Getting a right sales person are always a great challenge to sales leaders. I would rather recruitment someone fresh and groom from there. Otherwise when the situation requires me to look for experience ones, I look at the numbers.
Candidates can lie during interview, but not numbers, look at the income they are making, look at their closing ratio and look at their productivity, it gives you a good indicator about the candidate.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
