Of course, my clients always wish they had more of this type of person on their staff. We've found that this so-called "x-factor" has proven exponentially more important with regard to sales managers, too.
Since back when I was an ad director with 20 ad reps, I've wondered exactly what's behind this x-factor and can it be quantified? Can it be leveraged to build great sales teams?
Last year, I worked with a newspaper who had a staff full of these hunters and claimed they found a process to clearly identify the factors that make the difference.
Last year, I worked with a newspaper who had a staff full of these hunters and claimed they found a process to clearly identify the factors that make the difference.
They had been working with a guy named Tony Traven with Culture Index who had developed a process to identify which of the people they were considering for an interview were these hunters, and even which of those would specifically succeed with the Response Oriented Selling techniques.
I was skeptical, but given the impressive ad staff my newspaper client had, I gave Tony a call.
I was skeptical, but given the impressive ad staff my newspaper client had, I gave Tony a call.
To prove that his techniques worked, he first offered to do a profile of me (and it turns out I'm a hunter, too). He gave me all sorts of insight about myself, how I could capitalize on my strengths to boost my productivity, what responsibilities I shouldn't be handling, and even how to recognize which newspapers who call me would do best using my techniques. I was amazed at how much he helped me in so little time.
He also offered--and this is where you and your staff come in--a complimentary analysis and feedback directly to any client newspaper or sales organization, even if they've never worked with me. In addition, he predicted he could clearly delineate between hunters and farmers and show you a better way to identify, manage and develop top-tier talent.
Some of my clients have taken him up on his offer already and it's transformed their organizations. If you want put this process to the test, click on the link below. Then forward it the link to your staff as well with a message the reads:
