You can't move forward in your organization if you don't have the right people on the team.

Talking Points:

  • Hire differently for each position. You don’t want to hire a salesperson for a manager’s position, and vice versa.
  • When hiring for sales, look for someone who has something to prove, has a positive attitude, and who has a great work ethic. Looking for these traits will help to ensure that you’re hiring the best salesperson possible.
  • When hiring for a managerial position, it’s important to look for someone who is loyal, has a positive attitude, and is organized. These things are all marks of a great manager.
