by Alice Heiman on May 13, 2011

When you hire a salesperson, how do you know if they’re a world class networker?

So many companies hire salespeople and quickly become disappointed in their performance.  In his article, Is Your Sales Candidate a Great Networker? Barry Deutsch of Impact Hiring explains:

The ability to network masterfully and obtain great leads and opportunities is an important element of selling success in your industry. How would you measure networking mastery in a potential sales candidate? Read on…

Networking does not come naturally to most people. It’s a skill that people must learn and practice to become successful.

Post your comments on your networking challenges and successes!
