YOUR STORY
Sales hiring is challenging.
First-time sales candidates are only available seasonally, post-
graduation from colleges and universities. This makes hiring off-season, challenging, and open headcount almost impossible to find
Some sobering statistics:
25%
The average turnover for a sales team of 10 with the majority of exits occurring off-cycle and without warning.

company's gap to goal from attrition.
90%
The average number of days that an open sales position remains
vacant.
$850K
On a sales team of 10 people with a quota of $50k/mo. this
translates to an impact of well over $850k per year.
To gain a competitive edge, your organization requires a different
approach to identifying non-traditional sources of high-potential sales talent.
This requires sourcing "pre-vetted" candidates from a different talent
pool.
But how do you identify those who are most likely to succeed?
THEIR STORY
Every year, 250,000 veterans separate the Armed Services.
More than ½ are under 25, only 3% have college degrees and 75%
separate active duty with no job.
Although military members with specialized training find roles, those
who do will have 5 jobs in their next 3 years.
The bridge from military life, military skills and military discipline to
civilian life requires a transition. A boot camp. An indoctrination.
And that's exactly what we provide at Sales Platoon - with a focus on
leveraging and translating highly skilled, resilient, dedicated, adaptive
and disciplined men and women from active duty to a career that
aligns well. A career in sales.

Our Story
_e.jpg){kind=spacer}
Transitioning Military Experience to
World Class Sales Results
Our veterans have the ability to quickly learn new methodologies, execute in a
controlled environment, overcome adversity, adapt, improvise and overcome
obstacles with minimal supervision and resources while embedded within diverse
teams.
Since sales is one of the few professions where 90% of the time people say no
and the other10% still means success, this further de-risks the risk of attrition due to
adversity.
Veterans lack the experience to translate their military experience into the civilian
world and the civilian world that struggles do to leverage their strengths.
That's where we come in.

SELECTION & ASSESSMENT
Right Team, Right Talent
Leveraging our deep connections within the military
community, we source high-potential candidates using our
proprietary core selection criteria. This rigorous process
only accepts 1 of 5 applicants.
Prior to placement with an organization, we utilize our
proprietary sales inspection process, to identify the
specific type of rep that your organization needs - and
then design our pre-onboarding accordingly.
EDUCATION AND REMENDIATION
Right Talent. Right Skills.
Based upon the unique needs of your organization, we
utilize our unique boot camp process to teach the critical
skills, sales fundamentals and behaviors required for
success. Our process provides both tactical and strategic
training to transform high-potential military veterans into
highly qualified, pre-trained, sales professionals.
PLACEMENT
Right Skills. Right Team.
With your organization's mission always in mind we
create a custom roadmap and onboarding plan for each
candidate - creating role clarity and a training plan for
the individual, customized to your business. Having led
sales teams for over 20 years, our founder knows what
reps need to know to hit the ground running and he
makes sure the training is practical and actionable
and that you see value from day 1.
