🚀 Attention Startup Founders! 🚀 Thinking about hiring a VP of Sales and having them double as a sales rep? Think again! Here's why you shouldn't: 1. **Different Skill Sets**: A VP of Sales is a strategic leader, focused on building and scaling the sales team, setting long-term goals, and driving growth. A sales rep is on the front lines, closing deals and directly interacting with customers. Combining these roles dilutes their effectiveness. 2. **Time Management**: A VP needs to invest time in high-level strategy, coaching, and scaling operations. Expecting them to handle day-to-day sales tasks distracts from their core responsibilities. 3. **Team Morale**: Mixing roles can confuse and demotivate your team. Clear, defined roles ensure everyone knows their responsibilities and can perform at their best. 4. **Growth Potential**: A VP focused on strategy and leadership can drive exponential growth. Asking them to also be a sales rep limits their potential to innovate and expand your sales strategy. The solution is hire Fractional for your first VP of Sales. This will provide cost savings while allowing them to develop your first sales reps and providing the right plan for growth 💼💪 #Fractional #GoFractional #StartupTips #SalesLeadership #GrowthStrategy

Thinking about hiring an up-and-comer or promoting your Sales Director in to a CRO role? It's a whole new ballgame. They're not just driving sales; they're now the architect of a holistic revenue strategy. The challenge? Integrating sales with marketing, customer success, and even product development. It's about aligning all revenue-related functions under a single vision. And data should be their best friend, using insights to refine tactics and drive growth. 🔹 Transitioning requires a shift from tactical focus to strategic oversight. 🔹 They need to embrace cross-functional leadership to unify teams towards common revenue goals. 🔹 Adaptability is crucial; what worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. At Herringbone, we have developed the core skills and behaviours framework for a successful scale-up CRO, and transitioning in to this role isn't just about scaling numbers, it's about scaling the mindset. #CRO #B2BTech #LeadershipTransition

Product Management: Three truths and a lie Senior leaders, engineers, salespeople, and customers will all come to you with multiple requests. All those requests are to be seen as priority number 1. Everyone will look upon you as the superhero who made things happen when your product delivers on the expected outcomes or above. Fingers will be pointed at you and daggers will be sharpened when you deliver the unenviable news that the product feature is behind schedule by a few weeks. Your sales team will be so excited when they review the latest roadmap they will take what's shown as gospel and start selling these solutions before anyone has started the development. Now the good part! I have over 10 years experience handling these situations and currently exploring fractional, contract, or full-time opportunities. DM me and let's discuss how I can bring efficiencies to your product teams so you can deliver the outcomes your customers expect for success.

Ever been catfished by a job title? I have. And it’s happening way more often than I would’ve expected. Now I’ve never been one to fuss over titles. That just doesn’t fly in start-ups. BUT… I think it’s starting to create a huge signaling issue. For recruiters (both in-house & agency), hiring managers, and potentially colleagues. Talked to a “Business Development Director” the other day who 👉🏻 is fully an individual contributor 👉🏻 is a sole seller next to the founder / CEO 👉🏻 has never had any P&L experience So, are they leading bizdev strategy & GTM? Yes. Are they a director? Curious to hear your thoughts 🤝

Biggest problem with product manager job hunters in today's market is how selective everybody is with the roles they apply to. Most of you say the market is bad, but is it really? Most of you assume companies that you are interested in won't be interested in you, but how would you know if you never try? Most of you are holding out for companies that aren't ready to hire you and letting tons of awesome opportunities fly on by. I know this because we track all the post impressions and metrics for all my LinkedIn posts and the companies with the fancier logos always get all the love. Stop chasing the wrong opportunities and start attracting the right opportunities folks. #productmanagement

It was cool to see Owner recognized in Forbes’ Next Billion Dollar Startup list but, to be honest, I didn’t feel nearly the excitement that I would have expected. 🤔 I think that’s because I’ve been operating on the assumption that becoming a unicorn is a near term eventuality. ⛰️ We/I have our sights set much higher than that. ⛰️ The market is massive. The product has more traction than anyone in restaurant tech. The talent density is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. (If Forbes only knew how we’ve transformed the business in 2024. 😲) We are trying to level the playing field for hundreds of thousands of independent restaurant owners. We have all the ingredients, and more importantly the ambition, to become a decacorn in the next few years. And our mission doesn’t stop there. I also think my enthusiasm was muted because I worry that these accolades will attract the wrong type of person. Someone who’s looking for the next shiny object. What got us here are mission driven people with crazy ambition, teamwork, grit, resilience, work ethic and a growth mindset. I never want to lose that DNA. This recognition was made possible by the sacrifices of our team. There are real sacrifices to be a part of a mission like this. In order to be successful over the next decade, we need to attract people with that same wiring. Shiny object seekers beware. Nonetheless, I’m excited for the recognition because our team deserves it and I’m eternally grateful for the team members that got us to this point. Appreciate you all. 🤝 Onwards and upwards. 🐍 Job’s not finished. 🐍 P.S. If this is a journey you want to be a part of, I’m hiring for the following roles: - Marketing Operations Manager - Growth Marketing Manager - Account Executive - Sales/Business Development Representative - Sales Manager - XDR Director (posting soon)
