Meatloaf once sang a song with the lyrics, “I want you. I need you. But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you. But don’t be sad, cause two out of three ain’t bad.”
Finding a successful salesperson is part luck, part timing, and part knowing what you’re looking for. You can’t have perfect. You won’t find perfect. You want the right personality, the right level of experience, and, perhaps, the right level of technical skills. If that’s the case, get used to hearing Meatloaf’s song in your head as you go through the hiring process.
