I need to do less sales calls.

We’ve signed up a couple of large new customers through our recent efforts, and we have 30 or so in the pipeline in various stages of interest in Stunning.

My life has recently been filled with too many sales calls, which is a good problem to have, but it’s killing me personally. As a painfully introverted person, it takes a lot out of me to do demos. I enjoy having talked to people once I get off of the call, but before calls, I am just a ball of stress. I don’t enjoy it. I’d rather be writing code, planning and managing our dev team.

Also, our marketing/customer support person has too much on her plate already. So I’m looking to hire someone to take over these calls.

I have some feelers out in my network, and I’m also looking into potentially hiring a VA to do these. I have a call with an agency about that this week.

The integration with our new partner continues to move along as well. They are writing the API methods and webhooks that we need, basically right before/as we need them. It’s like we’re a a train and they’re building the tracks in front of us. Sometimes our team catches up, which is where we are now.
