The first time I built a sales team, I burned precious cash for almost a year as it dramatically underperformed. Here's what I learned. But first, the story: I started by hiring some experienced, highly recommended reps from companies in a similar space. ✅ I built an elegant comp program by consulting experts. ✅ I set up the sales process in the CRM and made decks about how the motion should work. ✅ I followed the deals, did pipeline reviews, and met with the team regularly to problem-solve issues they were experiencing. But we were dramatically missing quota, and I had no idea why. So I resorted to the most common explanation: the product or the reps were underperforming. But in hindsight, I was the one underperforming. Because I was leading the team all wrong: ❌ I didn't have a way to figure out why we were losing deals ❌ I didn't know how to help my team improve in the problem areas ❌ I wasn't getting in the weeds enough by watching calls and doing sales work to give the team the leadership they needed Now, as I'm building a sales team again, I've talked to dozens of sales leaders about how they lead their teams and help them improve. Viktor Hatfaludi from Revenue Ramp is one of those leaders. He helped me take what I've learned and write a simple 3-step sales coaching guide that helps you... 1️⃣ Diagnose where your team needs to improve 2️⃣ Develop a plan to improve and 3️⃣ Follow-up to make sure improvement happens While this is meant for new sales leaders, there are nuggets for everyone—including founders doing founder-led sales. I hope it's helpful, and I'd love your feedback! (Link to the guide is the comments)👇
