Hire + Ramp

Hire Salespeople Who Are Productive in 30–60 Days

Sales recruitment paired with role-specific onboarding training, so your new hires stop learning on live deals and start contributing to pipeline faster.

  • Onboarding designed from the recruitment brief
  • Practice on your product, buyers and objections
  • Manager coaching rhythm from week one
Overview

You hired well. So why is the new salesperson still not selling?

Most companies spend weeks finding the right salesperson, then hand them a product deck, a CRM login and a few shadowing calls. Months later the hire is still unsure how to position the product, qualify a buyer or handle the objections your market raises every week. The cost is not just salary: it is the pipeline that never got built and the manager time spent firefighting.

Hire + Ramp closes that gap. Because we recruit the person, we already know the role, the market and the skills gaps we saw in assessment. We turn that into a 30–60 day onboarding journey, so your new hire arrives with a plan, not just an offer letter.

The challenge

Why new sales hires ramp slowly

The hire is rarely the problem. The first 60 days usually are.

01

Learning on live deals

New hires practise on real prospects, and every mistake costs you a real opportunity.

02

No shared method

Each new joiner copies whoever they shadow, so the team never sells one consistent way.

03

Managers have no time

Sales managers are carrying their own number and onboarding becomes an afterthought.

04

Recruitment and training disconnected

What the recruiter learnt about the hire's gaps never reaches whoever trains them.

Our approach

The 30–60 day Hire + Ramp journey

One partner from the recruitment brief to a productive salesperson.

  1. Step 1: Before day 1: hire for the role you will train

    We capture your ICP, sales motion and success metrics in the recruitment brief and assessment.

  2. Step 2: Days 1–10: foundations

    Value story, ideal customer, buyer personas and your sales process, specific to your company.

  3. Step 3: Days 11–30: skills in practice

    Discovery, qualification, objection handling and pitch role-plays built on your real deals.

  4. Step 4: Days 31–60: live pipeline and coaching

    Structured call reviews on live opportunities and a manager coaching rhythm.

  5. Step 5: Readiness review

    Progress checked against agreed milestones, with next steps for the manager.

FAQ

Hire + Ramp questions we get asked

Hire + Ramp combines Simpli5Sales recruitment with a focused onboarding programme for the people we place, so new salespeople become productive faster instead of learning only on live deals.

Typically 30 to 60 days, depending on the role, deal complexity and how quickly your team needs new hires on pipeline.

Onsite, offsite, virtual or hybrid, for single hires or a whole new team.

Yes. The onboarding journey works for any new sales hire; recruiting them ourselves simply lets us tailor it to the gaps we saw in assessment.
