When it comes to sales force development, Gil Cargill says "hire slowly and you'll be safe".

According to studies published by organizations such as The Wall Street Journal, it costs a sales-based company as much as $150,000 to make a mistake while hiring a sales representative.

As 2007 comes to a close, many companies are gearing up to hire additional salespeople. Current laws and lack of interviewing experience put most sales managers, business owners and executives at a disadvantage. Ironically, the worst salespeople are the best interviewers, because they have had more experience interviewing than most managers.

During this one-hour presentation, you will learn how to:

• Avoid the common hiring mistakes so many managers make
• Recruit proactive, aggressive and professional "sales hunters"
• Implement Cargill's proven Sales Simulation Interviewing technique for attracting the type of salesperson that can help grow your organization's top line quickly and consistently
• Quickly and efficiently separate the "pretenders" from the "real deal"
• And much more...
