Does this sound familiar?- They look good
- Their resume looks good
- They interview very well
- They know the product and the industry
- They've (supposedly) sold in the past
You Hire Them, Train Them, Pay Them but... Not Much Happens! No Pipeline... No Sales... only excuses!
If you knew then what you know now...
- That they had call reluctance
- That they were uncomfortable discussing money with prospects
- That they were a farmer when you needed a hunter
- That they needed the prospect to like them
- That thier base was their comfort zone
- That they had a debilitating collection of self-limiting beliefs
...Would you have hired them?
Here's a typical example of OUT OF POCKET COST
- If you spent $4,000 in advertising
- And you interviewed 4 people for the position
- And you spent 2 hours of executive time interviewing each
- And the staff spent 5 hours in processing and on-boarding
- And you spent one month and $10,000 training them
- And you spent 2 hours each week coaching them
- And you paid them a $6,000 monthly draw
- And it cost you $3,000 per month in benefits, auto and expenses
- And they left after 5 months
Your out of pocket cost is $61,290.
Add to this the OPPORTUNITY COST
If they were in a $1,000,000 territory with one month of ramp up and a 3 month sales cycle chances are they never found and closed a deal on their own.
5 months of non-production cost you lost sales of $416,667
Why spend six months of your time and tens of thousands of your dollars to find out what you could have known before you hired them?
