In this episode of Training Unleashed, our host Evan Hackel sat down with one of the most respected sales consultants today - Bill Farquharson. Yet as you will learn in this post today, Bill is about much more than selling. He has a far-ranging philosophy that can bring success in every part of your life.

Known for his energetic and entertaining presentations about improving sales and selling, Bill is a 40-year print sales veteran. He believes that every interaction through your day can be viewed – and improved – if you think of it as a sales situation. If you are stopped by a traffic officer, that can be viewed from a sales context. The same goes for times when you are negotiating with your children, buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks, and even when you are walking your dog. In the interview, Bill also explains how he viewed recovering from the pandemic as a sales problem.

Training Unleashed’s host Evan Hackel recently sat down with Danielle Mulvey, founder of a remarkable company called The All In Company that has developed systems to hire and retain only 5-star employees.

Their conversation revolves around the concept of 5-star employees elevating a team and moving the company forward, to help it grow and prosper. So, what are 5-star employees?

According to Danielle, the 5-start employee represents the top 15% of available talent in the market. A 5-star employee is “really that ideal candidate for the role who has the drive, the passion, maybe experience, maybe not, but the aptitudes to be successful in the role and deliver on the key responsibilities that you need for the role - and the measure of success you put to those key responsibilities.”

It’s an interesting concept that starts in the hiring process—digging deep into what you need from the candidate, their aptitudes, their core values. It’s about spending time with the candidate to understand them and evaluate the fit.

Danielle shares a tip on how to change your job postings to start attracting your 5-star employees today!
