"If Someone's Got Sales DNA, HIRE THEM" - Creme de la Corp #17 - Oct. 5th

video cover

The Creme is BACK! Sometimes you gotta take some time to let the creme rise. Patience is a virtue. But so is URGENCY. So let’s get into it and drive some revenue.


This week, Corporate grants us with his presence and advice on a variety of topics including taking new roles even if you might be a little scared. Hiring sales reps from other industries - risky or nah? Stalking your teammates’ numbers in sales - destructive or motivational? Selling to a problematic customer - work through it or fire your prospect? 


So big shoutouts to the following WR Members and their fire posts:

Offered an AE role, but not sure I'm ready @neversettle

Stalking your teammates' #s @DatSaaS 

Realizing that the customer is the problem @RedLightning

Would you hire a salesperson outside of software to sell for a SAAS company? @posercloser


And shoutout @UrAssIsSaaS for that fire comment...


And last, but not least, the SVP of Product at Justworks, Camilla Velasquez, joined the War Room for an AMA where she answered any and all questions from the salesfolk. There’s always some tension between sales and product (WHY IS THE ROADMAP DELAYED???) so this was a dope opportunity for the two departments to come together and learn how the other one works. For sales people, the more you know, the more power and leverage you have, and the more deals you will inherently close. Here's a link to that AMA post here if you wanna check it out in more depth: I’m the SVP of Product at Justworks. Ask me anything!


Thank you all and may god bless your pipelines 🙏
