The Challenge of Hiring Great Salespeople in Oxford

Sales roles are becoming more consultative

Across Oxford’s life sciences, software and professional services sectors, businesses are seeking salespeople who can understand technical offerings, build relationships and sell solutions, not just products.

Competition for experienced professionals is tight

Many Oxford-based companies are scaling fast, creating strong demand for proven sales performers. Attracting talent that can grow accounts and win new business takes more than just a job spec.

Retention is a growing challenge

Talented sales professionals are in high demand and often approached with multiple opportunities. Without a clear progression path and competitive package, employers risk losing great people too soon.
