Case Study: Dynamo Sales Recruitment arm of the business – Recruitment of Salespeople – How Dynamo Selling Helped Star Glass Secure the Right Talent
Introduction
At Dynamo Selling, we know that hiring the right salespeople is the single most important investment a business can make. Great salespeople build pipelines, close deals, and drive growth – poor hires do the opposite, draining time and resources.
Unlike traditional recruiters, Dynamo Selling is first and foremost a sales training and sales coaching company. That means we bring a unique perspective to the recruitment of sales staff and BDMs: we don’t just fill vacancies, we identify, test, and secure genuine performers who are ready to deliver.
This case study highlights how we worked with Star Glass, partnering directly with their Managing Director, Fletcher Wyllie, to conduct a full 360-degree sales recruitment process. From defining the role and fine-tuning the advert through to shortlisting, testing, and securing a winning candidate, our expertise ensured Star Glass found the right salesperson for their team.
The Challenge
When Fletcher Wyllie approached Dynamo Selling, Star Glass faced a familiar but difficult challenge:
- They needed to recruit a sales professional who could fit seamlessly into the business, engage clients, and deliver measurable results.
- Previous recruitment attempts had not produced the right calibre of candidate, costing both time and missed opportunity.
- Fletcher wanted more than a generic recruiter. He wanted a partner with proven expertise in sales recruitment and a track record of recognising genuine talent.
This was the perfect fit for Dynamo Selling, as we specialise in recruitment of sales staff and recruitment of BDMs, underpinned by decades of experience in sales training and coaching.
The Dynamo Selling Approach
1. Fine-Tuning the Job Profile
We began by working closely with Fletcher to refine the job description and advert. Too often, sales roles are advertised generically, attracting the wrong people. We restructured the advert to appeal to ambitious, results-driven professionals, while also clarifying the performance and behavioural expectations unique to Star Glass.
2. Active Candidate Search
Rather than waiting passively for applicants, we took a proactive approach to candidate search. We tapped into networks, platforms, and industry connections to identify proven salespeople, including candidates with BDM experience. This meant we were able to access quality candidates who would never have applied through conventional job boards.
3. Rigorous Testing and Behavioural Analysis
Sales professionals can be excellent at “talking the talk.” Our job was to identify those who could also “walk the walk.” To achieve this, we designed a comprehensive evaluation process that included:
- Case study testing to simulate live sales situations.
- Self-analysis exercises where candidates critiqued their own approach.
- Behavioural profiling to test adaptability, resilience, and cultural alignment.
Because Dynamo Selling is immersed in sales coaching and sales training, we were able to craft tests that went far deeper than the standard CV and interview. This gave Fletcher true clarity about each candidate’s strengths and weaknesses.
4. Multi-Stage Interview Process
We conducted first-round interviews to filter candidates thoroughly, followed by second-round interviews with Fletcher Wyllie to focus on the strongest applicants.
We presented a shortlist of candidates, all of whom met stringent criteria. Importantly, we also built a reserve of backup candidates, ensuring Star Glass had options should circumstances change.
This level of diligence is what sets Dynamo Selling apart in the recruitment of salespeople, it’s a process rooted in both science and sales expertise.
The Outcome
The result was a successful hire who has since become a valuable part of Star Glass’s sales team. The new recruit integrated quickly, demonstrating both capability and cultural fit. Fletcher and his leadership team have reported highly positive outcomes, both in performance and attitude.
By working with Dynamo Selling, Star Glass avoided the high cost of a poor hire and instead gained a motivated sales professional aligned with the company’s vision.
What Makes Dynamo Different from Traditional Recruitment Companies
The difference between Dynamo Selling and a typical recruitment firm is clear: we are not just recruiters; we are sales training experts.
Most recruiters assess candidates through CV screening and interview performance. That’s useful, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. A polished interviewee may lack the grit, adaptability, or commercial instincts needed to succeed in sales.
At Dynamo, we bring a sales-first perspective:
- We understand exactly what makes a salesperson succeed because we train and coach them every day.
- We know which probing questions to ask to uncover genuine ability.
- We can recognise when a candidate is “pulling the wool over our eyes,” because we’ve seen those behaviours first-hand in training rooms and live sales environments.
- We don’t just look for competence; we look for consistency, resilience, and potential for growth.
In other words, Dynamo Selling doesn’t simply run a recruitment process. We conduct a strategic talent evaluation rooted in behavioural science and sales psychology. That’s why our clients trust us with the recruitment of BDMs and sales staff because we deliver candidates who can sell, not just talk about selling.
