    • Hiring top sales talent for a MarTech tech company requires a strategic approach that focuses on both the technical expertise needed to sell MarTech products and a strong sales acumen.

    • Establishing exactly who you are looking for should be the first step of your search process. Consider technical knowledge, industry experience and sales target achievement.

    • Depending on the level of salesperson you are aiming to hire, consider partnering with an executive search firm to increase your chances of a streamlined, more accurate hiring process.

  • It depends on the type of sale. MarTech can be complex marketing platforms to C-suite but can equally be transactional sales to different audiences, and it is essential not to confuse the two. Most people like to sell something that is close enough to their network to ensure you can hit the ground running but not in direct competition with a previous company – so understand which buying personas a salesperson has sold to is key

  • MarTech isn’t often a technical sale but can involve multiple stakeholders depending on the solution. Typically start by understanding who they sell to (company & persona), whether it’s top down or bottom up, how many stakeholders are involved, how long the sales cycles are and the price of an average / large deal. “I’m a firm believer that size of deal doesn’t always = complexity, so prefer to dig into how they’ve overcome objections, how they’ve mapped stakeholders / influenced buyers and how do they demonstrate value to prospects.” – Steve Farr, Oakstone Divisional Director.

  • Often one of product differentiation and how they sell value. The sales and marketing technology landscape is pretty saturated right now, so understanding how sellers creatively open doors, build champions and sell value is key (in any industry for that matter).

    • Neglecting technical knowledge requirements

    • Focusing exclusively on industry experience

    • Ignoring cultural fit

    • Prolonging the hiring process

    • Not proving a realistic job overview

  • Having the ability to identify who is a complex marketing solution seller vs a transactional salesperson is important (depending on the solution) or finding salespeople who can cut through the noise in an overcrowded market.
