Jamie Hamer – Grow and scale your first sales team

Whether you are one of the 20,000 new tech start-ups in 2020 or run a business looking to scale, you will eventually have to generate more revenue tomorrow than you do today. 

Early-stage sales are likely to be made by the founding team, however, this eventually means that you need to hire a salesperson or sales team. 

Many business owners from non-sales backgrounds often worry about this stage of growth.

Key Areas of Discussions with Jamie Hamer, Co-Founder & Commercial Director, React News:

  • Choosing a B2B niche based on research and customer demand
  • Why recruiting for behaviours is key when recruiting your first sales team
  • How to build out a leadership team to run the sales function
  • Why technology can help a new sales team over perform.
