Matteo Papaluca ⚡️

My first job as a sales leader was at an early-stage startup.

It paid more than 30% less than my previous role - with almost no benefits.

I was leaving Linkedin glory for a 20-people startup. In 2018.

On a personal level wasn't easier either.
We’d just had our first baby. My wife thought I was crazy. 

But those years were transformational.

I learned more about building teams, hiring, and selling than any MBA or big-company gig could teach.

Inscaler was born there.

If you’re an ambitious sales person dreaming of leadership - don’t chase the biggest pay-check.

Don't chase security. Don't chase the shiny offices.

Chase the steepest learning curve.

Chase the grind.

The money will catch up. 

The experience never leaves.
