It Is Best To Hire Candidates With The Right Attitude

GROOM YOUR OWN SALES TEAM

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.
