Yes, you can.

At Salesagents.uk we have years of experience in helping business principals find and connect with self-employed, independent sales agents and sales agencies. Employers looking for an alternative to recruitment agencies and expensive advert placement have seen how our services work and requested to use them to fill their salaried sales vacancies. We have now added a Head-Hunting feature to our Premium service, which is perfect for finding sales professionals for your employed sales positions.

We treat every client’s campaign to find sales people individually and aim the advert on our website, the promotion campaign, and the Head-Hunting service at a targeted audience.

Our Promotions Team will run a campaign using our many online accounts, newsletters, mailshots, and paid adverts and posts at sales professionals that meet your requirements.

Our Head-Hunting team will search and contact sales people and discuss your opportunity with them.

The aim of all this activity is to get sales professionals to apply for your employed sales positions where you then take over and select the ones you want to progress.

Absolutely, we can help! Our audience and database include a wide range of sales and business professionals eager for new opportunities, including established businesses looking to expand their product offerings as resellers.

We have a strong audience base if you are looking for resellers, distributors, affiliates, franchisees, or other types of sales partners. Our audience primarily consists of entrepreneurial sales professionals and SMEs open to new opportunities. The form of the contract is secondary as long as you have a good product to sell and your opportunity offers solid income potential.

Whether you’re seeking to grow your sales through independent agents, salaried representatives, resellers, distributors, affiliates, franchisees, or other types of sales partners, we can connect you with the right fit for your needs.

We know how difficult it is to write a good advert, so we employ professional copywriters to create an attention grabbing, full page advert for you.

With the Free Listing you need to write your own advert, which may seem easy until you start writing. We’ve put together some guidance to help you to create an effective advert at: How to Find Sales Agents by Creating an Effective Advert

Your advert can be live and your campaign to find agents started the next working day after placing your order. Everything is done online, it’s quick, simple, and you can start by selecting the service you want at: Pricing table

Of course. You can easily edit the ad at any time.

You can usually expect to receive applications in the first 5 to 7 days after your service goes live. When agents react to our promotion of your opportunity they tend to view the advert a couple of times and then apply.

The number of applications will be related to the value the sales agent sees in your opportunity: The potential commission earnings, the size of the target market, the sales message to customers, and the benefits for the agent. The benefits will be presented in your full page advert on our website that our copywriters will create for you.

Yes, you can! All adverts on Salesagents.uk can include a link to your website. With a paid package, you also have the option to add images and/or a video to make your advert more engaging and visually appealing.

Advertising works when you have the right message and the right audience.

Shouting into a megaphone in the middle of a random crowd? Probably not ideal.

But platforms like search engines and social media are effective because they can target specific people – and that’s what we do, too.

We focus on a very specific audience: sales professionals, agents, SMEs, and entrepreneurs who are actively looking for new opportunities.

And we don’t just post an ad and leave it there. Here’s how we make sure your opportunity gets noticed:

1. Crafting Your Message: We help with the messaging and copywriting to make your opportunity stand out to professional sales agents.
2. Targeted Promotion: Your opportunity gets shared through multiple channels, including our newsletter, social media groups, and dedicated promotion pages.
3. Proactive Head-Hunting: Our head-hunting team actively contacts agents. If you’re on our Premium service, they’ll pitch your opportunity directly over the phone to the most suitable candidates.

So even if you’re sceptical about advertising, know that our service goes far beyond a simple ad – we actively work to connect you with the right candidates.

We’ll give this objection some credence – there are indeed some lower-quality candidates out there. As our platform grows, the audience expands, and inevitably, a few unsuitable applicants slip through.

For example, we received this feedback from a new client after they used our service for a week or two: “I’m disappointed in the quality of the applicants. We’ve had seven apply, and only three were relevant and professional agents. The other four weren’t suitable at all.”

In cases like this, we encourage clients to focus on the qualified, promising candidates rather than judge us too harshly on the irrelevant ones. It’s a balancing act – while we aim to reach a large audience, we’re constantly working to maintain a high-quality user base. Here’s how we manage this balance:

• Blacklist: We monitor and blacklist candidates who use the “copy & paste” method of applying across multiple opportunities without genuine interest.
• Follow-Up Questions: We prompt applicants with specific questions, confirming details like UK residency, sales experience, and relevant industry contacts in your target market.
• One-Click Rejection: For applications that don’t meet your needs, you can use the “one-click rejection” feature, and we’ll handle the rejection for you. This way, you can quickly filter out unsuitable candidates and focus on professionals who can bring in new business.

While we can’t guarantee every candidate will be a perfect match, we work hard to minimise irrelevant applications and make it easy for you to zero in on the right fit. If a candidate who doesn’t match your needs applies, simply use the “one-click rejection” tool, and keep your focus on strong, promising candidates who can drive results for you.

