Onboarding: What’s Needed to Successfully Onboard Sale-Focused Pros in Small Businesses
In the latest episode of the CPSA Recruitment and Talent podcast, Kevin W. Grossman and John Hirth discuss ways to successfully onboard new salespeople into SMBs and start-ups.
We’ll consider why employers should get salespeople off on the right foot and three things that will help them succeed, whether or not the onboarding paperwork should be completed before they start the job or during the first week and what are the advantages of completing early, why should you start immersing a new salesperson into the company culture before day one, and how should salespeople manage their learning time so they don’t lose site of closing the deals.
The guest is John Hirth, President at Selling Dynamics, L.L.C.
