RBS Training: Atlanta

RBS stands for "requirement based selling," and I just spent a week in Atlanta learning all about it. I became a sales representative with absolutely no experience in sales. I didn't even take an intro to sales class in college. For that matter, I never took a class offered by the College of Business. Needless to say, the material covered all week was new to me.

Now that I am primed to be a selling machine, I want to share some quick facts about the Cintas hiring practices as relayed to me by Vice President of Sales Peter Rego:

2,500 resumes reviewed = 100 interviews = 1 hire.

When you put it like that, I feel accomplished. I feel elite. Now it's my job to prove they made the correct decision.
