SALES RECRUITMENT | HOW TO FIND & HIRE THE RIGHT SALES PERSON

What do you need to do before you start your sales recruitment and hire a salesperson for your agency? How can you find the right salesperson? How can you tell if your new salesperson is making excuses or full of sh*t?

Listen in as I go over advice with one of my Facebook followers randomly selected for a quick advising session...

Jeff asked... "How can I find the right salesperson for my agency? I've talked to lead generation appointment setters but they don't seem like the right fit."

DO NOT use appointment setters. You need someone who is dedicated to achieving results for your agency. You want to find and hire someone who is a "Hunter" and have their main job be selling the Foot in the Door offer. Then, this salesperson should come in to close the bigger deals. As the Agency CEO, your job is to assist sales ~ not do all the sales. Your salesperson needs to be doing the research and bring the opportunities in to you.

When you're in the interview process, ask them if they can hit specific results. Look for the candidates who can come up with a plan to achieve success. When you have someone who would be a good fit with your agency, ask them to come up with a plan for their first 90-days on the job. Give them some time to come up with their plan and have them come back to present it to you.

You'll know you have found the right person to work with your agency when they come up with the right plan to attack the right prospects and get your ideal clients working with your agency in their first 90-days.

What questions do you have about starting, running, growing or selling a digital agency? Comment below and maybe we'll feature you on a future episode.

Hi Jason, I hired people based on personality traits, of course speciality mattered like a sales person, but what mattered more is hiring the right person and teach them your selling process. What also mattered continuous training and following up. So I say hire people that are smarter than you, train them, then let them run. I started a couple of companies from the ground up and this worked for me.

If you cannot afford to hire a salesperson right now, but really need to grow your agency, is it wise to just find the money to do it anyways, whether it's from savings, a loan, etc? I don't know any sales people who work for 100% commission when it takes time for a new client to sign on the dotted line. Thoughts?
