Veterans make great sales people - we have the proof!

DateSaturday, March 17, 2007 at 06:52PM

We authored a white paper titled, Forward...Sell.  The white paper was written to describe the results of a study by the HR Chally Group and PhDs from Wright State University.  I always knew that there was something about military service that caused one to develop the skills necessary to be great in a sales role - but I had no proof. 

After reading this white paper, you will see we have statistical proof that, on a number of scales that are predictive of success in sales, veterans do indeed make great sales profeesionals!

Companies across a broad spectrum of industries specifically recruit military veterans to fill sales positions.  If you are a veteran, please read the white paper and use it during your next sales interview.  If you are an employer, consider hiring a veteran for your next sales position - you won't be sorry.  I read quite a few blogs - here is a blog titled "Quit Whining and Get 'Er Done" - it is a quick read and has a few great military anecdotes in the entry linked.
