Takeaways + Tactics\\xa0

• Stop relying on DISC assessments and interviews for recruitment. We can only learn 12% of what we need to know from these - not nearly enough to make an informed decision.\\xa0
• Disregard the concept of hiring slow and firing fast. In a market with a scarcity of talent, we don\\u2019t have the luxury of hiring slow - we have to hire and fire fast.\\xa0
• To maintain top talent, offer a hybrid payment model that provides some guaranteed income, as well as commission.\\xa0

At the start of this episode, we shared that good salespeople have a shared DNA- and no amount of training or mentoring can substitute for that DNA. We also explained what top sales performers have in common that average agents don\\u2019t, and pointed out flaws in the traditional recruitment process.\\xa0\\xa0

We also discussed:

• How to change our approach to interviews
• The mediums we should be using to approach top talent
• Why we can\\u2019t afford to be frugal when it comes to recruiting top performers