This is a fair concern, especially if your product requires a technical background. But don’t lose hope:

• Specialist Agents: We have a wide range of agents across various sectors and can often find someone with relevant experience.
• Training and Support: For some technical needs, agents can be trained to handle sales, while your team supports the technical details.
• Lead Generation Option: You might use agents for lead generation, allowing you to manage technical sales aspects in-house.
• B2B Partnerships: Partnering with established businesses that offer complementary services could be another approach, whether as resellers or in an agent model.

Even in niche markets, there’s usually a solution. Contact us, and we’ll help you find the best way forward.

Not correct. In reality, when qualified agents are set up for success from the start, they’re much more likely to produce results. Success with agents often comes down to momentum: the faster they begin reaching out to potential clients, the more engaged they’ll be in driving those important early sales.

Once you’ve found agents with the right skills and industry contacts, it’s crucial to get them selling as soon as possible:

• Provide Tools and Training: Equip agents with everything they need right from the start – training, sales materials, CRM access, email templates, and, if possible, leads. Removing any initial obstacles sets them up for action.
• Set Immediate Activity Goals: Agents need to see progress early on to stay motivated, so it’s essential to set clear, realistic goals that get them moving. For each day that passes without momentum, the chances of a successful start drop, so getting them active quickly is key.

When agents start building sales dialogues and see commissions as a tangible goal, their drive to succeed grows dramatically. And frankly, with thousands of companies succeeding through Salesagents.uk, there’s every reason to believe yours can too – if you help your agents get up and running fast.

We get it; if a previous experience didn’t go as planned, it’s natural to feel cautious about trying again. But the key to success is understanding what didn’t work last time and making adjustments. Were the candidates a poor fit? Was there a lack of support or preparation? Identifying the areas that fell short can make all the difference.

Even if things didn’t work perfectly the first time, a fresh approach and a few tweaks often lead to much better outcomes. Reach out to discuss how it can be done better this time around.

With rising costs everywhere, we understand that budget is a concern. We’ve kept our prices steady for many years while adding much more value to our packages. Our service is designed to put you in control; you can pause, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Although we recommend a 3-month commitment for a thorough search, the choice is yours.

If a £250 or £450 investment isn’t feasible right now, you may want to try other methods and return when you’re ready.

This isn’t so much an objection as it is a reason to get started on the right foot. If you’re unsure about being fully prepared, Salesagents.uk offers resources to help you get there. A good starting point might be our e-book, The Easy Way to Find Sales Agents in the UK, along with articles on our blog that guide you through the process.

When you sign up as a client, you’ll also gain access to our download section, where you can find contract templates, legal guides, and other valuable tools. You might even find services on our Sales Tool page that can speed up your readiness – for many businesses, having a professionally created Sales Deck, for instance, is a huge leap forward in working with agents successfully.

This can be a real challenge. For commission-based agents to succeed, the commission needs to be appealing enough to make their efforts worthwhile. If your margins are tight, this may also impact the ROI of hiring in-house sales reps on a fixed salary.

If this is your situation, relying solely on effective marketing, word-of-mouth or referrals may work – but that’s a big “if” for many companies.

One option is to adjust your expectations and aim for agents who have existing networks in your target market. By presenting your product as an additional income stream, you’re not asking them to dedicate time exclusively to you but rather to include your offering in conversations with clients they’re already engaging with. Think of it as a more flexible, affiliate-like approach where agents aren’t fully dependent on your opportunity but can earn some extra income from it.

So, while low commissions can be limiting, they can still work if you’re upfront about the setup and position your product as a complementary revenue stream for agents.

It’s perfectly reasonable to be cautious when trying a new service. Here are a few reasons we hope you’ll feel comfortable giving us a try:

1. A Proven Track Record: We’ve been around for years and built a reputation as the leading portal for connecting businesses with sales agents in the UK.
2. Easy to Reach: We’re not hiding behind an email address. You can find us on our Contact Us page, where you’ll see options to call, email, or use our contact form. We’re quick to respond to any questions or concerns.
3. Testimonials and Case Studies: We have many testimonials from companies that have successfully used our service, which you can read further up on this page. For a deeper look, you can also explore detailed case studies to see real examples of how we’ve helped businesses like yours.
4. Ongoing Improvement: We’re constantly working to enhance our service. Our About page features monthly updates that highlight new improvements and demonstrate our commitment to delivering the best possible experience.
5. Always in control: Let us reemphasize that you remain in full control after registering with us. With the click of a button, you can pause, downgrade, or cancel any campaign. We are solely focused on ensuring our clients are satisfied and achieve a high ROI from our service, and we never lock you into any commitment you can’t easily change or exit.

Yes, we can. We offer an introduction service to find sales agents in many European countries. You’ll find more information on how it works here.

Direct management of sales agents is not a service we provide. Our role is to connect you with top-quality sales professionals tailored to your needs; from there, management is in your hands. However, you may find helpful resources and third-party services in our Sales Tools section to support effective management of your sales team.
