Nick, Armand, and Mark Kosoglow talk through how and when you should make different sales hires as your sales team grows.


ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:



  • Hire Builders First: Early sales hires should create processes, while later hires follow them.


  • CEO Sales Involvement: Founders should sell until they define the product and process, then transition to AEs.


  • Scaling Key Roles: Maintain a 1:1 AE to SDR ratio early, shifting to 2:1 later. Hire RevOps early; SE and enablement depend on need.


  • Manager & Director Timing: Keep managers at 8 reps max, stretching to 10-12 if needed. Delay director hires until managing at least three managers.
