Bravado

The average tenure for a VP of Sales at a startup is only 9 months. 9. Months. Let that sink in. Early-stage startups can’t afford to hire and fire two VPs of Sales before they find the one that is actually going to scale their revenue. Yet Executive Search Firms continue to make the same predictable mistakes when sourcing sales leaders. Why? They keep pushing: ❌Big logos. An ‘Ex-Company’ doesn’t necessarily have the hustle and grit to release a new product into the market. ❌Candidates who were successful 15-20 years ago. Times change. The tactics of yesterday won’t help you win tomorrow’s dollars. Over the years, we’ve spent helping companies hire top sales talent, acquiring millions of unique sales-specific data points, and growing a community of over 500k sales professionals. We have come to deeply understand what a successful sales leader should look like today: ✅Hits or exceeds quota despite selling an unknown product at a less-known brand ✅Experienced in using cutting-edge sales software and modern sales tactics ✅Has the energy lead by example and close business alongside their team If you want to hire the Rising Star sales leader who will become known for building your company, come talk to us. Bravado Executive Search helps you hire the right VP of Sales for your company, the first time. #executivesearch #VPofsales #salesleader #techsales #revenuegrowth #VC #portfoliocompany #hiring #founder #techstartup #SeriesA #Bravado #BravadoExecutiveSearch

Alright folks. Non video post alert. As many of you know I keep my ear to the tech-streets and a big part of how I do that is via the hundreds of thousands of Salesfolk in the Bravado community. Today we’re dropping our 🚨2024 Revenue Recap!🚨 While it’s called a recap it really looks forward into the signals we’re seeing for 2024. And the good news is, for the first time in a while… It’s good news!🫶🏻 A few notable highlights: -Since December 2023, VC funding has been accelerating. 📈 -Valuations are up, from early to late-stage 📈 -83% of companies are planning to grow Sales headcount in 2024 -63% of sales teams are currently hiring for sales roles -There seems to be a refocus on growth (versus profitability) -The layoff contagion is FINALLY beginning to slow. 🙌🏻 What this means: Finally we’re seeing some some light at the end of the tunnel. Let be real, Tech will never be the way it was 10 years ago. How could it be? It was silly, unsustainable, unjustifiable. There was a required recalibration. But luckily the worst appears behind us. We’re seeing companies ramp up hiring again. Sales leaders are more optimistic and the market seems to be responding in kind.If you’re interested in the full report, you know where to find it. 👇👇 corp
