Have you had any special success with help wanted copy for recruiting your sales staff?

I've run every kind of commercial I can think of and creativity is not usual a problem.  I like to look at all input with creative for our clients, but it occurred to me I don't do the same thing when I run a now hiring ad for myself.  Thought someone out there might have a suggestion or two.  The Question of the day then remains: "Why is it so hard to find sales people?"See More

Jim,

Welcome to Radio Sales Café, and thank you for joining us! I hope you'll find the site a useful resource. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Also, if you're on Facebook and/or Twitter, you might like to follow RSC there (links on the right side of the page); we're constantly posting motivational quotes, sales tips & articles, ideas for promotions, etc., that are not found on the site per se.

Best wishes,

Rebecca
