My colleague and I started the sales team at PagerDuty. We were both engineers. Happy to meet for coffee in SoMa if anyone with revenue would like a short 1:1. I&#x27;ve done this a number of times over the years and hopefully those folks have found it helpful.<p>Sorry, no remote&#x2F;phone calls. I don&#x27;t do calls with clients either - face-to-face only - lesson one :)<p>Email is in profile.

Worth mentioning that this guide assumes your SaaS startup is doing enterprise &#x2F; high-touch sales. If you&#x27;re doing low-touch SaaS, you probably don&#x27;t want to hire a salesperson at all.

This looks really interesting ... but I&#x27;m not going to download some random PDF when you could just have easily put the information directly on the site.

&gt; Additionally, you should be able to answer most of these questions—all of which a candidate is likely to ask you: • How long is the sales cycle (from first conversation to closed contract) on average? • What is the typical deal size (in terms of ARR)? • How is your product priced? • What are the steps of the sales process? • How do you define success in this role? • How are you getting new leads and generating conversations?<p>As a technical founder, these are exactly the questions I need to ask someone with sales experience!

a16z has an article I read and liked recently: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;a16z.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;05&#x2F;26&#x2F;hiring-sales-why-what&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;a16z.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;05&#x2F;26&#x2F;hiring-sales-why-what&#x2F;</a><p>Content tagged with sales: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;a16z.com&#x2F;tag&#x2F;sales&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;a16z.com&#x2F;tag&#x2F;sales&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;d love some advice for startups that do traditional non-SaaS software sales. However it seems that everything is catered to high-growth SaaS startups. Is there a dearth of material because no one will invest in traditional software businesses or because everyone else is building SaaS these days?
