Besides hiring for the right profile, remember that it doesn’t do much good to answer a specific need with a nonspecific seller. Are you looking for someone to bring in new business, sometimes referred to as a “hunter”? Set them in the right motion. Be precise about what you need. Sometimes, the answer isn’t one or the other.
