Companies such as Tesco, Sainsburys and ASDA in the UK tend to study the activities of each other to achieve competitive advantage. Similarly, as a sales job seeker, you will need to know your business competitors inside out to get the competitive advantage and the job you want. This is one of the main reasons why most successful salespeople who leave a company are usually snapped up almost instantaneously by the competitors particularly if the industry you are in is highly incestuous and where word spreads pretty fast. Individuals who are new to any industry and those who want to further their sales career in their chosen trade needs to research the main players so it can give you the 'edge' and catapult you to stay ahead of the job hunters crowd.

This is especially important in the telephone interview techniques. Although, this is more of an 'investigative call' rather than a telephone interview, the fundamentals remain. You will find that not all companies are open to this approach. However, the majority of them will always be interested in good candidates. Send them your cover letter and CV and do not forget your web link as well. If you are good in sales and can bring revenue to any company then I think it is silly for companies not to offer you an interview at the very least. Follow up with your contacts. Find out further details on the opportunities. You can always ask about referrals to other companies who may be looking for sales candidates. This is worth pursuing even when there are no opportunities currently available.
