It was all about getting the contract. Once you had the contract, all the servers were set up, you flew in your professional services people, it took six months to set it up, it took six months to train people, and the product sucked, but it didn’t matter. And do we look for it in the interview process? We sold software.

The first sales hire needs to do all of the selling, build the playbook, and (probably) act as a Sales Development Representative doing cold outbound prospecting. Now for the bottom-up approach that fails: Many in SaaS like a 50–50 base salary to commission model for compensating Account Executives.

We need a good market, the long tail of developers, product managers, that would simply self serve on the website. If you want to accelerate the velocity of an integration inbound, you need to be out there, you need to have a real brand, and be known by developer committees. And you said you kept the pricing on the website?

Most CEOs/hiring managers have zero experience working with an outsourced search firm—and they don’t have an understanding of which firms are relevant to engage. Contingency firms , most commonly used for mid-level individual contributor recruiting, usually charge 25% of first-year cash compensation for their fee. Time is valuable.

I have followed these benchmarks generally, though I have a co-founder earning equal pay so some of our compensation has come from the operating expense allocation. I started hiring contract help immediately. We recorded the interviews and had them transcribed, then highlighted the catchy sentences for use in our marketing content.
