If you are a technology company who could use help learning how to better screen sales management or sales staff candidates or if you are struggling to achieve your revenue targets because you have sales representatives who are under performing. A prominent Industry Analyst estimates that fifty percent of enterprise sales representatives fail to achieve their quotas each year. It’s not just small companies either. A leading software company has an annual sales attrition rate of nearly 40%. We believe sales performance issues result from one or more of four problems; flawed marketing strategy, a mismatch between the employees skills and experience relative to their job assignment, poor sales execution, or incompetent sales skills. Resolution can be achieved by attracting new talent as well as gaining an objective assessment of your existing human capital, making sure assignments are staffed with the right level of experience, and taking a more disciplined approach to sales staffing. G2’s Human Capital Assessment services will provide you with an objective perspective on your sales staff and candidates to increase your odds for achieving success.
