TRANSFORMING MOMENTS

COLLIN: HAVE A PROCESS AND DON’T RUSH IT

“The number one thing there that I'll say is, you can't rush that process. Number one, you need to have a process in place, and two, you can't rush it. I think that's where a lot of people make a lot of mistakes because they're like, ‘we need to get here with the business in a timeline of yesterday, and that means we need to hire people.’ and they skip crucial steps in the hiring process.”

SCOTT: WHEN DO YOU START HIRING SALES-RELATED TALENT?

“You got to run that process, you got to figure out what's out there, and as you said, I've been a sales manager, or sales leader, or head of sales, and I can't tell you how many people that even after the best vetting and interview process, three months in, I'm putting them on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan). It's just like ‘where did I miss here?’ It's hard, and you have to be willing to put in the time, the effort, and the patience because if you don't, that's where those hires become even more expensive to you.”
