Transitioning out of founder-led sales fails. Building a scalable, repeatable sales motion is hard.
If you've experienced a failed sales hire, a VP of Sales who didn't deliver, no clear playbook, or consistently wrong forecasts, you are not alone.
I'm Alex Newmann, founder and CEO of Newmann Consulting Group. I work with B2B founders and CEOs at $1M–$25M companies. We start with a sales and GTM assessment reviewing people, process, systems, and performance to identify what's stopping growth.
This channel is for you if:
• You can't get out of founder-led sales
• Your VP of Sales isn't working out
• Revenue is stuck and you don't know why
• Forecasts are consistently wrong
And you want to learn from those who've made the transition and scaled to millions in revenue.
Subscribe for weekly content on sales process, GTM, hiring, and scaling past founder-led sales.
