If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
You’ve seen them: the Domino’s commercials talking up their new pizza recipe. Have you tried it? Well, lots of folks have, and it’s changed everything for Domino’s, according to an article in USA Today– New Pizza Recipe Did Wonders For Domino’s Sales.
Domino’s was not doing well. They had a poor reputation and were at the bottom of an already shrinking pizza market in the middle of a recession–not a recipe for success. So what did they do? They bet everything on a brand-new recipe and a brand-new campaign, and not only is it going to keep Them in business, it’s looking to me like it’s going to make them flourish. It was a brave move, and it worked.
So what does this mean for you in your lab or health care sales job search? If your old pizza isn’t selling (you’re not getting job interviews or offers), then it’s not the kind of pizza they’re looking for. You’ve got to be brave…throw that stuff out and come up with something they’re going to want. If what you’re doing now isn’t working, you’ve got no risk at all in changing it up: get a brand-new RESUME, try a new style, try a new strategy, ask someone’s opinion and take their advice.
If you’re having interview problems, think about hiring a career coach for a CV review or an overall fresh perspective on your style.
Create a 30/60/90-day plan, and bring it to the interview.
Put together a brag book, and practice presenting it.

Do something different if what you’re doing now isn’t working.
Not only are you likely to get better results, you’re going to have renewed energy for your own campaign.
If Domino’s can do it, you can do it.
If only you could just bribe the interviewer with a pizza…
