What is a Talent Strategy?


A talent strategy is the planning process of optimizing your recruiting and on-boarding process to maximize your company’s investment on employees.

This is extremely important in the sales environment, especially because skilled sales representatives can be so hard to find and retain.

Ultimately, the goal of an effective talent strategy is to hire effective sales members for your company and lower your overall employee attrition.

Common Issues We See


  • Companies aren’t clear what to look for in a sales member, often leading to unstructured hiring processes based more on personal preference.
  • Companies with hiring assessment tools to help them measure sales effectiveness, often don’t trust the report and still hire based on personal preference.
  • Companies have a hard time incentivizing the newer generation of sales employees. Who aren’t willing to work solely on commission.
  • Lastly, and the biggest issue we see, companies are losing highly skilled sales members due to competition or retirement and aren’t finding sales members able to replace them.
