    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    Its definitely going! No success yet. I think everyone is US based except one guy whom I didn't notice was in Costa Rica before making a 87 dollar phone call to him. I think he's a really strong candidate, so hopefully he makes me that back in droves. Thanks for checking back in!

    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    MARKETING 
    I've gotten sales on my own freelancing, but when I started this I decided to jump right into building a sales team. As for the business? No sales yet. As for process? I primarily worked my network and spammed people on LinkedIn. This isn't very helpful at all, that's why I'm offering 25%...

    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    MARKETING 
    I can't agree more! I'm continuing to interview (selectively) because of this issue. I've made it clear to them all that I'm looking for a leader to help out building and eventually take over running the sales department, so I'm hoping at least one good, senior person will take the leap...

    Thanks for your input, I'm glad to see I've caught the attention of someone further along pursuing the same goal. I have thought about the issue of getting too many sales to handle at once. Frankly, this sounds like a great problem as my current one is getting sales. Worst case scenario, all...

    I'm planning on paying them on a project basis. Once I hire people, that could all change, but I'm going to be testing everyone as a freelancer first to see how it goes à la Sam Altman article. I'm gonna post the job on everything. My last job post was on Indeed and Upwork. I did Upwork...

    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    MARKETING 
    I plan to contract everything out. It might makes sense in some situations to do it myself, but my priority is setting up a system that will no longer need me one day, so I view every outsourced job as another valuable learning experience to help me build that. I've brought on 8 sales reps, but...

    Building a Sales Team with Zero Experience

    MARKETING 
    That's a great question, I think I need the sales rep to maintain communication. For me to hit my exit goal, I really only need two reps making greater than or equal to one weekly sale. That'll allow me to be picky, and I need to learn how to build great teams regardless. No refunds, we do 50...

    I appreciate the quality content! I don't know why I kept getting guru trash when I was searching. I'm really glad you asked my reasoning for hiring a full team, I realize how stupid I sound without having explained that. First and foremost, I told everyone right away not to quit their job or...

    Thanks for the article. It was extremely enlightening. I was careful not to say anything other than "freelancer until further notice" so I think I can avoid firing them, but I'll still need to have the talk. I ran right into the "hiring because you don't think you have time" error. Seems...

    That feeling of obligation led me to okay waaaaaaaay too many interviews. I know now that that's to be avoided at all costs. I'm too damn nice, need to get harder.

    Thanks for the article! I wish I'd have waited one more day before interviewing, or got on here sooner with my questions. After a grueling 12 hours, I canceled all my future interviews saying we'll reschedule for next week. I must go about this with more education. Mistake #1: Not being more...

    Hey Fastlane Forum, I'm building a web development agency (cliche, yes I know) with the goal of earning $52k/yr. Why such a low number? Well, my real drive is to create startups that build world-changing technology. After a couple years of pursuing this, I began seeing a vicious cycle: I...
