About this episode
Few business challenges are more painful than hiring a salesperson who interviews well but fails to deliver. A poor producer can cost your company six to seven figures annually in salary, training, lost customers, and missed opportunities. While most sales leaders say they want reps with "fire in the belly," few know how to identify it reliably. In this episode, we reveal the proven, scientific formula: the three non-teachable traits that define top Hunter salespeople. You'll learn how to spot these traits in your candidates before hiring — so you can build a team of true producers, not pretenders.
So, pay heed as Scott and I welcome author and researcher Dr. Chris Croner to reveal how you will Never Hire a Bad Salesperson Again on Episode 693 of the Winning at Selling podcast.
