Hey would love to learn things on two on the traits you look in a sales person. I have been selling myself as a founder last 8 years, now want to hire someone.
I have not met Parker in person, I have not used Rippling. But I like the approach of building a vertical end to end tool. I started https://taghash.io with just deal flow CRM for VC, over time customers demanded portfolio management, when we built it, others asked for fund, LP management. As we incrementally built our product, sales (mostly referral & inbound) became easier.
We were no more getting compared to a spreadsheet or no code tool because of being a single vendor managing end to end lifecycle of a VC/PE firm.
I will avoid google Pixel.
Two of it's souvenirs are in my closet currently. The hardware vendor they partner with screws customers and maligns brand google.
