One part of Sales Hiring
isSelecting for
Success
Let’s assume, all managers hiring salespeople, will be aiming to select suitable people in the first place.

Selection is at best 50% of
new hire success.
Selecting well, does not mean the new sales hire will succeed i.e. make their numbers, in a reasonable timeframe.

No matter how you
select new salespeople
…
One morning the new sales hire turns up with high expectations.
As many as 81% of these new hires fail.

What’s the definition of “fail”
Either the new sales hire fails outright – they leave pretty quickly, or
The new sales hires take much longer to produce revenue than expected.

We’ve on-boarded
thousands of new
salespeople
Some were new to sales. The majority had sales experience.
And this we do know …

The Standard New Hire
Roadmap is usually not
about selling
Most new sales hires do get training.
It’s usually and mainly in “product” and “systems.”
This is where new sales hiring goes wrong.

Selling needs to be on the onboarding
agenda, from Day 1.
Unless pure selling topics are introduced from day 1, selling gets relegated until later.
Selling then has then to fight its way back onto the agenda in a fog of information and detail.

The Priority
Onboarding Items
Companies that have (well) above average new sales hire success, introduce the following items, as soon as the new sales hire is available.
(The number of days / weeks per item, will vary by company and situation).

What language describes the
selling / buying process?

2. Prospectin
g
Prospecting is the 2nd item that has to be on a new sales hire Onboarding schedule
![Page 15: A Proven New Sales Hire Onboarding Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070603/5870264a1a28ab81258b475b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

It’s Your Prospecting Process
The new sales hires need to hear the language that they need to use to engage prospects for your offering

Value Proposition
New sales hires need to work with you to translate your value proposition into actionable language that can be used in a selling context.
Remember: you train in prose, but you sell in poetry!

3. Sales Messaging
New hires need to learn a language that engages and closes prospects.
Spend as much time as is needed on this topic.

me advance prospect conversations. [Science & Technology Sector]
