According to Jason M. Lemkin a VP of Sales should be recruiting 50% of the time. I quote: "Real VPs know half their job is about hiring great people, at first maybe just a few, and then later, tons of them. 50% of the job of a real VP is recruiting" This is my absolute favorite part about being a GTM and sales leader, recruiting great people, people smarter than me, and empowering them. In the last 5 years, I've helped hundreds of customer success and sales rockstars accelerate their career. When you aren't directly hiring, recruiting is done passively through building relationships. It needs to be a win for the candidate and a win for the company, much like software sales needs to be a win for the client through ROI and you need to bring in the right client so they don't churn or take up too many resources internally. When we weren't growing as fast, this meant we weren't hiring as fast and evidently, I'd get bored. It took me years to figure this out.. but my absolute favorite part about being a sales leader is discovering, recruiting, hiring, and onboarding great talent from all over the world. I'm excited to take this passion and build something great with it. More to come. #recruiting #hiring #talentacquisition #remotesales
I totally agree! Recruiting and hiring great talent is such an exciting and fulfilling part of being a sales leader. It's amazing to see rockstars grow and succeed in their careers. #
Finding and bringing in top talent is definitely a thrill! 🌟
