Early in a startup’s life, founders are the ones selling and finding those critical early customers. As the startup scales, this responsibility often transitions to a sales team. The transition is a vital moment in the company’s journey, and mistakes can set the organization back years. In this episode, we speak to Josh Leslie, who has decades of sales and leadership experience spanning companies like VMware, Coraid, and Cumulus Networks. We explore the intricacies of building and scaling a sales organization and what are some of the pitfalls for founders. This is the last episode of our first season!
