Wondering how to start a sales employment agency? We take you step-by-step from start to success.

Elements of a Sales Employment Agency Business Plan

Your sales employment agency's business plan should be tailored to your business's unique traits and goals. Yet good business plans universally hit on sound business plan elements:

  • Mission Statement � A concise declaration of values, strategy and identity.
  • Goals & Objectives � A list of mile markers on your sales employment agency's road to success.
  • Financial, Marketing & Action Plans � Specific plans that describe your business environment, demographic targets and quantitative estimates.

Check Out Competitors

Long before you open a sales employment agency in your area, it's a smart move to determine how you will fit in the competitive landscape. We've provided the link below to help you generate a list of competitors in your city. Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of sales employment agencies that are close by.

Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.

Learning More About the Industry

As part of your due diligence on opening a sales employment agency, it's essential that you talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

But, a person who owns a sales employment agency on the other side of the country may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

How do you locate an owner of a sales employment agency who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?

Simply, try our helpful link below, type in a random city/state or zipcode, and start calling.

Three Arguments for Buying a Sales Employment Agency

It's almost always preferable to buy a sales employment agency than to pursue a sales employment agency startup.

Although buyers should always perform thorough due diligence, there at least three reasons you should consider a sales employment agency purchase as your entryway to business ownership.

  • Proven Profitability. If you're careful in your research, the sales employment agency you buy will have a track record of profitability � a big plus since it may take months or even years for a startup to turn a profit.
  • Operational Efficiency. Existing businesses are established operations, with the necessary processes, people and other resources already in place.
  • Funding. Lenders, investors and other funding sources almost always prefer business purchases to startups.

Consider Franchising

If done right, a small business startup takes months and months of preparations just to lay the groundwork for the first day of business.

That makes franchising an attractive alternative to traditional business startups. Our employment staffing franchise directory offers a variety of sales employment agency franchise opportunities, many of which may be the perfect fit for your personal and professional goals.
