Founders Bay Virtual Workshop: From Founder Gut to First Rep: The Playbook for Scaling Sales

In the early days of a startup, founders are often the first salespeople. They rely on instinct, customer conversations, and persistence to win their first customers. But as the company grows, what worked in the beginning doesn't always scale. Join Jean Templin, CEO and Founder of Nayak.ai, for a practical workshop on how founders can transition from founder-led sales to building a repeatable sales process and hiring their first sales representative. Jean will share lessons from building and scaling companies, including how to identify what is working, document a sales process, and prepare for sustainable growth. This session is designed for founders, startup leaders, and early-stage teams looking to move beyond founder intuition and create a sales engine that can grow with the business. What we'll cover:• When founder-led sales starts to become a bottleneck• Signs you're ready to hire your first sales rep• How to turn successful sales conversations into a repeatable process• Common mistakes founders make when scaling sales• Building a strong foundation for long-term revenue growth The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss their own sales challenges and growth plans.
