  • Seven Sales Hiring Mistakes

    25 Jan 2012 12:20 | JHRS (Administrator)

    Sales leaders face the unique challenge of hiring reps who have personalities, interests and behaviors that align with the needs of a specific sales job. In a job interview situation, you can expect a candidate to do their best to “sell” you on why they should be considered for a position. Usually only a highly trained and experienced interviewer can determine if the candidate is truly cut out for the job and has the potential to succeed. However, far too few sales hiring managers possess this expertise and there are simply too many sales hiring mistakes. These mistakes are costly and highly disruptive to the rhythm of a high producing sales team.

    As a result, we sought to identify the top sales hiring mistakes and identified some best practices to help our clients avoid these pitfalls. We conducted comprehensive research that asked managers about their top sales hiring mistakes. This report seeks to better understand these mistakes and offers solutions to avoid making them in your company.

    Given the importance of hiring the right sales employees, our study had three objectives:

    • Identify the common hiring mistakes for sales organizations.
    • Uncover the sources of challenges companies face when making sales hiring decisions.
    • Explain how sales companies can avoid making common mistakes when hiring new employees.

    Recently, Profiles International conducted a survey entitled, “The Leader’s Guide to Motivating Without Money.” This survey addresses an important issue facing many organizations in motivating employees in ways other than through payroll.

    • Identify the prevalence of employee motivation in the workplace and how it can influence an organization and its employees.
    • Uncover the sources of challenges companies face when trying to stimulate employee productivity.

  • Training and Developing Employees to Succeed

    25 Jan 2012 12:09 | JHRS (Administrator)

    Skills trainingis measured by how well the participants apply the newly learned skills when they return to their jobs. Although training technologies have effectively improved the quantity and quality of skills learned in training, disappointingly few skills are actually implemented on the job.

    What can managers and trainers do to ensure that the employees apply the skills they learn in training?

    To ensure that trainees apply new skills on the job, managers and trainers must enforce these learned skills before, during, and after training. In doing so, managers ensure that the proper skills are in place In this report we will address how to develop your staff training and development program.

    Training and development should be continual, so we will focus on :

    • Preparing a training and development program
    • Conducting the training and development program
    • Maintaining a training and development culture
