    Selecting and Hiring Sales Professionals   

    Choosing the wrong salesperson could cost your company between $400,000 and $800,000!

    It's true. You know you made a bad choice somewhere between the fourth and sixth month. By the time they are replaced, their salary, benefits and lost business can add up to well over half a million dollars.

    Ask yourself the following questions.

    • Do any of your current salespeople look like "deer caught in the headlights?" Not sure what to do? Afraid to pick-up the phone and call new prospects?
    • Have you hired a salesperson that can't differentiate your company from the competition, and therefore consistently lower the price to get the business?
    • Are all of your salespeople superstars? Why not?
    • When hiring salespeople do you rely on your gut instincts to make a decision, only to realize that the "hunter" you thought you hired was really a "farmer?"
    • Do you discover hidden weaknesses, negative attitudes and beliefs, and inconsistent behaviors after you have hired a salesperson? Are these traits neutralizing your salespeople's skills and strengths?

    If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you're probably losing hundreds of thousands of dollars employing the wrong salespeople.

    Hiring a sales manager is equally challenging. Does your sales manager…

    • take responsibility for underachievers?

    • know how to manage salespeople's behavior?

    • coach and bring out the best in their people?

    • hold their people accountable?

    • replace ineffective salespeople?

    • effectively strategize and debrief a sales call?

    Achievex Corporation can help you hire the right salesperson or sales manager. We provide you with powerful hiring tools to help you make the right choice:

    • Sales candidate screening tool helps determine if the candidate has the appropriate attitude, behavior, experience and skill set to sell the company’s products or services, fits into the company culture and is comfortable selling in the marketplace
    • Extended DISC personal analysis tool
    • The Devine Inventory, a proprietary customized behavioral and competency assessment tool that increases performance. It predicts the success of individuals, teams and entire organizations. It can be customized to reflect a company's unique culture and job requirements.
