One of the biggest mistakes I see in hiring is overvaluing personality assessments like DISC. Decades ago, companies found top salespeople were high D’s and I’s… so they hired more of them.

Ten years later?
The worst performers were also high D’s and I’s.

Personality doesn’t predict performance.

But there is a system that does. Join our free on-demand webinar to learn hiring best practices. https://carl-site-1f5e.thinkific.com/courses/hiringestimators

It’s a bitter pill, but most bad sales hires are predictable.

The warning signs are usually there. But too often, we just ignore them.

Great sales hiring isn’t about instinct. It’s about understanding your own bias and building a system.

You need:
âś” Clear role definitions
âś” Strong interview structure
âś” Objective scoring
âś” A system designed to expose weaknesses

Hidden weaknesses (need for approval, discomfort talking about money, or poor buying habits) will quietly destroy sales performance.

Average salespeople close 30–40%.
Top performers? 50–65%+—even at higher prices.

That difference isn’t personality.
It’s Sales DNA + process.
If you want consistent growth, stop hiring based on gut feel.

You need a hiring system. Join our free 90-minute on-demand webinar to learn best practices for hiring your next top-performing estimator. https://carl-site-1f5e.thinkific.com/courses/hiringestimators

- You can’t out-market a weak salesperson.

- You can’t scale revenue with an estimator who keeps getting ghosted.

- You can’t build a $3M, $5M, or $10M company with a sales team that discounts to win jobs.

The real problem:

Most contractors use the wrong criteria to evaluate sales candidates—so they end up hiring the wrong type of estimator.

You can’t hire salespeople the same way you hire painters, foremen, or admins.

You need a different set of criteria if you want this hire to actually move your business forward.

Don't wait!! Sign up for our webinar on Hiring Estimators Who Actually Sell is TOMORROW! Join us to learn:

1) Avoid the 7 Sales Hiring Mistakes That Quietly Kill Growth

Most contractors repeat the same traps—because they’re using “normal employee” logic on a sales role.

2) Create a Performance-Based Job Description (That Filters Out Pretenders)

A job description built around outcomes—not tasks—attracts producers and repels time-wasters.

3) Write a Job Ad That Attracts Closers (Not Order-Takers)

Your ad should screen before they ever apply—so you stop wasting interviews on the wrong people.

4) Use a Performance-Based Interview That Exposes Impostors

You’ll get three simple, little-known interview techniques that reveal hidden weaknesses fast—before they cost you months of poor sales.

5) Add an Objective, Science-Based Layer to Your Hiring

Stop relying on gut feel and “confidence.” You’ll learn how to add real objectivity to your selection process.

6) Use the Only Interview Scorecard You’ll Ever Need Again

A simple scoring system that tells you—clearly—who’s a fit, who’s not, and why.
