No diatribes on propriety here. No lessons is how to and what not to do. What we have here is the flowing river of ideas an what makes a sales evangelista. This is the home for my feelings and not my functions. Sales training for the soul not the practitioner.No structure and outlines, no architecture of the design of the inner workings of the mind. No, instead we are going to break out a pile of steaming philosophy and force feed it to the blogosphere.
First of all, what is the mindless mentality of the entrepreneur that build a company and thinks he need corporate wizards. The sales and marketing minds of the big boys have no idea how to light the match of innovation. They are stuck in the muck of moving giant bars up or down minor amounts. What you need, sons and daughters of the future, are magicians who create large jumps from nothing. Hocus pocus and here we go, the money starts coming in and the evangelism starts pouring out.
Ditch every resume you have where someone worked at a company for more than thee years. These people will not like the ebb and flow and changing madness of your startup. Ditch the Microsoftians, the Appleonians, the Ciscans, and the Oraclites; sure you want them in engineering, but they have no place on the front lines of NewWidgetIdea.com. You need lunatics on donkeys charging windmills. Imagine the moment when your Microsoftian comes to you and says, "I don't know what is going on, usually people take my calls and want to meet with me." Uh , yeah you were the big fish in the little pond, not the other way around.
Find the hungry and ambitious who get bored once the compnay grows. Look for thrill seekers and the over competitive. Look for charm and passion. Look and you will find!
