Promote or hire?
Your best rep isn’t always your best manager.
Managing a team takes different skills from closing deals: hiring, coaching, forecasting and holding people to a standard. We look for managers who have led a team to its target, hired reps who stayed and grew, and can show how they coach.
- Team attainment, not personal attainment
- A record of hiring and keeping good reps
- Coaching and forecasting discipline

Questions
Hiring sales managers.
Should we promote our best rep to manager?
Only if they want to manage and show the signs: they already help other reps, they enjoy coaching, and they care about the team’s number as much as their own. Otherwise you may lose a top seller and gain a struggling manager.
How do you assess a sales manager?
We look at the team’s attainment under them, how many of their hires stayed and grew, how they run one-to-ones and pipeline reviews, and how accurate their forecasts were.
Can you recruit the manager and the team?
Yes. Many clients hire the manager first and then the reps, with the manager helping to choose the team.
How quickly can you fill a sales manager role?
We guarantee a placement within 45 days, and we fill roles in 29 days on average.
