It Is Best To Hire Candidates With The Right Attitude

GROOM YOUR OWN SALES TEAM

Hiring good sales people is a big pain area for most companies. The solution lies in grooming your own sales team as ready made human resource is not available in the market. Even if good sales people are available they often come at an exorbitant price. Many businesses make the mistake of hiring from the competitors, this at times can backfire by creating severe retention issues at a later stage. The problems get aggravated with the fact that total cost of  hiring goes up on account of additional costs incurred on training and development. Even after incurring such heavy cost the retention remains a big challenge due to cultural mismatch of hired candidates with the hiring organization. Therefore it is best to hire candidates with the right attitude and groom them into sales professionals that gel well with the culture of your organization.
