It’s vital to appreciate that motivation – whether in the world of sales or not – is a<br />

complicated thing. Some people are mainly inspired by a love of clinching that big<br />

sale, while others may be more driven by a hatred of missing out on that big sale.<br />

Similarly, some achieve great results through self-pressure, whereas others may need<br />

to be pressured by others if they are to really give their best. Some are good at selfmanaging,<br />

while others are best suited to being closely managed by a superior.<br />

Understanding this intricate web of motivations that is likely to apply across your<br />

sales team is crucial if you are to not only identify and hire the best salespeople, but<br />

also extract the maximum potential from them once they are on your team. It may be<br />

one of the most important lessons to incorporate into your managed recruitment<br />

approach as we head into 2017.
