Boomers like me that we can be dismissive of the positive traits Millennials can bring to a business. They consider themselves creative innovators who thrive in collaborative environments and question the “whys” behind processes that strike them as inefficient or outmoded. They’re technology “natives” for whom adapting to new technologies is relatively easy. They have a willingness to take risks and learn from mistakes. They are loyal and hard workers when they receive the near-constant level of feedback they need to shine and feel happy.
The good news:
Based on the Millennial demographic, there will be a lot of up-and-coming professionals entering the work force to help take their businesses where they’ll need to be. But can we attract them to our sales teams?
