Don’t Lose Money on Bad Sales Reps

A career in sales is not easy. It takes perseverance, patience, and motivation. These are qualities that the average person is not always born with, but rather develops after experience in the field. There are some exceptions to this school of thought, and some people can truly be trained by your existing staff to be great sales professionals. If you are looking to hire sales reps for your company, consider looking for people who have a proven record of sales expertise, or exhibit solid potential to improve your company’s success. In most American sales situations, only about 60 percent of sales professionals meet their quota, about 22 percent cannot be trained, and even less result in a return of investment.
