From founder to sales team
Put what the founder knows in the team's hands.
You have built something that works. Customers want it, revenue is growing. But the founder is still at the centre of everything: leading the pitch, closing the deals, deciding the message and solving the problems. And you know that doesn't scale.
Moving from founder-led sales to a sales team is one of the transitions that define a growing company. It's less about hiring someone to “take sales off your plate” and more about designing the next version of the organisation: what team to build and around what system, which markets to prioritise, how to decide on data rather than instinct, and which tools will support the next stage instead of holding it back.
