Of all your hires, if you have commissioned sales people, those will give you the most problems if they’re not all given an equal chance to make their quotas and achieve their personal earnings goals.

Most begin by doing the product development, marketing and sales alone, but struggle making the transition to hiring and coaching others, defining repeatable processes and focusing on future strategy.

Not every round of funding is closed at a “monster” valuation. We went public in 2002 and eBay bought the company later that year for over $1.5 Our industry is so enmeshed in TechCrunch headlines, the Twitterverse, and offline chatter at networking events that it’s easy to believe that everyone else is killing it.

Both Sides of the Table

JANUARY 31, 2011

Mostly you read about fundings, product releases, big valuations, and M&A. It was 2002 – the “dog days&# of the Internet and we were running out of cash.
