Summary:
When hiring sales reps for an early-stage startup, it's important to look beyond outward presentation and impressive resumes. The guest emphasizes the need to read between the lines and spot warning signs during the interview process. They highlight several red flags to watch out for, including lack of preparation, inability to discuss past performance, excessive focus on compensation, and a lack of team player mentality. The guest also emphasizes the importance of hiring candidates who can handle rejection and demonstrate resilience. They stress the need for a systematic and standardized hiring process to ensure better outcomes.
Take Aways:
- Look for candidates who demonstrate intellectual curiosity and have prepared for the interview.
- Pay attention to how candidates discuss their past performance and their ability to take ownership of both successes and failures.
- Beware of candidates who are solely motivated by compensation and don't prioritize mission and vision alignment.
- Hire team players who demonstrate coachability and good listening skills.
- Assess candidates' ability to handle rejection and their level of resilience.
