-@seyedele, Co-founder and CEO of @GetPaidHR on how to identify salespeople who can thrive even without prior knowledge or experience in a new field:
“You don’t need long answers, what matters is seeing how someone thinks on their feet, especially when they’re in unfamiliar territory. For example, I don’t know how to build workspaces for remote workers, but if you have the conviction to collaborate, I want to see how you come up with solutions calmly and quickly.
That mindset means when they join your team, they can absorb knowledge fast. In sales, intuition is key, it helps you pivot between different product features until you find what works for the client.
