What would it feel like hiring 150 sales people for your company in 6 months?
That’s the question I asked Scot, the founder of Classy, a few months ago.
I’ll fast track his answer… essentially, he started out for many years being the primary salesperson, then hired around him, but remained inseparable from that process.
After years of hustling and grinding he eventually hired his first VP of Sales.
