verveschool 2.0
we made our flagship program completely free last week. not because it wasn't working. it was. but we were filtering out exactly the people we existed to serve.
the cost of bad hires
every bad sales hire costs ₹3-5 lacs in india. yet most startups keep hiring interview rockstars. charm doesn't close deals. results do.
what resumes miss
last year i rejected most candidates with perfect resumes and great interviews. not because they were bad, but because resumes and interviews measure the wrong things. character predicts success better than credentials.
how sales changed everything
in 2022 i was just another grad with no skills and no plan. i refused to settle. then i found sales. it didn’t just pay the bills. it changed how i saw myself. now i help others do the same.
speed wins in hiring
bad ceo just lost the best person for the job. took a week to decide. by then she'd already started somewhere else. classic move.
what resumes don’t tell you
most companies care about resumes and interviews. what matters most aren’t things you see on paper: they’re traits you feel in action.
why prospects ghost
prospects don’t ghost deals because they’re busy. they ghost because silence feels safer than saying yes. the issue isn’t communication. the issue is trust.
confusion is a compass
prospects don’t ghost deals because they’re busy. they ghost because silence feels safer than saying yes. the issue isn’t communication. the issue is trust.
careers aren’t random
prospects don’t ghost deals because they’re busy. they ghost because silence feels safer than saying yes. the issue isn’t communication. the issue is trust.
the high turnover strategy
the companies posting the same jobs every day aren’t broken. they’re smart. high-turnover isn’t always failure. sometimes it’s the business model.
let salespeople hire salespeople
prospects don’t ghost deals because they’re busy. they ghost because silence feels safer than saying yes. the issue isn’t communication. the issue is trust.
hiring for the invisible
companies hire salespeople wrong. not because managers lack intelligence. they optimize for the wrong signals: credentials, presentation skills, eye contact, handshakes. a system built on what you can see in 30 minutes.
the socratic unmentor
i used to think being a mentor meant having all the answers. people would come with problems and i would dispense solutions. three steps to success. roadmaps. quick fixes. it never worked. not really.
polish vs skill
most people spend hours adjusting fonts and crafting clever headlines for their resumes. getting a perfect linkedin profile feels important. but none of that matters if you cannot do the work.
