Attracting and identifying sales talent requires a demanding approach, critical assessments, and a sharp awareness of organizational priorities.
At Cight7 Group we recruit, coach and place athletes who are transitioning into a sales career or someone is already a sales professional. Our studies have shown that there are similar traits that both athletes and sales professionals possess - but they are not easily assessed by talent acquisition
teams. We find world class sales talent in individuals who are used thriving at an elite level. They are individuals who possess the inner drive to succeed, individuals who are accustomed to setting realistic achievable goals. To foster relationships at this level requires a true partnership based
on trust.
Sales is about wins; there are no ties in sales, one person is going to get the order. Athletes have been working towards goals their whole lives. They sacrifice not because it’s the easy thing to do, but because it’s the only thing to do to- win.
