Sales Trajectory Podcast

Big news! My debut book Crystal Ball Recruiting is almost here!

Jason Howes Season 2 Episode 3

Jason Howes goes solo on this short episode to update listeners on the past and future of sales recruitment.  

  • Why I left the corporate world in 2018:
    To solve two persistent challenges—ineffective sales training and over-reliance on industry experience in recruitment.
  • The current sales talent crisis:
    • Average salesperson tenure is 18 months and falling.
    • 50% of hires fail.
    • Many companies settle for average performers instead of the top 20%.
  • My mission:
     Helping leaders, HR managers, and business owners recruit smarter using science, data, and mindset shifts.

About the Book

  • Crystal Ball Recruiting is more than a guide—it’s a call to action for leaders to stop guessing and start recruiting with clarity and confidence.
  • Built from thousands of candidate interactions and hundreds of interviews.
  • Focused on alignment, ROI, and building stronger teams.

We hope you enjoy!
