Episode 1: The Hiring Myths That Keep Sales Teams Stuck
In this premiere episode of Closing Conversations, Max Notis sits down with Chris Brady, Betty Bungard, and Emily Botero from Sage’s GTM team to dissect one of the most important—and most misunderstood—topics in sales leadership: hiring.
We explore why the “hire someone from that company” mentality is lazy, what actually makes top sellers say yes, and how the interview process often reveals more about the company than the candidate. From sales managers who can’t sell the role to founders looking for quick fixes, this episode breaks down the myths and offers a more honest, effective approach to building a winning team.
Whether you're hiring your first rep or your fiftieth, this is the episode to listen to before your next interview.
