  4. Sales Expert David Angel Reveals Why 90% of Businesses Hire Salespeople Wrong (And How to Fix It)
What if the secret to scaling your sales isn't hiring more
salespeople — but fixing the systems and mindset that make them
successful? In this episode of The Grown Up Business Podcast, Paul
Avins is joined by David Angel — sales expert, entrepreneur, and
specialist in helping businesses scale their revenue through
smarter sales systems and stronger teams. David shares the brutal
truth about why most sales hires fail, why salespeople aren't the
silver bullet business owners hope for, and how to build a sales
process that works on the good days and the bad. Together, Paul and
David unpack the three biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when
trying to scale sales, how to interview salespeople properly
(including the genius role-play technique that reveals who's real
and who's just good at interviews), and why most business owners
sell the way they like to buy — not the way their customers
actually want to be sold to. This conversation goes deep into the
difference between hunters and farmers, why sales skills erode over
time without training, and how to onboard and develop a sales team
that scales with your business instead of holding it back. This
episode is essential listening for founders and CEOs who want to
build a predictable, scalable sales engine without relying on hope,
hustle, or hiring unicorns. Key Takeaways Why salespeople aren't a
