Great article – I am always led by the line that say ‘Hire on Skills – Fire on Attitude’ because it is so true. I personally always seek to find sales people who are curious, coachable and are able to demonstrate diversity in their thinking whilst having a very pragmatic and practical approach to providing a meaningful solution. The one thing I screen heavily for is people who are out of touch with the reality of a situation. Past experience has taught me that this is a key issue when driving sales performance.
