Not sure I understand this. I think it's very hard for engineers and other Silicon Valley types to evaluate salespeople.
However, in the rest of the business world, a salesperson is about the easiest potential hire to evaluate. Ask them to pitch the product they will be selling and then ask to see their past two year's of W2's with their commissions earnings to see what they've done in the past.
