The 10 Most Important "To-Do's" of Any Successful Salesperson

As a salesperson, you need to follow a number of important steps in order to be successful. Receiving an e-mail from the company isn’t enough; you should make sure your professional presence is well-developed when the company first contacts you. Following this step ahead of time will establish yourself as an authority and will allow for more opportunities later on. In addition, avoid introducing yourself by using your name! This can be confusing for people looking for information on your website or social media page. Always use in your title and links to identify what position you are in at the company.

Your first e-mail should always be sent to the contact for that specific job. Always state why you are contacting the company on this particular e-mail, and provide all of the relevant details on why you are perfect for the job. Always make sure your overall tone is professional, and that you are describing yourself positively. Avoid e-mailing a friend regarding your job search, use this opportunity to get a few more qualified applicants! [Image: Link to LinkedIn profile]

 Be sure to follow up with everyone that has requested information from you within 1 business day of receiving their response. Any delay in following up will make you look unprofessional. Don't over sell, simply state why you would be a perfect fit for the job. If you get an e-mail with a job attached, use the information within the e-mail to provide information on how you would benefit the company. You can always send back a thank you note or acknowledgement at any time if it is not too busy. [Image: Link to LinkedIn profile]

Involve yourself in other opportunities within your industry as well. Keep up with any industry relevant social media networks, and continue to take part in any relevant groups and events happening around town. This shows your dedication to your career and will give you more opportunities to meet the right people. [Image: Link to the author's blog ]

You should always keep up with the latest news going on in your industry. This will allow you to be more knowledgeable when you meet with prospective employers, and will allow for a better conversation throughout your meeting. Keep up with company information that may affect your job search as well; you should also keep up with your own personal brand, such as writing a blog or posting on forums in order to establish credibility.

 Always keep up with your own personal brand and manage it effectively. The better you present yourself, and your brand, the more likely you will receive a call regarding a job opportunity. Be sure to reference the company within your posts and links, this will help establish credibility for the company. [Image: Link to LinkedIn profile]

Once you have received an e-mail regarding a job opportunity, be sure to follow up as soon as possible . Any delay in responding will make it seem like you do not take this opportunity seriously. Always respond with a thank you note as well informing them of any delays if necessary, or providing any additional information that is necessary. [Image: Link to LinkedIn profile]

Always follow up with everyone that contacts you regarding a job opportunity. Be sure to keep in touch with them until you have received any information they may need from you, and once again always follow up with a thank you note as well.  [Image: Link to LinkedIn profile]
