The follow-up for a sales job should emulate the sales process and show the employer that you’re persistent and committed.Even in this age of email, Klymshyn recommends sending handwritten notes to every person you have met with. Send them as soon as possible, he advises. “Four business days later, if you have not heard from the senior-most person who interviewed you, call him or her,” he adds.In the interim, consider putting together 30-, 60-, and 90-day plans showing what you would do if you got the job, and send them to the vice president of sales, suggests Konrath. Continue researching the industry while you wait to hear back. “Send the vice president of sales a note telling him what you've done or learned since the interview,” she adds. “Or if you find an interesting article or white paper, you could send him a note mentioning that you thought he might find it valuable and why.” Act as though you have just finished a sales call and you were waiting to hear back from the client.
