The Fight for Sales Talent in Leeds

Lack of Industry-Specific Experience

Many candidates may have general sales experience, but finding those with deep knowledge of a specific sector, whether it’s SaaS, financial services, or FMCG, can be tough. Without that context, new hires often face a steep learning curve, slowing down their impact.

Demand for Consultative Sellers

Today’s buyers are informed. Companies in Leeds are looking for salespeople who can act as trusted advisors, not just sellers. Finding candidates with that blend of emotional intelligence and commercial drive is a challenge.

Competitive Commission Culture

With many companies offering attractive commission schemes, top salespeople are frequently headhunted. Employers in Leeds must compete on more than just money, culture, flexibility and progression now matter more than ever.
