As soon as we could afford to hire him back, we tracked him down and were able to re-establish our relationship. It's five years later, and he continues to close large deals every week. A sales executive who's doing the right things but struggling in the short-term is likely to prosper later. Second, our attempts to part ways as politely as possible paid off in a win-win situation later on. We hired a woman who was six months pregnant.
People have reservations about hiring a pregnant woman, but it worked out perfectly.
She worked until she went on maternity leave and came back after giving birth. She's now vice president. I hired her because I thought she would understand the market. She not only used and knew the products well, but she could also help end-users or caregivers choose the appropriate product for a particular need. Inc. All rights reserved.
