For Barron Williams, defining the skillset of a good sales and marketing director is possibly the most complex and satisfying of all the management disciplines.

Excellent negotiation skills and commercial awareness are a given. The ability to motivate and lead a team, creativity, adaptability and the drive to challenge and inspire sales growth are all essential. However, there’s also a certain alchemy needed that is a little more difficult to achieve.

In our experience, this is what makes senior marketing and sales roles by far the most interesting to fill. The key challenge is finding people that are compatible with an organisation’s culture, as well as the right skills and experience. It is relatively easy to find people with the right CV, the right skills and experience. However finding those with a true talent for sales and the ability to fit into an organisations mindset, its unique personality, that is the key.

Barron Williams helped me secure an executive position when I relocated back to the UK from the US. Their comms and professionalism throughout the recruitment process was impeccable, they listened and acted on my requirements in matching me to the right job. I would certainly recommend them.

They listened to what we wanted and they found the right person for the COO role.”

Neil Parker

CEO

“It’s very hard to put into words what Barron Williams has done for me. First class in service and keeping in contact throughout the recruitment process. I was always responded to within 24 hours and the reply would always answer my question but more so to be then given additional help with regard to process and next steps in securing that job or an interview.”
