😩 It’s frustrating when you hire, train, and invest— only to see your salespeople walk out the door. But here’s the thing: It’s not about hiring more people. It’s about giving them something to work with. One founder I worked with kept hiring salespeople, hoping they’d fix the problem. But without a proven process in place, it was a never-ending cycle. 🎙️ In this week’s episode of Breaking the Grade, I’m sharing why focusing on the process is the key to stopping turnover and building a team that can actually succeed. Tune in to hear: ✔️ The hidden risks of scaling your sales team too quickly — and the strategy to scale with purpose and precision. ✔️ How to ensure your first sales hire is the right one for your business — without wasting time and money. ✔️ Why premature hires can slow down your sales cycle — and how to know when you're truly ready to scale. ✔️ How understanding the difference between a founder’s sales role and a sales team’s role can transform your revenue potential. 🎧 Listen to the full episode to avoid costly mistakes and take control of your sales growth. https://lnkd.in/dRU7MwgN
