AssessmentHow Josh scored — 93 out of 100

Eight things, every one backed by a number or a specific example. Verified — we tested it against the record. Candidate-stated — he said it and we have not confirmed it yet. Missing data lowers the score; it is never assumed.

Sales performanceCandidate-stated19/20

Exceptional quantified recurring-revenue results: about R4.2 million against a R3 million target, and R260,000 against a R200,000 six-month target. These figures are from his previous new-business role, not the current one — see the main risk.

Deal complexityCandidate-stated15/15

Outstanding enterprise complexity: a two-year cycle, six months of product testing, multiple stakeholders and a listed managed-service-provider contract worth about R800,000 to R1 million a month.

ProspectingVerified13/15

Strong multi-channel prospecting: cold calling, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, AI-enriched research and email campaigns. Weekly activity, meeting and conversion volumes still to be confirmed.

CoachabilityVerified9/10

A clear feedback example: he recognised a need for more persistence, upskilled on his own and adopted a firmer, structured follow-up approach.

CommunicationVerified9/10

Explains technical and commercial examples clearly — targets, buyers, objections and cycle complexity. His concise style should transfer well to senior stakeholders.

ICP knowledgeVerified10/10

Excellent understanding of enterprise technology buyers, MSPs, resellers and channel partners; adapts the value message for CEOs, MDs, CTOs, COOs and less technical stakeholders.

MotivationVerified9/10

Highly motivated to return to full-cycle sales; clearly energised by prospecting, meeting generation and closing. Open to relocation and international hours for the right role.

Job stabilityCandidate-stated9/10

Long continuity at one employer with an internal promotion path; the current role timeline and scope still to be confirmed.

Greatest strengthA two-year enterprise cycle, closed

Converted a listed managed service provider after a two-year enterprise sales cycle into a contract worth about R800,000 to R1 million a month. Persistent monthly stakeholder engagement, a six-month product testing phase and close coordination with the technical team through to signature.

  • Strong recurring-revenue performance — about R4.2 million against a R3 million target.
  • Owns enterprise deals across long cycles, technical evaluation, compliance and multiple decision-makers.
  • Hands-on prospecting: cold calling, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, AI-enriched research, email campaigns.
  • Knows technical buyers — CEOs, MDs, CTOs and COOs in technology-led businesses.
  • Handles commercial objections by tying technical solutions to revenue growth or cost savings.

CoachingDay-one coaching plan
  1. Re-baseline targets and pipeline reportingfor the scope you hire him into — his prior figures are from a different motion.
  2. Set commercial ownership boundaries earlypricing, negotiation, contracting — he is used to owning full enterprise cycles.
  3. Pair his technical fluency with your forecasting cadenceand CRM discipline from week one; former support engineer and head of support.

Every hire through HireSales comes with a coaching plan like this in your manager's hands on day one, plus a 30-day check-in.

Your interviewTwo questions worth asking
  1. Your BDM role ended in November 2025 and the Channel Account Manager role started in January 2026 — walk me through that move and what the role actually covers day to day, including the balance between customer-success and channel-sales work.
  2. Since moving into the current role, what do pipeline value, meetings booked and conversion actually look like? The R4.2m/R3m and R260k/R200k figures are from the previous role.
Before you offerThe main risk, stated — not hidden
Six months into a new role, with the headline figures from a different job

He moved from a Business Development Manager seat (ending November 2025) to a Channel Account Manager seat (from January 2026) — a channel/partner role, not the direct enterprise new-business seat he held before. Every headline figure here (R4.2m vs R3m, R260k vs R200k, the listed MSP deal) comes from the previous role. The current role's scope, targets and early performance are unconfirmed, and its typical deal size is R30k–R50k — do not assume the enterprise numbers carry over.

Also validate at interview: weekly prospecting volumes, meetings booked and first-contact-to-qualified conversion in the current role · ownership of pricing, negotiation, procurement and contracting on the largest deals · preferred CRM workflow, forecasting cadence and pipeline-reporting discipline.
