Tried getting external sales and Biz person, did not work out. I think it is pretty hard to do sales and Biz Dev for a company of my size unless you are the founder. You don't have a real brand and established processes that the sales/biz dev person can rely on. I was warned against this by someone that runs a company 100 times larger than mine and I ignored his advice and tried it anyway.
- jcc80 14y agoAgree. It would likely have to be someone you at least somewhat know already and perhaps known by your customer base (go to same conferences, etc.). In general the 100x company advice is right, but, at the same time I don't think you can pick a sales guy & conclude that because it didn't work out that it was the wrong decision. Tough spot.
