As your startup grows, so do the challenges of your sales organization. For bootstrapped or early-stage business, customer acquisition relies on unstructured, ad hoc process development and a few goal-driven hunters. As business scales, your customer value proposition and pitch are in constant flux with new features, hiring and onboarding increasingly become even more challenging (especially as you start hiring in new geographies), and customer retention takes center-stage. Sales reps need different supports at each stage of your business’ evolution.


This panel of serial startup sales leaders will discuss how sales readiness develops and improves as startups scale. They'll unpack and debate different approaches to incentive structures, processes, and the right balance between hunting & farming at each stage.


This event is part of the Marketing & Sales track at Startup Boston 2018.
