An entrepreneur argues you should hire aggressive salespeople from Cutco and mall kiosks, train them to sell B2B SaaS, and use the team itself as your exit. Sales talent is in high demand for acquihires, so the product matters less than assembling the right people.
You need to create a white label enterprise sales team. Quit trying to hire programmers, whatever. I want you going out there recruiting the guys selling Cutco knives. I want you going to the mall finding the most hustler guys selling that shoe soap stuff. And I want you to start building them and training them on how to sell B2B SaaS. If you are looking for an acquihire, salespeople are in high demand. If you have guys that can sell and girls that can sell, sell. This company will get bought. I don't care what you're selling, but start collecting salespeople and build a sales team. You'll either get bought out, you can build a SaaS around it, or you'll just get acquihired in. This is a good business idea.
