I've hired many salespeople in the past. The most common background for success? There isn't any. They don't have to: >Have a certain education >Been a great sportsperson >Extroverted personality (my personal favourite) They do need: >The right attitude/mindset >Prepared to face a lot of rejection >Be coachable and want to constantly improve We see great talent get passed on every day because of this. #salescareers #hiring #salestalent #sales P.S. What do you look for when hiring? 👇

There is no right or wrong time to start a career in sales. We've helped people of different backgrounds and ages. -Grads -Veterans -Ex-professional athletes Some have been: -21 -29 -35 It doesn't matter. -Speak to friends in the industry. -Speak to people on LinkedIn. -Speak to a recruiter. A sales career gave me opportunities I didn't think was possible. But it won't be given to you. You have to earn it. #sales #salescareers #sdrs #hiring P.S. Has a career in sales positively changed your life? If so, how?

Job hunting isn't easy, especially for any #SDR out there (and even more so aspiring #BDR) You have to deal with: - a bunch of rejection - no responses from places you apply or people you reach out - being turned away often with no explanation of why - a constant flow of activity to try to get hired in timely manner - the challenges life throws at you in the process Hang in there cause the grit and resolve to get an SDR role is just another reason why you'd make a good candidate. There is hope though! Best part of this space and for many xDR teams out there (or the ones ran best) is that it is collaborative, supportive, and involves a lot of team work. So feel free to reach out if you are struggling or need help, to myself, SDRs, BDR leaders, and the community out there because people are willing to help at what ever capacity they can!

Account Managers (Farmers) & Sales Managers (Hunters) When times are good, account managers are your bread and butter, they keep your customers happy, they bring in work, it's a well oiled machine, like a farm. But in a rough market and a downturn. You need hunters. Sales people who can sniff out a deal and make things happen. Two very different skillsets and a completely different competency interview process to ensure you find out which type of person you are hiring. Whats your thoughts?

When you're job hunting - whether you like it or not... People are looking for KEYWORDS. True story. When I was at HRWize, my job title was "Business Development Manager". That reads BDR leader right? Except it wasn't, I was a full cycle sales leader. Then one day, Visier came knocking to chat about their BDM role...except it was actually to lead a team of BDRs. Had a I led BDRs before? Sure. Had I strictly led a team of BDRs? Nope. But the job title got me into the conversation. If somebody was looking for a sales leader, even though that was the role I was in, if they read 'Business Development Manager', it's likely I would have gotten rejected. I'm not saying lie on your resume, however my job title at HRWize on LinkedIn might now read something a bit more accurate 😅

Sales Hiring is like Fishing series continues... The single biggest hidden costs to a mid-market P&L are bad hires and mediocre sales teams.    1. Identify your ideal target (like the Amberjack in pic).  2. Choose a lure that will attract your ideal target. (Write the ideal ad) 3. Cast the lure where your target will see it.  4. Present the lure in an attractive way that causes a genetic response.  5. Bring the target to the boat without spooking, overpowering, or under powering the retrieve. (This is Interviewing Process)  6. Check your rules and guidelines for legal or illegal size (Disqualify)  7. Onboarding must be preplanned, intentional, and thorough.    Most mid-market company leaders tend to offload sales hiring to someone who has not hired many sales positions. They use the traditional method for sales hiring, and it just doesn’t work.    Sales roles are not like any other role, so a unique sales-specific process must be utilized to effectively select, onboard, and keep GOATs, not Ghosts.    Join us next week, May 15th, for Ghost and GOATs to make your next catch picture worthy and erase the Ghost from your P&L. https://lnkd.in/dzFue_xr #saleshiring #salesleaders #ceos #hrrecruitment #salesworkshop #goodselling

In 2020, we had to take a conscious call to overlook the city and location constraints whilst hiring for Arthan. It was the best decision and we met amazing people along the way and some are having excellent careers here. A lot of people come to me and ask me what it is like working at Arthan 1. It's a journey wherein suddenly you're thrown in the deep end to problem solve constantly in your area of work. 2. it's working with various teams irrespective of levels and seniority to become a catalyst for partnerships within and outside. 3. it's also fun. Because we aren't just 'understanding and remembering' but in fact we are more often than not 'evaluating and creating'. ( Check Blooms Taxonomy to understand the pyramid and what I mean) And yes, Vartika Gupta Karan Trivedi and Shivani Chimnani and me are HIRING for a lot of open positions ( Operations, BD/Sales, Talent Acquisition, Product) and we would love to meet folks who are happy to hop on and help us create the next chapter at Arthan.
