Founder Fireside Chat - October 5, 2020

building an incredible organization & culture at the forefront of sales tech.

The Atlanta tech scene is growing fast, and SalesLoft has led the way. From Georgia roots that have expanded across the globe, to being at the forefront of sales technology and culture, they are helping create the future of sales.

This is why we couldn’t wait to sit down with SalesLoft CEO Kyle Porter. 

Key Takeaways -

  • If you’re going to hire for culture, you have to truly live it. The SalesLoft mentality is “glass half full” - and they all live that daily, including the CEO.

  • Pair hiring is a great tactic to make sure someone’s a good culture fit. Each candidate is interviewed by two people from completely different disciplines, so they can focus fully on culture fit instead of skillset.

  • If you’re planning on becoming an entrepreneur: you have to go whole hog. The more energy you devote to your company and idea, the more likely you are to find success.

  • When figuring out what sets you and your company apart, ask yourself: what is a core belief I have that most people would disagree with? This belief usually becomes a keystone in your company culture.
