Motivation seems like hard work because nearly every salesperson values different things. However, there are several steps a sales manager can take to establish a motivating environment for salespeople in order to build a high-performance sales team.

Dear SaaStr: If a startup is at $1.5M ARR and is looking to hire an experienced COO how much equity should they give him/her? 0%. I think $1.5m ARR is too early for an experienced COO in 95 cases out of 100 — unless it’s a total rocketship and you plan to be at $10m+ ARR within 12 months. At $1.5m ARR you should still be the COO. You should find, hire, and manage the VPs of Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product and Engineering and even Finance yourself.

Revenues Multiples Are Down Even the best public SaaS companies are worth ~10x revenue today. In 2021, they were often worth 40x revenue. So that seems to make deals more expensive in terms of how much stock (if not cash) it takes to buy something.

The Boston Red Sox had a mediocre team in 2024. They had too many left-handed hitters, not enough starting pitching, an undependable bullpen, and by far, the worst defense in the MLB. Sure, they won half their games, but they lost the other half – many of them games they should have won. Most sales teams win fewer than half their “games,” and while defense can’t be blamed, pitching can!
