Get Ready for Your First Sales Hire

The first AE inherits whatever you built. Make it a playbook, not an oral tradition.

The most expensive way to write your sales playbook is to hire a salesperson and let them fail toward it. The founder-led period is where the motion gets proven — and Mikey makes sure it's captured: the narrative and discovery questions that work, the pipeline history that shows what a real deal looks like, the hiring profile for the role, and a readiness score that tells you when it's actually time.

A playbook they can run on day one

Your narrative, ICP, discovery questions, objection library, decks, and sequences — versioned, coherent, and proven on your own closed-won deals.

Know when you're ready to hire

Sales readiness scoring reads your coaching progress, assessment, and pipeline evidence — repeatable wins, cycle patterns, stakeholder shapes — and tells you what's still founder-magic versus process.

Hire the right profile

Generated hiring profiles and pre-hire assessments matched to your motion and stage — because a founder-led PLG motion and an enterprise motion need different first hires.

Handoff with receipts

Every deal carries full history — calls, threads, analysis — so ramping a new rep means reading real deals, not deciphering your memory.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

When is a founder actually ready to hire sales?

The honest signal is repeatability: you can name your ICP, your discovery works in others' mouths, and your pipeline shows wins that didn't require founder heroics. Mikey's readiness scoring measures exactly that.

Does Mikey help after the hire too?

Yes — the playbook, practice drills, and deal intelligence work for the new rep, and the founder keeps the coaching and pipeline oversight.
