🚨 Learn from my mistakes!! Transitioning from founder-led sales to hiring account executives/BDRs is exciting — but it can also be a minefield if you don’t do it right. Yesterday, at a lunch hosted by Right Side Capital Management, I talked with a founder whose company is at ~$500k ARR. His co-founder is still running all the sales calls and they’re gearing up to hire two AEs. When he shared their plan, my immediate reaction was: “Awesome....BUT, let me try and save you from some of the brutal mistakes I made at Cohley when we made this transition.” Here's the unsolicited advice I gave him, based on my own painful learnings: 1. Document EVERYTHING you're currently doing in your own sales process. What’s obvious to you isn’t obvious to a new hire. Codify best practices, scripts, and playbooks to smooth out the training process. 2. Brace for a capacity crunch. Managing and ramping AEs is work. Your short-term bandwidth won’t improve—it might even get worse before it gets better. 3. Lead flow is lifeblood. Before they start, make sure your pipeline is healthy enough to keep their calendars packed. 4. Hire for agility. You want AEs who thrive in chaos, not just veterans of hyper-structured orgs like Salesforce or Google. 5. Be brutally honest in hiring conversations. If you’re not scaring some candidates away, you’re sugarcoating. This is a tough job. Let them know that upfront. I know there’s more to this list, what am I forgetting? What worked (or didn't work) for you when you made this leap? PS, thanks for hosting Paul Swiencicki!!
