My mission as a sales executiveMISSIONPredictable, scalable revenue growthSTRATEGYIf I can…1. Hire the same type of successful sales person2. Train the sales people in the same way3. Provide each sales person with the same quantity and quality of leads4. Have the sales people work the leads using the same process5. Develop leaders to execute the process…then I will achieve my goal.

#1: Hire the same type of successful sales person

Define, Score, and Analyze Criteria4 @markroberge

Define an interview scorecard5 @markroberge

Probable success criteria/Interview questions1. Intelligent a) [Ask technical questions about the product they sell today] b) [Teach them about your product and ask them to sell it back]2. Work ethic a) How did you prepare for this interview? How many hours? b) Tell me about a typical work week?3. Prior success a) How many sales peers are at your current employer? Where do you rank? Why did you rank that high? Why did the top rep out-perform you?4. Coachable a) Have them role play selling you your product. Tell them what they did well and what they need to do better. Show them. Ask them to try it again.6 @markroberge

How do you find good sales people?  Does not work  Monster.com, Craigslist, etc.  Might work  Agencies, recruiters  Works  Networking at events and online  Passive recruiting on LinkedIn  Referrals  Taking meetings with sales people7 @markroberge

#2: Train your sales people in the same way

#2: Train your sales people in the same way What I see at many companies  Shadow a senior sales rep for 1 month  Read a 2 page sales manual HubSpot approach  Define sales playbook (unique value proposition, target customer, competition, common objections, product information, etc.)  Train sales people as consultants or experts. Give them hands on experience if possible.  Use exams and certification programs. 9 @markroberge
