The Founder Who Fired His Best Sales Rep

When a founder's top seller is actually scaring away the right customers, how do you know when to let them go? In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down a real case: a B2B SaaS founder whose star rep closed $800K in year one — but with a 90% churn rate. They walk through the diagnostic signals that reveal a rep is winning deals with the wrong buyers, how to separate sales velocity from customer fit, and a simple three-question framework to evaluate whether your early sales hires are helping or hurting your product-market fit. Plus: the one metric that matters more than revenue in founder-led sales.
