Hiring the wrong salesperson is expensive. Hiring the right people is hard
Expensive isn’t just about wasting money on salaries, it’s:
Missing targets
Standards dropping
Losing out on revenue
Momentum slowed
Management time drained
Accountability fades
Financial services, brokerages and fintech firms that rely on revenue generating sales talent to drive growth. These are sales floors with real accountability that have ambitious founders and sales leaders who invest in top performers.
Targets are high and standards are higher. These aren’t comfortable roles. They’re career defining ones and they require a specific type of character.
Working with a specialised recruiter is essential when scaling a high-performing sales team. Tom’s experience in this type of environment means he truly understands the calibre, mindset and intensity I need, consistently introducing candidates who integrate quickly and start delivering revenue”
- Henry Green (CEO @ Assured)

"Challenging, fast-paced, and a steep learning curve"
Moving to London, I quickly saw how many options there are in sales and how difficult it is to know who to trust. From the start, Tom was clear about the demands of a high-pressure sales role and the standards required to succeed. My first 12 months at Alpha have been exactly what I was looking for: challenging, fast-paced, and a steep learning curve, with financial reward aligned to performance.
"I wanted a role that would challenge me"
With no prior sales experience, I wanted a role that would challenge me and accelerate my earnings. Tom understood the environment I was looking for and placed me at Alpha in a demanding setting, surrounded by driven, like-minded people who push me to improve every day.

"High standards, strong development"
I wanted a sales role where I could be part of something growing, ambitious, and challenging. Leilani was clear on expectations and incisive with my motivations. Six months into Assured, it has proved the right fit: a fast-paced sales floor with high standards, strong development, and the opportunity to grow.
