The wrong hire can cost you 18 months

Hiring a Sales VP at the wrong time can cost your business 18 months.
In small business, 18 months can be growth or stagnation.
6 months to find a Sales VP. 6 months ramp. Not a fit. 6 months to find a Sales VP.
Build your sales system first. It's safer. More cost effective.
Build momentum.
Then hire the VP. Give them something to scale.
