Here are the 6 ways to bulletproof your next sales hire:

  1. Nail down that sales process: Ensure you have an efficient sales process to stay ahead of the competition and create a stable foundation for improved performance results.
  2. Create an ideal sales rep profile: Go beyond the standard description, and give information on the company culture. Use your lead salespeople as examples of what new hires could be.
  3. Break the old rules: Delegate non-essential and non-sales activities to administration staff in order to free up sales personnel.
  4. Create a career path: Help your hires advance beyond the traditional path, and reward them with job security and increased compensation.
  5. Create new rules; Tools are friends, so invest wisely: Keep all of your tools organized, and keep things in one place. Use a great CRM that will do the work for you.
  6. Different is better than “better”: Create a job description that creates a desirable outcome for both your company and the candidate.
