Founder @MSP Consulting | Enterprise Sales for Startups | $2M => $10M ARR

Most founders aren't bad at sales. They’re just alternating between winging it and following playbooks that were built for companies 10x their size.

I never planned on a career in sales (I studied international relations). But when I fell into sales I realized it was the same skill…understand a situation deeply, then tell a persuasive story around it.

The further I got, the more I kept seeing the same thing. Companies hit the same walls at the same stages and made the same (avoidable) mistakes. And most of the advice for founders was either way too complicated or built for someone else's business.

I didn't want to manage bigger teams at bigger companies. I wanted to help founders solve those problems before they burned 12-18 months figuring it out the hard way.

I work with B2B SaaS founders between $1M–$10M who are building enterprise and midmarket sales orgs. I help them cut through the noise, find the highest-leverage fix, and build something repeatable — without overcomplicating it.

No generic advice or playbooks borrowed from $500M companies. Just proven frameworks built for your stage. 

Book a strategy session below. You’ll leave with clarity on the biggest thing slowing you down right now, and how to fix it.

We help early and mid-stage companies recruit exceptional go-to-market talent (that others often miss).

These articles cover my thinking on various topics
https://www.linkedin.com/in/cbrotman/recent-activity/posts/

Here are six core beliefs:

1. We need to do a better job at promoting career opportunities for underrepresented groups in the broadest possible sense.  DEI professionals often get this wrong.  We need to change the way we source, engage, and onboard talent from all walks of life.  If we do so, companies will perform better.

2. Cronyism is a problem in tech hiring.  We need to get more comfortable hiring strangers and getting outside our personal networks.  

3. If you hire "from the gut," you may not have a hiring process. Without a process, you cannot scale.

4. It's not a virtue to "fire fast" - and it's never been a virtue.  Companies need to do a better job at on-boarding their new hires.

5. Personal branding evangelism has pyramid-scheme like features.  Worrying about your personal brand before you develop key skills is putting the cart before the horse. 

6. Be wary of remote work evangelism. It may be creating the conditions for the outsourcing of everything.  Sitting on video calls all day is dystopian.  I like remote work, but it's had an adverse impact on our communities, mental health and talent skills development. It's a very complicated topic.

Hiring alert - 

We're recruiting sales talent for a few startup and scale-up clients over the coming weeks (roles will be posted soon, some later this quarter).  We can accelerate conversations in many cases with HMs now

-> Location: Preference for ET (especially NYC) or CT, but open to strong performers across the U.S.
-> OTEs: range from 150 - 220k

What we generally want to see:

1. Carried a new business quota in SaaS, AI, or tech-enabled services
2. Stayed long enough to see MULTIPLE quota cycles through at one or two recent companies (not judging hops - but your career needs clear indications you've seen the finish line multiple times in one business)
3. Consistently exceeded targets, OR
4. Outperformed peers in stack rankings (if quota was significantly over-assigned)
5. Coachability, accountability, clear communication skills, curiosity, and hunger for growth

If this sounds like you or someone in your network open to new roles, please consider reaching out!
