Great Sales People Sell
I wasn’t the entrepreneur who asked Terry Gold about hiring sales people, but his advice is on hiring the first sales person in a small startup is excellent. Go read his post. In fact, I am going through exactly same decision process at the moment. I am trying to hire a Manager of Inside Sales at Homethinking.com. Here is the job ad.
The candidate I hope to meet hopefully has experience selling media and advertising to smaller clients. Even better on a performance-basis. Think a young, smart, enthusiastic achiever who has had a few years experience at say Looksmart, Findwhat or the ad networks, and who wants to help grow (what I obviously think is an) exciting new startup.
Someone who is not afraid to blaze the trail and then help, hire and train others to scale the business. If you are such a person, drop me an email at niki dot scevak at gmail com. Or if you know someone who might fit the bill from the job ad or from Terry’s post on the matter, please also email me. Any help is much appreciated.
