Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

Before You Hire Another Rep, Look at Your Best One

Episode Description from the Publisher

Your best rep is sitting at 130% of quota, and every instinct says it's time to hire. So you start writing the job description for another hire, bracing for three to six months of ramp time right when you need momentum most. Kyle Willis, VP of Growth at BELAY, thinks most sales leaders are betting on the wrong rep. Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Kyle to break down what happens when a top performer gets a virtual sales assistant and wins back 5 to 10 hours a week. One rep pushed past 150% of quota, and her self-sourced pipeline grew enough that marketing could spend less. The difference came down to which work she handed off and which old leads she went back after.👉 Download Belay's Free "5 Reasons You Aren't Hitting Quota" Guide🎤 Get your ticket to the OutBound Conference📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's book, 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales SkillsOur Sponsors:* Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jebAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
