This YouTube interview excerpt (speaker: Meagan Suckling) focuses on what she looks for when hiring sales development representatives: curiosity and coachability are top priorities, along with a demonstrated history of excellence (not necessarily in sales), strong work ethic, intelligence, and a clear, compelling reason to pursue sales. She emphasizes not hiring candidates who are unsure about sales.
So I look for pretty standard things that probably a lot of sales development leaders look for. Curiosity coachability are definitely two of the top ones that I look for. Curiosity I just think is one of those things that you really can't teach. It has to be there or it's not. So it's really really key that we look for that early on. I look for a history of excellence that doesn't mean necessarily in a sales role that could just be you know know were you a star scholar in your college or university program? Have you you know set a goal for yourself and you know hit specific milestones working towards that goal and eventually achieve that goal? Little things like that. We also look for work ethic intelligence and then they need to have a really strong compelling reason why they want to be in sales. That's a really really important one important one that we never look over. I don't hire people onto my team who are unsure and.
