According to LinkedIn, the average turnover within B2B sales is 34%. This high of a turnover rate can be financially crippling, requiring not only the costs of wasted training and acquiring a replacement, but also a continued loss in revenue.
In addition to consistent issues with turnover, hiring top sales performers is a reoccurring issue within sales departments. In fact, it’s commonly known that 50% of all sales hires don’t work out and leave within 12 months. The easiest way for sales leaders to overachieve on revenue targets is to fix this failing metric and to get the right people in the right seats…quickly.
"As a CRO, hitting our revenue targets is always top of mind. Within three months of implementing Pillar, we’ve reduced our failed rate of hiring by 50%, ensuring we don’t miss out on our aggressive sales quotas." - Chief Revenue Officer
