Staffing sales means calling hiring managers who already have agencies, defending your markup, and turning one contractor into an account. Practice the conversations that open doors.
Every hiring manager you call has a preferred vendor list and an inbox full of recruiters. The fight is not convincing them staffing works; it is convincing them to give the next req to you. That means surviving "we already have agencies," stating your fee without flinching, and asking for a trial req specific enough to say yes to, all in a call they wanted to end at hello.
The buyer
What you'll drill
“We already work with three agencies. I'm not adding a fourth.”
The vendor-list wall: the opening every staffing call must get through, and volume pitching bounces off it.
“Your markup is how much? The other firm does it for less.”
The fee squeeze: defending margin with a straight face is the difference between an account and a race to the bottom.
“The last agency sent us six resumes and none of them could do the job.”
The burned-before objection, staffing edition: quality doubt that a promise cannot fix but a process can.
“Send me your rate card and I'll keep you on file.”
The polite filing cabinet. Reps need a next step that is not a document.
