Is Your Sales Team Sticking Around for the Long Haul?

Hiring great salespeople is hard enough—but keeping them? That’s where the real challenge begins. You might think the toughest part of recruitment is finding the right candidate, but what happens when they leave after just a few months? Suddenly, you’re back at square one, spending more time, energy, and money to fill the same position again.

It’s a vicious cycle, isn’t it? High turnover in sales teams can crush morale, disrupt business goals, and eat into your profits. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be this way. At Coburg Banks, we specialise in sales retention after hiring, helping companies like yours not only find exceptional sales talent but keep them for the long haul.

Why Do So Many Sales Hires Fail to Stick?

If you’ve ever had a promising salesperson leave within their probation period, you’re not alone. It’s a common issue for many companies, and the reasons go deeper than just “culture fit.” Here’s what often goes wrong:

• Rushed hiring decisions: Pressure to fill a vacancy quickly can result in overlooking red flags or important qualifications.
• Lack of onboarding: New hires are often thrown into the deep end without proper guidance or training, leaving them overwhelmed and disengaged.
• Poor alignment: The candidate’s expectations and the company’s reality may not match, leading to dissatisfaction on both sides.

These missteps are costly. Recruitment isn’t just about filling vacancies—it’s about building teams that last.

What It Looks Like Without Retention Support

Imagine this: You’ve spent weeks (or months) searching for the ideal candidate. You’ve invested in interviews, salary negotiations, and onboarding. For a moment, everything seems perfect—until they hand in their resignation three months later.

The cost of replacing a salesperson goes beyond just their salary. You’re also losing:

• Time: The effort spent on recruitment, training, and getting them up to speed is wasted.
• Revenue: You miss out on the deals and opportunities they could have closed.
• Morale: High turnover can demotivate your existing team, creating a ripple effect across the organisation.

Without a proper retention strategy, recruitment becomes a revolving door—one that’s exhausting and expensive to keep spinning.

How Coburg Banks Helps You Retain Top Sales Talent

At Coburg Banks, we believe recruitment doesn’t end when you sign the employment contract. Our approach is designed to ensure your new hires don’t just fill a role—they thrive in it. Here’s how we help you achieve sales retention after hiring:

• Thorough candidate assessment: We go beyond CVs and interviews. By evaluating skills, personality, and cultural fit, we ensure every candidate aligns with your team’s goals and values.
• Onboarding support: We don’t just hand you a candidate and walk away. We provide insights and guidance to help you onboard them effectively, setting them up for success from day one.
• Long-term focus: Our bespoke recruitment process considers not just who can do the job, but who will stay and grow with your company.

Retention isn’t an afterthought for us—it’s built into everything we do.

What Happens When Retention Becomes the Priority?

When you focus on retention as much as hiring, the results are transformative. Imagine this:

• Stronger teams: Your salespeople stay longer, work better together, and deliver consistent results.
• Increased revenue: With experienced sales talent in place, your business can hit and exceed targets more efficiently.
• Less stress: You’re no longer stuck in a constant recruitment cycle, freeing up time and resources to focus on growth.

Retention-focused recruitment isn’t just good for business—it’s a game-changer.
