Want more sales?

Want more sales? Improve information when you recruit.

Picture the scene: you’ve just recruited an amazing new salesperson from your competitor. They’ve always been a highflier for your rival, and now you want them to work the same magic for you.

Yet, despite a huge contact list, the sales figures don’t materialise. Your new recruit isn’t as good as your best current salespeople. It’s a recruitment disaster.

But why has it happened?

It’s easy to believe that sales success in one place can be translated anywhere. However, company culture also plays a major part.

Sometimes a previously successful salesperson doesn’t work out – and pours money down the drain.

Success in your company depends on:

  • Redefining the role
  • Offering great training
  • Selling differently for your company

There’s nothing wrong with looking at prior sales success – unless it’s the only thing you base your decision on.

What sales excellence looks like depends on your:

  • Company culture
  • Customers
  • Products & services

Use your top salespeople to create a benchmark against which existing and future staff are measured. Hire more people like those who are already successful.

Identify your ‘brightest shining’ salesperson – and then use them as a benchmark

Research shows that fitting people to the job you’re offering is the only proven method of predicting success in that role.

Great People Inside’s ‘Dimensions’ assessments allow you to:

  • Set your professional standard
  • Measure top performers against a benchmark
  • Recruit & develop salespeople to grow your business
