Ada Vaccaro is Senior Sales Manager at Bench, a company that organizes the financials of small businesses, independent contractors, and entrepreneurs. In this episode, learn about the unique challenges of staffing a sales team for only a few months out of the year. Aly Merritt, Head of Community at Salesloft, joins as guest host.
Jessica, Aly, and Jeremey talk about the top three qualities Ada looks for in high-performing sales reps, how to plan capacity for a flexible workforce, and the ease with which salespeople can slip into other roles.
