They Couldn't All Be Bad

I spoke with a manager who was attempting to solve a huge turnover problem - more than 100% annually. While our sales specific pre-employment assessment will be a huge help, redesigning their recruiting process will help even more. My biggest concern is whether their team of sales managers are capable of developing and retaining quality salespeople. As I was told on the phone: 'We hired thousands of salespeople. They couldn't all be bad, could they?'

Sounds to me like they ought to scrap the sales recruiting effort and hire a new team of sales managers!

I know you know . . . the manager may well be the problem. This is a top down mess.
