Why I Kinda Like It

Because at midnight I was making name tags in my office, madly rocking out to Savage Republic. At 6:30 AM, I was in a sport coat and khakis, laughing with my colleagues as we did the last minute thing before an in house job fair. Because they let me innovate (goal was 50 attendees, got in 60+, high percent we’ll bring back in for formal interviews – so high quantity & quality, ultimate combo – total ad spend: $37.02).  Because 3 hours after the event, we were drinking beer & (really high end) Scotch to celebrate a new beta. Because one of our work family just survived cancer in an “ahem” uncomfortable area – so, what did we do? Got him a cake for the party.  Decorated with pairs of little soccer balls.  Because everyone here can take a joke.

Sales Hiring

This is a quick nod to one of my favorite blogs (okay, so it’s the ZoomInfo blog, but I still like it – and, no, I don’t write it.  Which is a good thing for our company – I tend to “ahem” write cheeky).

In any event: good post on why sales execs need to get more scientific in their approach to hiring. Ironically, there’s a tendency among sales hiring authorities to hire “on gut” – this despite how measured every sales person is once they start with an organization.  Gut doesn’t equal measure.
