Hiring great salespeople has never been more critical — or more difficult. Markets are noisy, competition is fierce, and the margin for error in sales hiring is razor-thin. One wrong sales hire can cost a business tens of thousands in lost revenue, wasted onboarding costs, and missed opportunities. The good news: modern tools (and better hiring strategy) finally give businesses an edge.
Salesfolks is the modern, AI-driven platform that helps companies hire high-performing salespeople faster, with dramatically greater accuracy and less effort. Whether you're hiring SDRs, AEs, Territory Managers, Outside Sales Reps, Roofing Sales Consultants, or senior sales leaders, Salesfolks consolidates best practices, technology, and talent sourcing into one streamlined experience.
Even experienced hiring managers struggle to reliably predict sales success. Why?
Top performers sound alike. Low performers often sound great too.
LinkedIn, job boards, industry groups, referrals, niche recruiters — it’s a mess.
An SDR is not an AE. A roofing sales consultant is not a SaaS account executive. Experience doesn’t always translate.
The best reps are off the market in days, not weeks.
Gut instinct feels good. Data-backed hiring performs better.
Businesses that don’t modernize their sales hiring process get outmaneuvered — not because they don’t try hard, but because the old playbook no longer works.
The next generation of sales hiring is:
Salesfolks is built specifically for this modern approach.
