As a startup founder, you must have gone through your fair share of sales playbooks, all claiming that they contain the ‘secret sauce’ to generate more leads and close more deals. This episode with sales leader Jose Morales is not that. In this episode, we explore the nuances of building a modern sales team — when to build one, how to build one, and how to set it up for success.
“Your customer looks at your sales rep as a trusted advisor. Someone that really understands their needs,” says Jose, the chief revenue officer at Freshworks.
Jose, who comes with an extensive track record of sales across the spectrum of startups — from the small company to the global giant — also covers how to scale modern sales teams, his sales philosophy, and several other questions that will help startups build an efficient sales organization.
