Hiring great entry-level sales reps is one of the most difficult tasks a sales team takes on. From the amount of time it takes to ramp, to the costs associated with turnover, this results in thousands (and sometimes hundreds of thousands) of dollars in losses for a sales department. Unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any easier.
Until now.
Victory Lap is the common ground that both Jellyvision and ReviewTrackers share. They both use Victory Lap to help grow their sales teams and avoid the pains of hiring sales reps.
Why?
Because Victory Lap provides employers with already qualified and trained candidates who have the necessary skills to jump in, sell, and make an immediate impact.
Jessica Hay, Jellyvision’s new Vice President of Sales, stated, “I’ve never seen a company go to the lengths Victory Lap has to truly understand the candidate profile that Jellyvision seeks. We take culture incredibly seriously, and trust them to have a keen eye out for the talent that specifically suits our organization’s vision.”
Hay is aware of where to find great sales talent. “Some of our strongest sales talent comes from non-traditional and frankly non-sales backgrounds. We hire for DNA, and Victory Lap serves us well where that’s concerned. They shoulder a lot of the initial training, which reduces ramp-time and minimizes the risk of hiring new sales talent.”
Victory Lap finds, qualifies, and trains the next generation of top sellers, and helps employers hire better sales reps, faster. Victory Lap sales candidates go through a rigorous application process, with a <10% acceptance rate. The accepted candidates are provided two weeks of a tuition-free sales bootcamp taught by the best sales leaders in Chicago. Upon graduation, Victory Lap recommends each employer ideal sales candidates who are ready to jump in and sell.
Since signing on with Victory Lap five months ago, Jellyvision has hired at least one Victory Lap graduate. ReviewTrackers, one of Chicago’s fastest growing and most successful startups to date, has hired multiple.
Vice President of Sales at ReviewTrackers, Josh Fosburg stated, “The insight I've gotten into the Victory Lap process, and the rigor they've put into their candidate selection process, has given me tremendous confidence in making several hires. In addition to the training, Victory Lap puts their candidates through a methodical and thorough amount of real life calling. Unlike the typical recruiting process, I'm getting not just a resume. I’m getting a new hire that I know for a fact has learned the building blocks of sales from the best of the best.”
Jellyvision and ReviewTrackers are just two of 50+ employers who have decided to utilize Victory Lap’s unique program. In addition to solving many of the pains associated with hiring entry-level sales reps, employers only pay Victory Lap should they extend an offer and hire one of their graduates. In other words, interviewing Victory Lap’s trained sales candidates is risk-free.
Victory Lap exists for many reasons, but to help employers and employees alike is their true passion. With over 600 applicants to date, and over 200 first round interviews offered to 60 accepted candidates, employers are finding success and ease in filling their Sales Development Representative, Business Development Representative, and Account Executive/Manager roles by using the Victory Lap program.
