Assessing Core Sales Skills in the Hiring Process

Exploring New Options for Infusing More Objectivity and Science Into the Hiring of B2B Salespeople

As important as salespeople are to a company's financial performance, they are often hired somewhat "blindly" based on first impressions, intuition, and gut-feel. But this a massive risk that just isn’t necessary in today’s internet-enabled world. In this guide, you will learn about:

  • Four ways that incompetent salespeople can damage your company, beyond just missing the numbers.
  • Two business dynamics that can make it easy for incompetent salespeople to "hide" for a very long time.
  • The results of a benchmarking study that exposes just how many salespeople are lacking core selling skills.
  • How online sales skills assessments now make it possible for anyone to use objective criteria when hiring salespeople.

This guide is just one of hundreds of educational resources you get access to as a SellingBrew Playbook subscriber.
