Do you need a sales team or a sales Lead to eventually build out the sales team? Why ramp up an expensive full-fledged sales "team" (size?) without processes in place for sales, communication with the developers / client services (expectati

Some developers who were previously making ~$90-$110,000 would take positions to $70 - $90,000 for a large financial conglomerate with "bonus" potential as a carrot. Those bonuses trended towards $20,000 (so, a loss, and working 70 hours a
