Why Your Marketing Strategy Should Come Before Sales Hiring

Hiring a sales team before you’ve nailed your marketing strategy? That’s like trying to drive a car with no gas! In this episode, Jeff and James break down why marketing isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation for sales success!

We get into:

• How strong positioning and messaging make sales scalable.
• Why demand generation needs to come before cold calls.
• Real stories of startups that hired sales too early—and what it cost them.
• The marketing strategy you need before you onboard your first rep.

Whether you're scaling a startup, refining your go-to-market strategy, or trying to align sales and marketing teams, this episode gives you the clarity (and fuel) to do it right.
