Let me know if you would like an introduction!

Sales and Marketing are two separate departments. STOP hiring a Sales & Marketing Head Instead hire a Sales Head and a Marketing Head and make sure that they are friends. #Sales #Marketing

Slainte friends o' Titan...building on our Irish Titan post below... Headline...we're looking for a Director of Sales. Boom. This next Titan will lead our sales efforts, be empowered to elevate the sophistication of our sales practice, and be expected to be a leader within both Irish Titan and the “ecosystem” (if you don’t know what that term means, you’re not qualified). The requirements are to the point: - Experience selling ecommerce solutions - Experience leading sales teams - Be a Titan (ie, fit our culture, no joke, bring your battle-ready kilt) - Live in MN or TX (b/c of our Titan only model) You’ll have material to work with in this position - 20 years of Irish Titan’s brand, reputation and ecommerce experience, an existing sales team, our sales process and tooling as it stands today (and freedom to reimagine that), and Irish Titan's marketing and channel practices to work alongside. Below I'm linking the JD and application, and a video (not required watching) with more context, including why I’m so goddamn excited for our future and what we’re doing to capitalize on (and create) that. Thanks for the help and support, everyone. #ecommerce #salesleadership

Your first hire should ALWAYS be someone who compliments your areas of weakness. Suck at sales? Hire a sales rep Suck at organization? Hire a VA Suck at marketing? Hire a marketing specialist It can be tough to delegate tasks and take your hands off the wheel but in my own experience it relieves so much stress and allows you to focus on what you are best at.

Who do you know that is always the energy in the room and the one voted most likely to become mayor? Share this post, I would love to speak with them!

Opportunity to work with sales

Open position for sales

Good opportunity

VP Sales. Job descriptions for this position often don't match what is REALLY expected. Many founders and CEOs want a miracle worker. "I've built a fantastic company with an amazing product. Now, I realize that selling it is the tough part. So, I'll just hire a Sales VP or Chief Revenue Officer and expect them to work magic." They believe hiring a top-tier Sales VP is the silver bullet to transform their growth. Here's the truth: It doesn’t work like that. I greatly respect sales professionals and understand their crucial role in taking any business to the next level. However, it’s not as simple as it looks. Salespeople don’t generate demand; they turn it into revenue. Creating demand falls on the product and marketing teams, with a major emphasis on the product itself. Here’s the process: 1. Start with an outstanding product. 2. Add exceptional marketing. 3. Then, bring in excellent sales. You can’t skip any of these "world-class" steps and still expect next-level success. Yet, too often, the first two steps are neglected, and the sales team gets blamed. Did you fire your Head of Product/Chief Technology Officer when you lost deals due to missing features? No, but your VP of Sales was let go for missing revenue targets. #sales
