Building a successful sales team isn't just about finding the right talent; it's about leveraging your network effectively. Do the following to build a successful cybersecurity Sales team: ✔ Tap into professional connections: Instead of relying solely on recruiters, use your network to find high-quality candidates. Reach out to colleagues in parallel industries who may have great candidates they can't currently accommodate. 🤝 Build relationships with colleagues:  Establish connections with peers in similar fields and offer to share potential candidates. This reciprocal relationship can provide a steady stream of qualified leads without the hefty recruiter fees. 💲 Cost-effective hiring: Recruiters often charge 20% of the first year's salary. By leveraging your network, you save on these costs and often find candidates who are a better fit for your team culture and needs. Using your network not only saves money but also leads to better hires and stronger team cohesion. Ready to make the most of your professional connections?

Going around recruiters and hiring directly -- that's a very interesting idea, and huge kudos to you for writing boldly about it. My question -- of course you save money, but don't you also spend significantly more time on it? (and the time of a sales leader is also worth $$$, right?)

Interesting perspective! While networking is undoubtedly valuable, I believe that diversity in the hiring process can be enhanced through various recruiting channels. Relying solely on a network might inadvertently limit exposure to diverse candidates who could bring fresh perspectives to the team. What are your thoughts on balancing network-based hiring with more traditional recruitment methods?
