Finding, staffing and retaining successful technology sales professionals is no easy task. A prominent Industry Analyst estimates that fifty percent of enterprise sales representatives fail to achieve their quotas each year. One of the largest software companies in the world has an annual attrition rate of nearly 40% in their sales organization. Technology companies spend a significant amount of time trying to fill sales positions and often get behind on their revenue plans due to staffing delays. Unfortunately, sales recruiting efforts often result in a mismatch between the employee’s skills & prior experience and the requirements of their new job assignment. Since most traditional recruiters have never worked in a technology sales organization, candidate screening is performed at a general level and candidates are recommended for positions they are unlikely to succeed in. An example of this issue is when a candidate whose prior work experience is limited to only large technology vendors yet is placed in an early stage company.
