I don't have a magic answer. But, like with all recruiting, your chances of success will be much higher if you've made a decent attempt at doing the role yourself, and learning the fundamentals of the role. That way it's harder for someone to BS you, and easier for you to assess a candidate's areas of strength and weakness. If you're not sure where to start, I'd suggest these books: 1. Founding Sales 2. Traction (Weinberg) 3. Predictable Revenue (Aaron Ross) Hit me up if you want to chat.
