Most industrial sales leaders call me after things go sideways
Seat's been open for months. Revenue bleeding every week.
Your last hire flopped — hard.
You're buried in resumes, doing it yourself, burning hours you don't have.
You're not sure the right candidates are even seeing your job.
Your recruiter's sending recycled job board resumes.
The Real Problem:
You’re Stuck in a Broken Hiring Model
Contingency Recruiters throw resumes at you, chasing speed —not results.
Job Boards recycle the same 20% of active candidates everyone else has already passed on.
Internal Teams are drowning in other priorities —they’re not hunting the best, just who’s available.
Meanwhile….
The real Sales Superstars?
They’re working. Selling. Winning. And completely off your radar.
Stop wasting time, money, and credibility — book your free strategy call now.
I Don’t Recruit From Who’s Available.
I Headhunt From Who’s Winning.
Because real producers don’t apply — they have to be recruited.
Ready to recruit from the winners, not the leftovers?
Sales recruiting isn’t like hiring for anything else.
You can’t afford to get it wrong.
Sales is relentless, high-pressure, and unforgiving. You can’t judge a rep’s performance by a resume or an interview.
In industrial sales, the stakes are even higher — complex products, long sales cycles, and only a handful of real producers.
Most recruiters don’t get that. I do — because I’ve spent 15+ years finding the hunters and closers who win in high-stakes markets.

Broken Hiring Costs You More Than You Think
A Bad Sales Hire Can Cost You More Than Just Salary
The U.S. DOL says a mis-hire costs up to 30% of their annual pay. In Industrial sales, it’s worse—because bad reps don’t just miss quota. They burn leads, waste time, and damage relationships you won’t get back.
What does it really cost you?
Missed revenue.
50% of a $1.2M quota = $600k lost.
Burned leads.
Team disruption.
Brand damage.
Delayed growth.
Wasted time.
Replacement costs.
Management pressure.
By the time you clean up the mess, the total cost easily hits $750,000+
Cost of a Bad Sales Hire
And bad hires don’t just cost money.
They create stress, turnover, and risk, for your team, and you.
Every Month a Sales Seat Sits Empty, You’re Bleeding Revenue
A vacant sales role isn’t just a delay—it’s a drain on your bottom line. It slows your pipeline, pressures your team, and gives competitors room to win.
Here’s the math.
Lost revenue.
A 3 month vacancy
at 80% of a $1.2M target = $240K lost.
Burned-out team.
Lost customers
Team flight-risk
Longer ramp time.
Stalled Momentum.
Total cost of a vacant seat?
Easily $500,000.
Cost of an Empty Sales Role
A vacant seat kills momentum, drains your team, and opens the door for competitors.
