Hey Walter,
Great story! I'm interested in your comment about sales people are born, not taught. I personally think I'm a hopeless sales person. I'm good at public speaking, and I'm good at managing groups of people, but I think it's the repetition of sales work that drives me up the wall.
I'm currently trying to hire sales people for my business. We're selling LED lighting for industrial buildings. I've been biting the bullet and doing the sales myself to figure out the scripts and pitches and we've had a positive response so far but I'm now starting to train people. At this stage in the business everyone is paid on commission, so it's a bit of a tough sell but I've got a couple of people excited about being part of a growing startup company. Do you have any suggestions about where to find good sales staff and how to go about training them?
