What happened? The interview went extremely well, in many cases, itcould not have gone better. So why were you discounted as a viablecandidate? The answer is actually quite simple. The most important thing to remember aboutreally big sales is that you only play a small part in the selling. The realselling goes on when you are not there, when the people you sold to go back andtry to convince the others. The betteryou prepare your internal sponsors, the easier it will be for them to convinceothers. In short, if the interviewercannot sell you to their boss, they will not present you to their boss. Why does this situation exist? Simple:Most candidates limit themselves to only three pieces of sales documentationduring their job search: resume, cover letter and thank-you letter, and allthree are usually in the wrong format. Lloyd will discuss the eight pieces ofsales documentation that he teaches his clients to provide during interviews toOut-Document Your Competition.
