Description

Hire sales before you feel ready. In this episode, Matt Patrick and Shelby Betts pull back the curtain on building a sales team inside an accounting firm: why clients don’t need an accountant to say yes, the simple math to justify the role, and the non-negotiables before you hire.


We dig into defining your box, comp plans that are coin-operated and simple, and why you should never throttle sales when capacity gets tight. We also get tactical: marketing should feed 30–50 percent at best, hunters must build pipeline, the must-have tech stack, and the weekly cadence that drives first-time appointments.


If you’re an owner or in-house marketer tired of carrying every sales call, this is your playbook to attract, qualify, and close better-fit clients.
