Need a Sales Team for Hire?

Revenue doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built by people who know how to sell, connect, and close. Whether you’re expanding into new markets, launching a product, or simply tired of inconsistent sales performance, you need a team that delivers.

At Edge Hunter Group, we help companies hire high-impact sales teams—from SDRs and Account Executives to Sales Ops and Directors—designed around your pipeline, goals, and growth stage.

What Is a Sales Team?

A sales team is more than just closers—it’s a strategic unit that drives new business, nurtures relationships, and fuels your company’s revenue engine. A strong sales team combines prospecting, solution selling, data-driven decision-making, and customer success to generate lasting growth.

Think of it like this: a high-performing sales team doesn’t just pitch your product—they understand your customer’s problem, position the right solution, and guide them to a confident “yes.”

One of our clients—a B2B SaaS company—came to us after struggling with lead conversion. We built a hybrid team of outbound SDRs and inbound closers, and within 90 days, they doubled their monthly recurring revenue.

Most In-Demand Sales Roles:

Most companies in the U.S. start by hiring Account Executives or SDRs, but as their pipeline matures, they quickly see the value of Sales Ops and CSM roles to support and retain business. We help them scale in the right order.

What Does a Sales Team Do?

A sales team is responsible for converting leads into customers, growing accounts, and hitting revenue targets. But their day-to-day work is dynamic:

• Prospecting and qualifying leads

• Running discovery calls and demos

• Managing a pipeline in CRM tools

• Negotiating pricing and closing deals

• Collaborating with marketing on lead quality

• Ensuring post-sale handoffs to customer success

In one recent project, a client’s sales reps were spending hours each week on manual follow-ups and quoting. We introduced a Sales Ops hire who automated those tasks—freeing the team to focus on selling. Results? 30% more demos booked in the first month.

When and Why Should You Hire a Sales Team?

If your business depends on consistent customer acquisition and retention—then a sales team isn’t optional, it’s essential. But the timing and structure matter.

Here are some clear signs it’s time to build or upgrade your team:

• Your founder/CEO is still doing the selling

• Your reps are stretched thin or missing quotas

• You’re launching into a new market or vertical

• You’re converting inbound leads too slowly

• You’re seeing churn from lack of post-sale support

We often work with startups and mid-size firms who hit a growth ceiling—not because of product issues, but because they didn’t invest early enough in the right sales structure.

Benefits of a Well-Structured Sales Team:

• Increased win rates and shorter sales cycles

• Stronger customer relationships and retention

• Better alignment between sales and marketing

• Visibility into pipeline health and forecasting

• Scalable growth without burning out top performers

Based on our experience, the difference between an average team and a high-performing one is almost always structure and fit—the right roles, the right systems, and the right people.

How To Choose the Best Sales Professionals for Your Team

When hiring for sales, it’s not just about “hunters” or “closers.” You need people who align with your industry, customer journey, and growth model. Here’s what to look for:

• Proven experience in similar sales cycles (short/long, transactional/consultative)

• Familiarity with your CRM and sales stack

• Strong communication and storytelling skills

• Data-driven mindset—tracking KPIs, not just activity

• Ability to work cross-functionally with marketing and customer success

One of our clients in the fintech space was struggling with industry knowledge gaps. We helped them hire reps who had sold financial products before—and suddenly, their close rate jumped by 28%.

Challenges of the Traditional Approach to Hiring a Sales Team

Let’s be honest—sales hiring is tough. Generic recruiters don’t understand the nuances of sales, and hiring managers often get overwhelmed with mismatched candidates.

Common pitfalls include:

• Overemphasis on personality vs. performance

• Ignoring cultural or industry fit

• Unclear role definitions (AE vs. CSM vs. AM)

• Delayed time-to-hire = missed revenue targets

• Poor ramp-up processes = underperforming reps

We’ve seen companies waste 6+ months on the wrong sales hire. At Edge Hunter, we make sure that never happens again.
