By Dr. Denis Jung, founder of Fit-To-Scale.
Founders often think they have a sales activity problem. - They don’t.
More leads and demos can hide a lack of clarity about the customer, business case and outcome. That gap becomes visible when the first sales hires struggle to close.
Everyone is trying to use AI to create more outbound conversations.
In Denis Jung’s outbound experiments, the decisive change was who entered the campaign. AI workflows source accounts around funding and hiring signals; messaging stays under control.
Hiring sales team on commission alone sounds like a great deal for a founder. - But is it?
A higher commission does not fix an unproven offer or sales motion. Before the first sales hire bets their income on the business, the conditions for closing need to be credible.
