can merge their voice, data and cloud services over one highly scalable network.” A twisted pair Cat-3 or Cat-5 cable is used to connect 10BASE-T Ethernet (Photo credit: Wikipedia) With EoC, Integra will deliver bandwidth speeds of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 Mbps increments, with plans to offer a 100 Mbps speed service. In addition to data services, the expanded EoC footprint creates opportunities for the service provider to extend its growing set of managed and IP-based services such as cloud-based security and SIP Trunking to these customers.

The EoC-based service will be, of course, be complemented by its EoTDM (Ethernet over TDM) service out of 300 COs throughout the West. Besides copper and TDM, Integra continues to be aggressive on the fiber-based Ethernet front with over 2,000 buildings connected to its fiber network. During Q1 2012, the service provider added an additional 129 buildings to its on-net fiber footprint.

8 Trends in Sales and Sales Coaching for 2013..Recruiting Tips and More!

8 Trends in Sales and Sales Coaching for 2013
Posted on 07. Dec, 2012 in Blog,

Newsletter The rise of the “expert” seller It’s been coming for a few years and 2013 will see their recognition in the field of sales. The “expert” seller also known as the accidental salesperson. Customers need expertise from salespeople; they need something of value compared to the old days.

Adding value to the sales relationship has been sought otherwise the product or service that you’re selling will be commoditised and bought on the internet or via procurement software packages. 2013 will see the expert salesperson gaining in credibility and effectiveness as sales teams realise they need expertise as well as the ability to communicate, run a sales process and help the customer solve their problems, pains and challenges. Salespeople will fuse into experts who sell.

Cloud based CRM Cloud based CRM is not a new idea. CRM or Customer Relationship Management software has gradually migrated from desktops to the cloud. Once there, it changes everything. Put simply, successful sales people and their managers run their business lives through their CRM software and they do it on the move. Using mobile devices – phones, tablets – salespeople can log their calls and visits, update the customer profiles, communicate, forecast their pipeline, chat to each other and keep focussed on their sales goals and activity. Meanwhile the sales managers and support teams can work alongside the salesperson to benefit the customer. 2013 will at last witness salespeople seeing the benefit. As a result, they’ll update the CRM more regularly than the past and reap the benefits.

Online video The vast majority of websites are stationary, still, lifeless. Online video will see a considerable growth in 2013 in the field of sales and sales coaching. Online video is being increasingly consumed using mobile devices such as your phone or tablet, which makes it easier to view. Video can be put out on YouTube, websites, Facebook, Tweets and companies will want to seriously consider putting out more video in 2013. Not the stale corporate stuff but videos of the people, the humans behind the product and service. More of us will be creating short snippets of video and letting their customer watch the video rather than read an email or written note. Proposals can be accompanied with a video of you talking through the key points or if a customer has asked for more information, send them a video showing how the product works or can help them. Not from the shelf but created fresh.

SoLoMo A new buzz word for 2013. Social, Local, Mobile. It means that customers want to consume from you in a social manner, using social media, locally, so bespoked to their personal needs and mobile, so they can use their mobile device to communicate with you. This is a seriously scary trend brought about by mobile device popularity and their ability to locate wherever you are to a metre. Consumers want advertising to be local to them, delivered via their phone and done socially. So a parking ticket bought by your phone, ensures a pizza special deal is made available to you and your tribe. Coffee at the building society branch is available to you and a chance to chat through your loans, but only if you want to pop in, after all you’re only 10 metres away as you pass. Bulk advertising, expensive TV commercials, mass mailings, eShots… all maybe a thing of the past! Google Live Hangouts This is a serious game changer for salespeople and sales managers. 2013 will see the move towards proper video conferences where people can look each other in the eye as they talk to one another; watch some body language and plenty of facial language to help communicate with each other. Google hangouts works with their social media site – Google Plus – not as popular as Facebook but the same concept. You can start a hangout with anyone in your circles, up to 10 people and have a meeting, a conversation, a hangout with each other on screen.

The videos of each person will be shown to everyone on the hangout. Everyone can talk, listen and enjoy. You can also opt to have the whole thing live screened to YouTube. Suddenly the game changes. You can have as many people as you want view the hangout on your YouTube Channel and once it’s over, a recording will be automatically posted to your channel. For sales managers I can see this technology being used to run sales meetings, run client meetings just like Webex is being used today. The main difference is video and the use of mobile devices, after all, Google + and YouTube needs no additional software. As salespeople merge into experts who sell, the live video can be used to demonstrate expertise, teach, educate and promote on a local level. Watch this one; it’ll impact you in 2013. The decline of email Email use is declining and 2013 will see this trend accelerating. Viruses, Spam deluged folders haven’t helped but the greatest impact is on the younger generation’s use of email. They just don’t dig email. It’s not going to disappear overnight and will remain hugely important but the message for 2013 is… discover another way to communicate online with your customers.

This may be via social media or Socmed as it’s known, texing ironically works well, Skype, YouTube, phone. Total selling I first heard the term in the 1970’s with the Dutch national soccer team. Total football it was known as, then total rugby came in the 1990’s. It means that everyone can play any position and helps the game to be quicker, more fluid and exciting to watch. Total selling involves everyone in the organisation to be involved in the sales process and each person knowing what the other person is doing. The CRM helps here. More companies will train their staff in all aspects of the sales process and it’s they that will develop the competitive advantage. Gamification Another new buzz word for the 2013’s – Gamification – taken from the burgeoning gaming market. I was reading the Economist this week – the gaming industry is now worth $67 billion rivalling the movie industry. Games offer excitement, entertainment, challenge and the ability to win and it’s this Gamification that will effect selling and sales management in 2013. How will the trend evolve. Communication with customers, whatever the means, will become more gamified and consumers will want their messages delivered in this way.

How much entertainment, reward and stickiness does you current communication provide to customers and sales teams alike? In sales teams, sales managers will be considering how to gamify sales meetings, sales trainings, the annual conference, web meetings. In their new book “For the Win”, Werbach and Hunter argued that future communications can be enhanced by gamifying. Games have distinct ingredients and so will our messages. I talk about WIPEing the message. ◦W is for win, can the activity that you create to communicate allow them to win something? ◦I is for instant feedback, how can the group players get instant feedback? ◦P is for points or badges to signify progress and success and ◦E is for excitement, which tells it’s own story Sales people might be considering their sales messages to customers and how sticky these are? Particularly their online messages and communications, can they add an element of WIPE to the way it’s delivered. If they don’t others will and gain a competitive advantage.
