First Sales Team Pack

What's inside

1. Prompt
   When and Who to Hire as a Startup's First Salesperson

   Decides when a founder-led sales motion is ready to hand off and what kind of first sales hire fits — evidence that the sale is repeatable, early-stage seller versus big-company seller, profile and red flags, interview with a role-play, ramp expectations and how the founder stays involved.

2. Prompt
   Startup Sales Playbook Written From Founder-Led Deals

   Captures what the founder knows into a first sales playbook — ideal customer and buyer roles, qualification criteria, discovery questions, demo flow, objection handling, pricing and discount rules, deal stages with exit criteria, and templates — so new sellers start from experience, not guesses.

3. Prompt
   Early-Stage Sales Compensation Plan — Base, Variable, Quota, Accelerators and Clawbacks

   Designs a fair, simple compensation plan for the first sellers — base and variable split, on-target earnings, quota set from realistic capacity, commission rates, accelerators, ramp period, payment timing, clawbacks for churn or non-payment, and a plan document for legal review.

4. Prompt
   Weekly Pipeline Review and Deal Inspection for a Small Sales Team

   Runs a useful weekly pipeline meeting — pipeline coverage, stage hygiene, deal inspection questions that reveal risk, next steps with dates, help requests, and coaching moments — instead of reading the CRM aloud.

5. Prompt
   Startup Sales Forecasting — Commit, Best Case and Improving Accuracy

   Builds an honest sales forecast for a young company — categories (commit, best case, pipeline) with clear definitions, combining rep judgement with stage-weighted and historical methods, tracking forecast accuracy, and explaining the forecast to the board.

6. Prompt
   New Seller Onboarding and 90-Day Ramp Plan for a Startup

   Gets a new seller productive quickly — product and customer immersion, shadowing the founder, certifications through role-plays, first prospecting targets, joint calls, a 30-60-90 plan with leading indicators, and weekly coaching.

7. Skill
   First Sales Team Builder

   A standing partner for founders building their first sales team: when and who to hire, playbooks from founder deals, compensation plans, pipeline reviews, forecasting and seller onboarding — repeatable, fair and honest about the numbers.
