If you are or have been a Sales Manager, where do/did you get your best salespeople from? Newspaper ads, internet ads, referrals, something else, what?

There`s no right answer to your question. I was a sales manager for several different industries, before anyone ever heard of the internet. My best hires were generally referred to me by my best salespeople. That`s because generally speaking, good salespeople know other good salespeople. That being said, we also had success hiring from newspaper ads. So I guess the answer to your question is, good salespeople can be found everywhere.

Dale, thank you for the response. I know good sales people can be found everywhere and it was not a post to learn where I should go place my next ad, more just curious to see peoples answers as hear different things from different people. That all being said, GOOD Salespeople are HARD to find!

Without a doubt your best source is from client or employee referals! Don`t let anyone tell you different. You can find great employees in many places but I have consistently seen the best results from referals.
