Savages, I have an odd one.
As I shared with you all in a post I made some time ago, my wife also got into sales about 6 months.
She`s now looking to move and just had an informal kind of interview today with the co-founder of a software development company (in the AEC space - architecture, engineering, and construction).
They don`t have an open position right now, but can budget for one and are definitely interested to hire here as they don`t have a proper full-time sales rep at the moment for their AEC software (they have other products as well). The co-founder asked her to prepare a proposal with her expected day-to-day, expected comp, etc, and send it to them so they can consider her for a sales position and potentially hire her here in the following months.
My question to you guys and gals: have you done anything like this before? Write a proposal, sort of "selling" your profile. If yes, do you have any tips on how to write a "winning proposal"?
Bit of context: This company is a startup probably series A to B (don`t have as much info on client base, revenue, etc so far), and it seems a good fit as my wife worked as an architect for the past 7 years then as a full cycle sales rep in her current job for the past 6 months.
P.S This should have been my wife's posting but she still hasn`t gotten around to creating a profile here - something that will def change after I get all the great advice on this post I`m sure ๐
