Notes from screening call

Solid outbound SaaS background. Talks through deals clearly, takes pushback without getting defensive and asks sharp discovery questions. Worth a first interview on your side.

Why sales hires fail

A poor sales hire costs more than salary alone.

Hiring mistakes drain pipeline, revenue and management time. They often begin with unclear roles, poor timing and a mismatch between the candidate and the way your company actually sells.

The wrong role at the wrong time

Hiring an SDR, AE or sales leader before the business is ready creates cost without creating reliable pipeline.

Unclear expectations

Without role clarity, ownership and measurable outcomes, even capable candidates are set up to miss the mark.

Weak candidate validation

A strong CV is not enough. Communication, sales capability and alignment with your sales motion must be tested early.
