A short coaching-video monologue by JT (Contractor Coach Pro) that poses a hiring-focused question: when recruiting salespeople, should you prioritize innate talents (natural gifts) or learned skills (teachable abilities)? JT defines ‘talents’ as internal/natural gifts and ‘skills’ as learnable, and challenges viewers to consider which to prioritize.
Hey everyone, it's JT from Contractor Coach Pro coming at you with another coaching moment. But you know what, it's more of a question. I just want to challenge you to consider something when you're thinking about bringing on salespeople to your team, who are you looking for and then what? What talents and or skills should they have? What talents and skills are you looking for? Are you looking for talents or are you looking for skills? Let's understand the difference between the two talents, right? These are just internal, these are just natural things that I'm gifted at that I bring to the table, alright? And skills are things that I can learn, they can be taught, right? So we need to understand that there are talents and there are skills that exemplify a strong salesperson. What could potentially be a strong salesperson but what are you looking for and which one do you prioritize and why? That's the question that I want to challenge you with.
