Sales leaders, Have you hired a friend a your sales rep?

Just curious.

Has anyone had good or bad luck on hiring your friends as your sales subordinate (I.e, sales rep, AM, AE, etc ). Good or bad luck and why? Would you do it again if bad?

let me know thanks!

I'm thinking of hiring a friend. My advice is you'd need to be extra careful if you really want to tell your friend that you want to hire. Do some sort of a paid trial with them to evaluate a fit.

Friendships are imporatny.

I've hired a co-worker's friend and it didn't work out well, so since then I've tried to stay around from it. In case they don't perform well it's really hard to get rid of them
