Building your first sales team? Start with the right plan.
Role design, compensation structure, hiring plan and interview scorecards, before you hire anyone.
Two ways to get started
Sales Hiring Blueprint
A fixed-scope engagement delivered in about two weeks: role design, compensation structure, hiring plan and interview scorecards. Scope and fee are confirmed after a short consultation.
Fractional sales head
An experienced sales leader on a retainer, to set direction and run the first hires while you build the team.
Before you hire anyone
- Which roles to hire first, and in what order
- A compensation structure that attracts and retains sellers
- A hiring plan with timelines and owners
- Interview scorecards so every candidate is judged the same way
Questions about advisory

If it is a fit, we propose a scope and a fee for the Blueprint, or a fractional engagement. There is no obligation after the call.
