Description
Attending this event will help you understand what salespeople want from their roles and organisations. This will enable you to create an environment that nurtures and accelerates their development and improves their performance. This webinar also aims to help you understand how to attract the best salespeople.
According to recent research, nearly half (46%) of sales professionals are considering quitting their jobs in 2024, which is higher than the 40% who expressed the same intention ahead of the 2021 "great resignation". (Microsoft & LinkedIn)
It is not surprising that sales leaders jump straight to financial incentives to try to keep their salespeople, but this is not enough.
Companies are competing in a candidate-led market, and they need to take note. They no longer have the luxury of picking from a list of people keen to work for them. That means they need to create a desirable culture and publicise their positive work ethic. This not only helps to attract top salespeople, but also retain existing employees.
Key takeaways
- What do your salespeople actually want?
- How do you give it to them?
- Why does this benefit you and your organisation?
