5. Characteristics of the old sales hiring paradigm
• Sales resources operate in silos. There is not an incentive or a culture for winning as
a sales team.
• The typical sales resource brings 2-3 relationships to the new role but once these are
exhausted they need significant support to be successful.
• Individual sales resources typically possess a single skill
• Great hunter but not capable of running a deal
• Great deal leader but not capable of hunting
• Great sales manager but not good hunting or running a deal
• Strong technical skill but doesn’t have true core sales skills
• These varying skills creates significant challenges in trying to close business now
• Productivity of sales resources is typically 50% at best
