Shurtz: Discuss Compensation Expectations Mid-Process, Not at the End
“I like to know that we can afford someone and get to a comp structure before, like, it's time to have a comp discussion. I think you need to do that sooner rather than later. I don't, it's not the first conversation. It's not the last conversation.”

Larry Shurtz: Trust interview gut feelings as doubts usually manifest as problems later

Opinion
Larry Shurtz: Panel interviews are ineffective for assessing sales candidates
“I'm not a fan of panel interviews. I like doing interviews one-on-one. I strongly advocate that for my leaders because the relationship between the people that you work with for and around really matters, and I think that's difficult to get out of a panel.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Shurtz: Abrasive sales candidates will treat customers badly
“Do I ever hire people that I don't like where I'm like, oh my God, like, I just don't like that person. They're offensive. They're abrasive. No, I just don't even hire them. Because if they're that way to me, they're going to be that way with our customers.”

Insight
Larry Shurtz: Discount Requests Without Documented ROI Mean Sales Reps Failed
“When someone asks for a discount, if it's my team that's asking me for a discount, I want to see the value proposition. I want to see the business case. If we don't have a business case, if we haven't articulated when they're going to get their money back, wha…”
