Jason M. Lemkin explains why companies past $10-30M in revenue need to hire more salespeople to keep growing. One strong rep might close $1M, but average quota is closer to $500k, so you cannot scale from $30M to $60M without doubling your team.

Questions this video answers

No — the speaker says you cannot grow from $30M to $60M in one year without more than doubling your sales team.

At least 30 quota-carrying reps, and likely closer to 60 (speaker notes per-rep yield around $500k).
