Selling From the Heart

Recruiting & Onboarding

Ineffective Onboarding

When new hires ramp slowly without structured development, you lose time, money, and momentum. Great onboarding starts with skills, not just product knowledge.

"Larry brings a unique perspective that brings great clarity to how to utilize social. You will not be disappointed!"

— Warren Doherty, Sales Leader

Does This Sound Familiar?

New hires are handed a product deck and told "go sell"

Ramp time is 6+ months — or reps never fully ramp at all

Early attrition is high because new hires feel unsupported

Onboarding is inconsistent — it depends on which manager they get

Why It Happens

Most onboarding teaches what to sell — not how to sell.

Onboarding focuses on product, not skills

New hires learn what to sell but not how to sell. Without trust-building skills from day one, they struggle to connect with buyers.

No structured development path

Without a clear roadmap for skill development, new hires flounder. They don't know what good looks like or how to get there.

Managers aren't equipped to onboard

Most managers wing it. Without a coaching framework, onboarding quality varies wildly between teams.

How We Help You Fix It

We build onboarding that develops trust-based skills from the very first week.

Structured skill-based onboarding

We build an onboarding path that develops trust-based selling skills alongside product knowledge.

Daily micro-training from day one

New hires start building the right habits immediately with short, focused daily lessons.

SalesIndex baseline assessment

Measure each new hire's starting point so development is personalized, not generic.
