Hiring Good Salespeople
Customers and markets have changed, competition has intensified and products rapidly become commoditised. Consequently salespeople who are no more effective than a product catalogue will be replaced by a new breed of professionals who have a new focus: Demand creation, philosophical alignement, in-depth understanding of their customers' businesses, positioning, executive credibility and the delivery of value. Consequently sales forces and their HR departments will have to use "best of breed" tools and processes for consistently recruiting genuine sales talent.
Recruiting Sales Talent Major HR Challenge
Worldwide companies are dreadfully inept at consistently hiring the right kind of sales talent for the right jobs. There's a higher level of failure and personnel churn in sales than in any other business function. Research indicates that hiring accuracy runs anywhere between 35% and 55%, depending on the sales role. Jobs such as outbound telesales and commission only life assurance sales are particularly problematic. Using the best possible tools greater than 90% hiring accuracy is quite achievable.

RAMP UP YOUR BRAND - SLEDGEHAMMERS AND SERVICE BRAND PREFERENCE
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Swing the Hammer Imagine the strongman game at the carnival. You lift the sledgehammer over your head and swing it down onto the platform. When it strikes the target, a metal cylinder rises up and up—20 feet up the pole until it rings the bell. On its way down the pole the cylinder passes the same words it passed on the way up: strongman, tough guy, athlete, junior, and weakling. In a way, establishing a services brand follows a similar process. You swing the hammer (your marketing tactics, the marketing mix you employ, and the quality of your company's services) and the strength of your efforts determine whether or not your brand moves up the pole and makes it to the top to ring the bell. The question is, “What stages must your brand pass through in order to ring the bell?”

So, whether we’re facing health issues, the bank manager, a hungry tiger or an uncertain tomorrow, we only become powerless when we surrender our power.
