Hiring the wrong salesperson is expensive!

Adaptive Business Services is a Authorized Partner for Maximum Potential. What leads us to this association? I have been in B2B sales and management since 1977. For over 30 of those years, I served in a variety of positions (including ownership) which required me to find and train new salespeople. I managed to pick a few winners but, overwhelmingly, I missed the mark in my choices. While they looked great on paper …

  • They couldn’t sell
  • They wouldn’t work
  • I could not figure out how to motivate them
  • They had poor work habits and skills
  • Their values did not match mine or that of our organization

When somebody did not make it, and not counting my time or the time of others in our organization, this always resulted in the loss of several thousands of dollars in wasted expenses. How much time and money does it take for you to find, hire, and train a new salesperson? Really think about that. Speaking for myself, through the years, I burned through a butt-load of both! I am no stranger to DISC assessment systems and while I have thought about DISC through the years, as fate would have it, I was introduced to a company who really gets it right!
