Sales Recruiting Humor

Sales Recruiter Humor I heard this joke a couple of days ago and thought it was worth passing along:

HR Rep: Here is a stack of resumes for your open sales position.

Hiring Manager: Can you please show me the good resumes.

HR Rep: Here you go. [hands over a dozen resumes]

Hiring Manager:  [Takes the resumes and throws six of them in a waste basket, then hands the other six back to the HR Rep] I will interview these six.

HR Rep: What about the ones you just threw away??!

Hiring Manager: They were unlucky and I don’t hire unlucky sales people.

Note – The joke above sounds ridiculous, but if we are honest we have to accept that luck is a big part of sales success. Fortunately, luck is often not happenstance. The rep that works consistently hard and smart, will create more good luck .
