When is the right time to hire a salesperson?
Thursday, March 25, 2021 | 2 PM | WEBINAR
 
Hiring someone to do sales seems like the perfect solution for the self-described “not a salesperson”. But do you truly know what you need to have in place to make that hire a success? In this 60 minute webinar, you’ll learn:
  • How to set your new hire up for success
  • How much you should invest in both time and money for the hire to pay off (yes, even if they are 100% commission)
  • When does (and does not) a 100% commission structure work
  • What to do if the hire doesn’t work out
  • How your role as a company founder will evolve after your hire
Speaker: Kim Orlesky, KO Advantage Group


We're here to help.
