95: Mike Baker, CRO at Noname, talks about leading a sales team through hyper growth

Mike Baker, CRO at Noname Security, joins me today to talk about his experience (and success) in the cybersecurity sales world and how he tends to go the opposite way of where the masses head…because that's where the gold is. Bluebird anyone?!?!Mike joined Noname Security in October 2020 as its first employee in the US and first in the sales team.  Now, just 16 months later, the go-to-market team has over 100 people, with most of them in sales. Mike talks about the decisions he made during that period, the type of people that do well, the first hires he made, and what's coming up in 2022.If you are a sales leader at a startup, or you're in the sales team, and you're searching for your repeatable scalable sales process to grow sales faster, then please get in touch with me at [email protected] or you can also go to my site at www.unstoppable.do.Sign up for our newsletter (https://www.salesbluebird.com) Support the showThe Cyber Go-To-Market Talk is the show for cybersecurity sales leaders, founders, CROs, and go-to-market operators looking to improve cyber sales performance and build more predictable revenue growth.
