Founders Bay Virtual Workshop: Are You Actually Ready to Hire a Salesperson?
The Founder’s Guide to Knowing When to Hire, Who to Hire, and How to Avoid the Wrong Sales Hire
Hiring your first salesperson can feel like the obvious next step—but hiring too early, hiring the wrong profile, or expecting a salesperson to fix a broken sales process can become an expensive mistake.
This practical founder-focused workshop will help you determine whether your business is actually ready for a sales hire and, if so, what kind of salesperson you should be looking for.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize the signals that it’s time to move beyond founder-led sales
Assess whether your sales process is ready to be handed off
Identify the type of salesperson your business actually needs
Define the right role, responsibilities, and expectations
Avoid common mistakes when hiring your first salesperson
Build a hiring scorecard to evaluate candidates objectively
Set your new salesperson up for success from day one
Whether you're considering your first sales hire or have already hired and want to avoid repeating costly mistakes, this workshop will give you a practical framework for making the decision with greater clarity and confidence.
Walk away with a clearer answer to one critical question: Is now really the right time to hire a salesperson?
Speaker:
