Sales Team Hiring and Interviewing

Becoming a beacon for talent is the most essential trait you can have as a leader. There is little you can’t do when you have a team of high-performing A+ players. Building this team starts with a well-structured hiring and interview process. Unfortunately, hiring and interviewing is often an afterthought, wedged in-between other meetings and taken on as an extra task.

This 3-week course will help you learn how to identify, assess, and win the best sales talent out there. Students will learn about building a hiring scorecard, assessing intrinsic characteristics, creating an excellent interview experience for candidates, and more.
