We just wrapped with Robbie Allen, Founder at Buena Vista Ventures. You might also recognize him from his time at MixMax, Flexport, or that time he helped hire 250 sales reps at Zenefits. We dug deep into scaling sales teams and discussed the three stages that every startup sales team goes through: Product Market Fit (finding a mismatch), Repeatability and Scale (how to run a play repeatedly and see consistent results); and Hypergrowth (where you have a full playbook).We also talked about what sales ops, enablement, recruitment & hiring look like in each stage, and what are some of the biggest missteps you can make.Some of the highlights include:
Defining the 3 stages and what needs to be done differently in each one.
The goals behind each stage.
How to get ready for the next stage.
Learning to be a strong sales ops leader
