No seller is perfect, but, with us they are. We close their gaps so they don't fall into them
70% of reps fail
Don't gamble on your next hire. Be assured the rep has the skills
Training is needed
There is a right way to do things. We train your reps on how to be a professional sales rep
Professional sales training that is game-changing + Sales enablement program to enhance skills + Closing gaps, monitoring growth + Year-long coaching + Monthly courses + Accountability + Mentoring = Winning Talented individuals, enabled by top trainers and coaches, are significantly more likely to succeed
We help you hire better, scale faster, win more business, and reduce the burden on management of maintaining a high-performance sales department.
Ambitious sales reps want to work where they will achieve career progression.
They want the best on-the-ground training program on the market today.
So ask yourself, does your training and development program stack up with the best out there? If not, you won't attract top talent.
Pointer's program, however, is the best in class and more than 99% of the market gets.
Pointer consistently identifies and trains the top performers
Well we believe that the one thing all sales people can sell is their own abilities.
Hiring good candidates comes down to experience - ours not theirs. Pointer only hires sales reps, and we hire a lot. That's how we have become experts at picking future sales leaders.
When we train them, we can tell very quickly who has what it takes to be a top performer. We will help you build your reps to top performers, or help you find ones that can be.
Pointer's training program increases retention.
When you realise that the average tenure of a junior sales rep is under a year, with 70% never reaching target in that time - you have to ask yourself -what makes you so different from all the others that can't hold on to top performing reps? The reality is: 1: Well-performing reps outlast underperforming reps. 2: Professional development is motivating and they can see the benefit in sticking around to complete our course. 3: Having mentors and peer support help reps feel like they have the support of a team to manage the mental challenges of selling.
The smartest long-term strategy is hiring juniors now to fill your future senior roles.
Internal promotions succeed more than external hires. But your juniors have a lot more to learn. Helps them build their skills so they can be your future sales leaders.
Pointer can save your management
How much time does your sales leadership waste ramping new hires? Without the time investment the rep is more likely to fail Pointer's training can reduce your management burden allowing you to operate a leaner sales team, or have your Business Develpment leader spend more time doing other activities.
Hired, trained, coached and guaranteed.
All this training is included in our placement fees, and all fees are based on the rep succeeding
Video Tutorial
Are we right for you?
Watch our quick video
Our service is brilliant, and solves a problem. But it doesn't solve all the worlds problems. Watch this quick video to see if we are a good fit for you
Super simple - let us know your hiring brief. We'll get to work finding the perfect candidates for you (we may already have some waiting). Because we are always recruiting BDRs we have a solid candidate pipeline.
Do we insist on exclusivity?
We are so confident in our offering that we do not require exclusive placement rights. Our clients value our ongoing professional development, the placement is the 'cherry on top'
How long until I have reps to interview?
Typically 2-4 weeks. We usually have a waiting list of reps waiting to join Pointer.
How do I brief Pointer?
Pointer will learn about your needs as if we were your fractional VP of sales. We will know EXACTLY who you are looking for. We will get this from you in a briefing meeting. We do have forms if you prefer.
02. Sales Training
How does Pointer enable my new reps?
We'll provide your sales team with a place they can learn and hone their sales skills. There is a massive learning curve to become a successful BDR. We provide the environment for continuous professional development. One of the mast valued elements to Pointer's training is the strong support network we have. With tens of reps and BDR managers available at any time to answer your reps' questions.
How does the training work?
We aim to get your reps delivering value ASAP. Within weeks, they should be on the tools, setting meetings. The first month of training is quite intensive. This is the 'ramp' period.
Thereafter, training is focused on refining skills and mastering what they have already put into practice.
At the end of the first year, we can shift training to important skills required as an account executive, helping them develop skills needed to progress from Discovery to Deal won.
Does Pointer provide onboarding training?
Yes we do. We have a package refined over time to best suit ramping junior sales reps. It's the same way we train our in-house team who are delivering our fully outsourced service. We will also work with you to customise the training and make your onboarding process specific to your company too. Once built, we can onboard and ramp new reps for you with ease - you never have to worry about ramp again.
How long is the new sales rep's ramp time?
Reps are typically actively prospecting within weeks of starting. In fact, we prefer reps starting in week 2 the latest. The full ramp period is 1 month, and most reps would not say they are 100% confident in the role for the first 3 months.
What training is provided after the rep's ramp period?
Reps have 3 in person (live) training sessions each week.
There is peer led practice sessions as well, instructor led and as asynchronous training available to make sure everyone can get what they need. To round it all off, our online resources are available for them to use at any point.
03. Sales Management
What management does Pointer provide
With our recruit and train model, BDR management is not included. We provide the coaching, training and enablement piece for you and will gladly provide advice on best practice. such as working with your leadership team to set realistic goals for your BDR, activity metrics and KPI's.
We do offer the full management service for an additional 1,25% per month.
We are also happy to work with you on specific HR issues such as running documented Performance Improvement Plans on your behalf. Our plans are designed to actually improve performance, but if performance does not improve, will provide a justifiable reason for dismissal.
What metrics does Pointer track?
For our recruitment service, metrics are self reported by the reps to us. Once a month we will validate the efforts with your sales leaders when we have a strategic review of the team's progress
We have options to feed metrics directly to us as well as giving us direct access to call recordings for coaching purposes. These are options we would discuss (and have no additional service fees)
How does Pointer integrate with existing management?
Your BDRs are an essential part of your continuous feedback look. We will help close these gaps by bringing up learning with your leadership team. Often the challenges a BDR faces has more to do with the market or your messaging than their skill and effort.
When we discover strategic gaps, we will raise them with you.
04. Pricing
What do you charge for placements or training?
We charge 12% your rep's base pay for training only and 18% of the base pay for both training and recruitment. You pay 1/12th monthly so there are no major upfront costs.
Do you offer a guarantee
We do one better! Because you pay us monthly, if your team member doesn't work out, you simply stop paying.
What are the payment terms?
Monthly for 12 months
Help me justify the price
-Failed Hires -Delayed revenue -Opportunity cost of underperforming -Business failing and not having enough money to support your team. There is literally no better ROI than having your rep succeed. You will be better off with Pointer's help at 15% of their base pay, than you would by hiring someone who earns a 15% higher base. Ultimately, having successful reps is worth a lot more than any fees you can pay. Wasting their full salary is the real risk.
