MARK: A SALES LEADER’S ROLE IN HIRING

“The key is not HR, but the sales leader should define what the spec is for an AE or a BDR. Anybody who's a sales leader anywhere in their role, not HR, you need to define the spec that you're going for. If you don't do it in granular detail, then you're gonna get hornswoggled by somebody that's a fast talker that you like that is outside of your spec, classic blunder in hiring.”

MARK: HIGHEST NEED, BEST CUSTOMER

“You want to focus on customers that have the highest need for what you have, that they're going to be able to adopt and expand with you, and you could build a great business around it.”
