Sales Management Training Tip #30: Avoid the Plug and Play

OK, you have two candidates that you really like. One knows the products, customers and the industry. The other candidate is passionate, driven and eager to prove themselves. The easy answer for a busy manager is to hire the sales rep that comes with all the experience. But have you thought about what else they bring to the table? Have you considered the infamous industry baggage?

Hire attitude over aptitude!
