Spoke to 100 sales reps
I recently spoke to 100+ Sales Reps at an event in Austin, TX.
The #1 thing I learned:
Great sales reps are more than just extroverts who like to talk.
One of the biggest challenges our clients face is hiring good sales people.
I asked the best Sales trainers and Agency owners in the building:
“How do you find the diamonds in the rough?”
Their most common answers:
Former Athletes and Former Military make some of the top 1% sales reps
Reps who have their back against the wall (it HAS to work) almost always succeed
Fast learners and self-starters. People who don’t need to micromanaged to get their job done
I also gave a pretty cool panel discussing organic content and the Sales+Marketing feedback loop.

Hope this helps!
