We work with companies, small and large, suffering the same issues when it comes to hiring. They all have difficulty attracting, selecting and on boarding the right salesperson.

I often hear people say; God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. This fun little phrase is used to argue the point that salespeople need to listen more and talk less.
