GitHub's approach to sales is deeply intertwined with its focus on product excellence and customer satisfaction, reflecting its developer-centric ethos. Rather than pursuing aggressive sales tactics or commission-based incentives, GitHub emphasizes building products that largely sell themselves, catering to a customer base that requires minimal intervention. The sales team, referred to as developer liaisons, primarily assists the small percentage of customers who need business-related guidance, operating more like sales engineers or technical account managers. This team is composed of individuals with technical backgrounds who prioritize long-term relationships and helping developers within larger organizations advocate for GitHub products. By eschewing traditional sales commissions in favor of competitive salaries and benefits, GitHub ensures a collaborative work environment where success is shared across the organization. This philosophy underscores GitHub's commitment to sustainability and authenticity in its business practices.
