🚀 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 Search, 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

💡 Considering Founder-led Sales vs Hiring a VP 💡 🤯 Founders often face the dilemma of whether to continue leading sales efforts or hire a VP to expedite product sales. Hiring sales personnel may seem like a quick fix, but it can lead to inaccurate projections and unrealised business potential. 🚎 Transitioning from founder-led sales to hiring a sales leader requires a structured approach. Sales managers and frontline salespeople require support and guidance based on the founder's expertise to ensure a successful transition. 🚨 Before hiring a VP, it is crucial to have a solid understanding of the market, including defining the Ideal Customer Profile, establishing effective marketing processes, identifying buyer personas, and allocating the necessary budget. Managing expectations internally and with partners and investors is essential. ❤️ Founders should leverage their passion and contacts to drive sales, focusing on understanding the value proposition for each client. Data gathered during these interactions will be invaluable when the time comes to hire a sales leader. 🚀 Avoid rushing the hiring process before the groundwork is laid.

Hiring a #partnerships team is crucial, but you also can't give the job to anyone... We've compiled a list of our top 6 qualities of a strong partnerships team. When you're hiring your next partnerships team member, you'll want to make sure they exhibit potential in all of these areas. In addition, here are some of the the top qualities that DIDN'T make it to the list, but we feel are just as important: #Methodical #Accountable #Organized #Committed #Analytical What are some other top qualities you look for when hiring a partnerships manager or anyone else in your partnerships team?

asdlfk;jasdf 🦃 I don't know who needs to hear this today, but titles don't matter. ▪️ A CMO of a $20M start-up looking to expand their scale experience could be a fantastic candidate for a VP of a $200M brand. ▪️ A Director at a $2B enterprise who wants to expand their scope of ownership could bring valuable scale experience as SVP at a $100M scale-up. ▪️ A VP at a $50M high-growth company might bring the tolerance for change that a $500M brand undergoing transformation needs in a key Senior Manager. OPEN TO WORK FOLKS – Don't be afraid to apply for an enterprise Director role because you've been on the executive team at start-ups. 🚨 RECRUITERS 🚨 Don't be afraid to interview candidates because they've had more senior titles! Careers are non-linear, particularly in tech. 🖤 Titles mean almost nothing to anyone but our egos 🖤 And I say this as someone who *desperately* needed the validation of that big title earlier in my career. I get it. Especially as a woman in tech and someone that was often younger than my colleagues...I really get it. Don't let your ego get in the way of a fulfilling career. Apply for that Director job at the bigger company. Titles do not job satisfaction make. 💪 #b2bmarketing #saas #jobsearch
