The UK Sales Survey 2009
In the complex and tough markets of 2009 it is essential that every employer knows what motivates their sales teams and salespeople in general. For salespeople, it is critical that you know what motivates you. To help with this I have partnered with recruitment company Aaron Wallis to sponsor the 2009 Sales Survey.
We are aiming to get responses from over 1000 sales professionals thus giving us a true and accurate snapshot of what it is really like to work in sales in 2009. The survey is being widely promoted in the media and I will be publishing the results and anything that we can learn or use from them. This research will also be featuring in the autumn / winter edition of the ISMM’s Winning Edge magazine.
The results will provide the data for the report ‘The State of the UK Sales Industry, 2009’ and is applicable to anyone in a sales led role. The survey is totally anonymous and the the results will be made available free of charge to download to everyone that takes part and will be published on GavinIngham.com, 2009 Sales Survey and also www.aaronwallis.co.uk.
The survey consists of just over 60 questions and will take around ten to twelve minutes to complete. The questions are designed to be a mixture of work related and life related questions. We hope that you enjoy completing it.
To get you thinking, here are some interesting results from the 2007 survey…
- Almost 50% of respondents said they’d lied at interview, mostly about why they left their last job and about their salary.
- Only 23% of female respondents were in senior management jobs compared to 46% of men.
- 54% of female respondents earned over £25k. 81% of male respondents earned over 25k.
- 32% of respondents said they’d had no training in the previous year.
- The number one top priority in any new job was the opportunity to grow and develop.
- Female respondents were twice as likely to be satisfied with their career/job.
- 43% didn’t take their full holiday entitlement.
- Being respected was the single biggest driver for all respondents – far more than money.
- 60% thought they could do their boss’s job better!
Why not have your say in the 2009 survey now? I’ve already had mine! As a ‘thank you’ for completing the survey you have the opportunity to win an ‘ultimate experience’. This is a choice of over 100 experiences ranging from a 30 minute ‘Tiger Moth’ flight to an overnight golf break for two to a racing experience in a Lamborghini.
You can take the 2009 Sales Survey here now and you can rest assured that I will be using the outputs to ensure that my sales training programmes, sales seminars and sales products stay ahead of the game and keep giving you the motivation and the strategies that you require to keep on selling with passion.
