Hire the right sales talent with salesmentor.

Too many revenue leaders use the model that they used in the past to execute in the moment whether with the same vendor or a new one. Markets change. Solutions change. Therefore what you did before may not be the model that will work today. It’s like hiring a CRO who worked at a big company believing they can make your small company big. Nothing works that way because everything but one thing is always different. What doesn’t change is what ALL buyers do before they buy.

With a growing family of nearly 7000 connections on LinkedIn, it got me thinking... 💭 How can I call these strange people family, when I don't even know where are they are based?! Let's break down the Top 3 👇 (Using the countries national animals, because I'm weird) 🦁 England - 3200 members, 45% 🦅 Germany - 1268 members, 18.11% (Meant to be a golden eagle) 🦁 Netherlands - 985 members, 14.07% The big takeaway from this exercise.... did the Dutch or the British claim the lion first? From the limited research I've done, nobody seems to know. ANYYYYYYYWAY.......................... As I purely focus on: 💠 PAYMENTS 💠 FINTECH ⭕ GTM ROLES ONLY (Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, Presales etc.) ➕ I EXLUSIVELY head-hunt A-players from the top companies. Using LinkedIn maths....✔ This makes for a pretty potent network across Europe's main tech hubs for Financial Services.

Let's just take the most extroverted person we can find and make them the new sales hire! (that's how I imagine the hiring process in most companies 😅). Don't get me wrong, I am a solid extrovert myself, and having the skill to playfully open conversations is a plus. However, this sort of sales hiring stems from a time when sales was mainly about building relationships. But in complex FinTech sales, your sales team needs to be capable of so much more. Such as: 📊 Project management 🔧 Have a solid technical understanding 🧩 Know consulting basics like structured problem-solving 📜 Understanding rules and regulations of their industry 🤝 Stakeholder management 🌟 Prospecting 📈 Have Marketing basics But why all that? Because your product is complex, the road to a signature is long, the price tag is big, the competition is fierce, and the impact your product has is huge. But if you ask me, most companies do not take the time to further improve the skills of their sales staff and wonder why results stay absent.

I actually fear that a lot of entrepreneurs out there are hiring when they actually don't need to. Now hear me out. Everyone knows that you actually do need to hire to scale, and I'm actually a big advocate for it. I think it's essential. But where a lot of entrepreneurs get it wrong is that they overindex on the people side of things without taking a proper look at their systems and their processes. And the reality is, is that if you get those in place, you can actually save tens of thousands of dollars that you might have spent on an assistant because it'll help you with tracking your day to day, sending out repetitive messages or even staying in touch with your partners. So if you're a mortgage broker and you're looking to bring on a new team member, but you're a little unsure, shoot me a DM and I can actually guide you through it and say if it's the right move, or maybe it's actually better to look at your systems and processes and get the same result in a more efficient way." #mortgagebroker #mortgagecrm #crm #hiring
