Make Hiring a Choice, Not a Need
Even if you have all the ingredients to ensure a successful hire, the biggest mistake employers make is hiring from need rather than hiring from choice. In other words, if you are in a position where you desperately need a salesperson and you're looking for a quick fix, there's a strong chance that you are going to force the process.
Whether you are engaging in crisis management tactics because your top salesperson left, you have more leads than you can handle or you simply can't take on the added responsibility that comes with hiring a salesperson, taking shortcuts and omitting the necessary steps in the hiring process may compromise your staffing objectives as well as your standards of professionalism and excellence.
As such, you may hire a salesperson that in your heart you know is not the best candidate for the position. Then to your surprise, your new salesperson is gone two months (or weeks) later.
Tip from the Sales Coach:
Ironically, whatever you compromise in your hiring process will actually become the reason why you fire them or why that salesperson quits. Listen to your instincts and realize there are no shortcuts in the hiring process.
Take your life and career to the next level.
