The first 30 days of a sales rep are some of the most overloaded but important weeks of their career at your company. The average sales rep takes 3 months to ramp up and nearly 10 months before they are profitable with the company. With average tenures being less than 18 months, that means you have only about 8 months of productive selling time with reps.
This is a big problem for organizations especially when you consider a bad sales hire costs a company up to 70% of the seller's annual revenue goals. To solve this companies need to speed up their rep’s time to value by moving them faster through the onboarding process and putting practices in place to help them retain and enact sales strategies more consistently.
In today’s episode, viewers will learn about:
- How to provide a more engaging onboarding experience instead of just throwing reps into hours of Zoom calls accompanied by pages of documentation.
- The metrics behind onboarding and speed to value of a rep's quota and the effect it has on the business unit.
- What a great onboarding plan looks like and the mindset to instill in a rep during that process.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
