Description

You’ve heard the quote, “Nothing happens until somebody sells something.” Salespeople are the lifeblood of any B2B company. They are the Olympians of the corporate world, the astronauts of business. And like other elite athletes, dancers, and musicians, not everyone can do what they do.

This is why hiring great salespeople is one of the most important decisions a B2B company makes. Yet, most hiring processes are no better than a coin flip. Despite their critical role in revenue generation, too many companies still rely on gut instinct and outdated interviews – methods that predict success less than 50% of the time.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us for a high-impact, no-fluff panel discussion where top experts will reveal what actually works in sales hiring, so you can stop guessing and start building a high-performing team.

Meet Your Expert Panel:
  • Mike Kunkle – Internationally recognized sales enablement expert and panel host
  • Andy Miller – CEO of Big Swift Kick and author of The Science of Hiring Quota-Busting Sales Teams
  • Ben Tagoe – CEO of Objective Management Group, the leading sales assessment provider.

What You’ll Leave With:
  • The biggest hiring mistakes and how to avoid them
  • The science behind identifying top-performing sales talent
  • Proven strategies to improve hiring accuracy and ramp speed
  • Actionable takeaways you can implement immediately

If you’re ready to hire smarter, reduce turnover, and build a team of sales rockstars, this is a must-attend event.
