At SalesForce4Hire, we’ve helped companies navigate the challenging journey from product to market traction over 100 times. Each launch has reinforced a critical truth: something will inevitably not go as planned. But our extensive experience, refined process, and Sales Prototyping Model® enable us to identify and resolve issues faster, transforming potential setbacks into accelerated success.
Sales Prototyping Model®: At the Conceptual Level
This expertise is foundational to our Sales Prototyping Model®, which was founded on the idea that there are companies that are academically, clinically, or technically centric. Once those companies decide to go-to-market, they struggle to pivot to customer-centricity. They must ask themselves these fundamental questions:
- What is the best customer?
- What is the fastest way to close a deal?
- Where is the right place to put people?
- What is the DNA of the right salesperson and the tools that person needs?
A small, focused capital efficient organization is needed to answer those questions – much like they prototype their product, SalesForce4Hire would prototype We design, deploy, and refine a custom sales organization built for speed, fit, and results. This approach typically spans 9 -18 months (and sometimes up to 36 months), during which we iterate on sales plans and territory design to optimize performance.
By the end of this phase, our clients can make a strategic decision to do one of the following:
- Internalize the team as a core commercial competency.
- Extend the engagement to gather more data before deciding.
- Exit the initiative if the opportunity proves non-viable.
Our goal is to provide clients with strategic optionality – a clear, unbiased view of market potential and performance, so they can act with confidence.
Where it Fits in the Industry
We launched by serving early-stage companies going to market for the first time. Our mantra: “We go to market for the first time, all the time.” Our mission was, and still is, to build and then exit – handing off a commercial function that’s ready to scale within our client’s business.
Fast forward to today, SalesForce4Hire can deploy the Sales Prototyping Model under 4 types of relationships.
- Investor-Backed Startups
First-time market entrants looking for a fast, capital-efficient path to validation. - Non-Healthcare Companies Entering Healthcare
Innovators with compelling technology but limited healthcare sales experience. - International Companies Entering the U.S. Market
