Bootstrapped? Founders should sell first while outsourcing marketing. Funded? Hiring both works—but only if they collaborate closely. More insights here: ⬇️ 🔗 https://t.co/1rfEHEevif What worked for you?

✅ If you're PLG/e-commerce → Hire marketing first. Build demand, optimize conversions, and create strong messaging before scaling sales. ✅ If you're sales-driven → Hire sales first. Enterprise cybersecurity deals rely on relationships and trust, not just inbound leads.

Cybersecurity startup founders: Who should you hire first—sales or marketing? Many assume they can find one person to do both, but this rarely works. Marketing and sales require distinct skills, and hiring the wrong role first can slow down your growth. 🧵
