Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

Yes, but I only have one salesperson.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We're recruiting.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

We'll be hiring another one here right away.

And then we'll keep ramping that up.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But we had two salespeople turn over last month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

So a little bit of a change.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

Yeah, this was a really good learning experience.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

So one quit because he was an entrepreneur on the side and his business got too busy and I kind of motivated him to continue working on that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

So almost my fault, but I'm proud of them.

And then the second one was once, so I had this very experienced sales rep, Liam was in the middle and then we had a junior sales rep.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so when the middle rep quit,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

the disparity between my senior sales rep and the junior sales rep was so vast that I fired this junior sales rep the next day.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

I was like, oh, I'm like, you're not going to be able to cut it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so now I'm only going to hire someone from a competitor that has five to 10 years experience.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

And the words I've been using in the interviews have been, I need you to come in and hit the ground running.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

I think as a SaaS founder with, we have 12 employees and

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

I don't have a lot of time for training.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

And so I want people to come in and know the language, know how to sell already.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

And so I call it, I need them to hit the ground running.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so I'm really only looking at people directly from my competitors and we're using a recruiter to help us with that.
