Hunt for the sales unicorn

A classic play for Kiwi tech companies when it comes to sales is that founders or senior executives will lead growth through the early stages of the business. This approach makes sense at the beginning, start-up phase of a company as these positions often have the most technical know-how or business acumen to mould solutions to customers need or offer flexibility on the advertised price. However, this approach isn’t scalable and as businesses begin to grow it can be difficult to replicate.

Instead of relying on, or hunting for another sales unicorn, a more practical approach is to grow one of your own. The solution is to recruit talented, junior salespeople and support them with a finely tuned sales machine. It’s that approach that will enable you to scale your sales, while hopefully growing some sales unicorns of your own.
