Description
This episode of the Live Better Sell Better Podcast features Sahil Mansuri, CEO of Bravado. With layoffs happening left and right, it is critical for salespeople to know how best to protect themselves. Sahil educates on why equity is worthless in 95% of startups and why salespeople should look at a company's profitability when looking for their next job. HIGHLIGHT QUOTESDetermine a company's profitability before joining it - Sahil: "How do you evaluate an employer in a down market? It all comes down to profitability. It comes down to whether your company is turning a profit or not.""Any company that's turning a profit's completely fine. I mean, completely fine maybe too glib, but you're still fine. You control your own destiny. If you make more money than you spend, your company's going to be fine. For 99% of startups, that's not true."The 3 numbers you need from a potential employer - Sahil: "Get those three numbers. How much do you spend per month? How much do you make per month, and how much money is in the bank? So again, easy math."Let's say a company spends a million dollars a month and they make $500,000 in revenue. So they've burned 500k a month in spend. How much money do you have? Company has $50 million in the bank. Great. Go work for that company."You can find out more about Sahil in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sahilmansuri/Website: https://bravado.co/Email: sahil.mansuri@bravado.coConnect with KD in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kddorsey3/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/insidesalesexcellenceLive Better.
