We come across companies where more than 50% of new sales reps are let go within the first year. This represents an enormous waste in terms of hiring and management effort as well as lost sales opportunity. Properly training and developing new sales hires, even senior sales executives, addresses many of the challenges which cause new sales hires to fail, but also exponentially increases the chances that they will be successful, quickly which is of paramount importance in highly competitive markets.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Salz\u2019s post here: <a href=\"https:\/\/salesarchitects.net\/salesdet.php?aid=219\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"9 Results You Can Expect From Sales Onboarding\">9 Results You Can Expect From Sales Onboarding<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also check out Peak\u2019s guide to onboarding new new sales people, <a href=\"\/sales-resources\/new-sales-rep-onboarding-guide\/\" title=\"The First 90 Days \u2013 Your Guide to Making New Sales Hires Produce Fast \">The First 90 Days \u2013 Your Guide to Making New Sales Hires Produce Fast <\/a><\/p>\n<p> relpost-thumb-wrapper <\/p>\n<div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><\/p>\n<div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\">\n<h3>Related posts<\/h3>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- relpost-block-container --><\/p>\n<div class=\"relpost-block-container\"><a class=\"relpost-block-single\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksalesrecruiting.com\/blog\/compensation-planning\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\" style=\"width: 150px;
