About Recruit and Develop a High-Performing Sales Team Conference

The Pareto principle states that 80 percent of your sales revenue comes from your top 20 percent of sales reps (commonly known as the 80/20 rule). Meanwhile, Peaksalesrecruiting.com reports that 55 percent of people earning their living in sales should be doing something else. At the 2014 Recruit and Develop a High-Performing Sales Team event we will discuss how to fix this mismatch and increase your high performing 20 percent to create a powerhouse sales force within your organization.

What are the costs of a wrong sales rep hire? Among other things, six months of salary and benefits, recruiting and training costs, and loss of market share/revenue from sales that were not made.

Proven top sales performers don’t apply on company websites, online job ads, or career sites. They’re most likely already employed elsewhere and are doing well.

High potential sales performers could be working in a different field, in a different industry, or already in your company waiting to be identified.

What is your organization’s overall strategy for recruiting sales talent? Is it to recruit top sales talent from other organizations, to build and develop your own sales talent, or a combination of both? The Harvard Business Review found that top salespeople possess the following traits: 100 percent responsibility for their individual results, an above-average ambition and desire to succeed, above-average willpower and determination (where self-discipline is key), an intensely goal-oriented personality, high levels of customer empathy and impeccable honesty, does not take “rejection” personally, and the ability to approach strangers even when it is uncomfortable. Interestingly enough, “previous sales experience” is not listed.

We will discuss through case-study presentations:

•Assessment and selection: What separates the high achievers from the mediocrity of the masses and what skills to recruit for.

•Interviewing: How to determine
