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

Hiring a VP of Sales is a big milestone. It's a move that requires timing, strategy, and foresight. Here is what I recommend... 1/ Wait for Repeatability: Before bringing on a VP of Sales, ensure your sales process is repeatable. You need a foundation that's proven and scalable. 2/ Consider a Management Layer First: Having someone to manage the day-to-day of your SDRs and AEs is often a better choice then going directly to a VP. This structure supports growth and further stregthens your sale org. 3/ Understand the Role: A VP of Sales does more than manage. They're expected to strategize, build processes, hire, and much more. The right candidate can transform your sales, but only if you give them the room to. The decision to hire a VP of Sales should not be rushed. It's about finding the right person, at the right time, with the right approach. If you rush it you will end up spinning your tires for 12 months before resetting your GTM function.

We want to hire a head of sales, someone who starts by calling on customers today and as they gain knowledge of the industry and company, they build a team, processes, etc in their likeness to run Very interesting role to hire for, as they need to build a function that 5x’s the company well into 9 figures of revenue, yet is willing to get their hands dirty to make it happen. It’s the dream job that my peers and I wanted in our 20’s as corporate wouldn’t give us the freedom … yet by the time people get promoted, it’s a job that more seasoned people don’t want as they can’t or don’t want to do the dirty work any longer This is probably the #1 reason why seasoned corporate people are unable or prefer not to make the transition to SMB

Our pipeline of accountable, coachable, and team oriented sales candidates across North America is absurd. We win on every front that matters: Mindset ✅ College (+) Athletes and Military Veterans are conditioned to operate in the best interest of the larger group, to work hard, and to get sh*t done. They learn in our program to not lose ANY of that when they enter the working world. Well Trained ✅ We've built teams that have far exceeded lofty goals, we know what folks need to know to be successful in their first 12 months. No Fluff. No Bullshit. Diverse ✅ This is a byproduct of our pipeline. Tell me a more diverse group of people then NCAA Athletes and the Military? Waiting... Bought In ✅ We've all hired the high intellect/great personal skills candidate because of their high potential - and we've all gotten the chat when they left the business because "sales wasnt for them". Those candidates don't make it to the end of our program, full stop. Transparent ✅ You don't have to trust us that they are well trained, you can literally watch videos of them doing the skills you're going to pay them to do BEFORE you interview them on your own time, from the comfort of your laptop. I know founders get wrapped around the axel when it comes to their babies and think, no matter what, their offering is the best in the world. And I'm no different. BUT - I've LIVED the problems we solve. I've struggled to find a new purpose after losing my identity. I've mis-hired hundreds of sales people. There is not a better solution in the world if either of those things are the problem you are trying to solve. #AllGasNoBrakes #DialedIn

🚨 Sales leaders – don’t make this hiring mistake! 🚨 Ever hear CEOs and sales leaders say they need a sales pro with industry experience because their industry is “unique”? Sure, sometimes it's true, but more often than not…it’s not! The real deal? You need someone with rock-solid sales skills. If they can generate interest and guide prospects through each stage of the sales process, they'll hit those sales targets. Industry experience? Nice to have. Sales skills? Essential. Hire the skills, teach the industry! #SalesTips #SalesLeadership #SalesSuccess
