TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
[00:27] Today’s Topic: When Does it Make Sense to Have Sales Reps?
[00:41] You shouldn’t hire a rep without testing out sales yourself.
[00:55] You need to have an understanding of the objections you will run into.
[01:11] Try doing it yourself for 30-60 days.
[01:30] Once you have a process, hire a rep.
[01:48] Start-ups fail because of premature scaling.
[02:45] If you hire prematurely, you will only end up having to fire people and losing money.
[03:01] When you hire people, it may not even work out.
[03:15] Have the rep do a paid trial to see what their skills are.
[03:40] The CEO of Saastr, Jason Lemkin, has a  blog post that breaks down the steps to hiring a sales rep.
[04:20] Sales reps don’t solve everything.
[04:21] That’s it for today!
[04:45] We hit our goal of 1 Million downloads! So, we will be throwing a free event in Los Angeles this June. Check out this website if you would like to attend. Remember: we are capping the event at 500 people, so sign up now, if you’re interested!
