Retaining 10s

"Can I approach your senior sales manager to discuss a job opportunity?" a friend asked.

Most sales leaders are lucky if they don't lose 50% of their newly hired sales managers within the first 2 years.

To all bosses I say this: It is much easier and far less costly to hire well-qualified and self motivated individuals rather than to train them and motivate mediocre ones who were mistakenly hired or inherited from the predecessor.
