Sales has a turnover problem. In the U.S., the turnover of salespeople averages around 34.7%. A moderate amount of turnover is healthy—but when the rate nears 35%, organizations face significant financial repercussions both in lost revenue, but also in cost to hire.
In a high pressure, competitive market where landing new prospects and retaining customers mean everything, you can’t afford to mis-hire. So how do you find a candidate that will not only be a top performer, a cultural add, and also be willing to be held accountable?
In this presentation, Kristie Jones, Founder of Sales Acceleration Group, is joined by Amy Volas, CEO of Avenue Talent Partners to reveal a proven, comprehensive process for hiring high performing salespeople--from attracting the right candidates, to vetting and assessing skills, to creating a culture of accountability that ensures retention and strong employee-leader relationships.
