Building a sales team in a high-growth environment

At Intercom, building a sales team in a high-growth environment requires careful consideration of values, behaviors, and beliefs that enable the team to perform at its best. To grow a world-class sales team, the company focuses on creating a scalable hiring profile that reflects its core values and ways of working. The non-negotiables include being customer-first, personal, and valuing impact. The hiring profile should be clear but not rigid, allowing for diverse candidates who embody these qualities to join the team. Intercom looks for salespeople with specific skills such as respecting the product, being resilient, caring about more than just quota, and embracing ambiguity. The company adopts a consultative, value-based selling strategy that meets buyers where they are in the purchasing process, automating tasks like lead qualification through chatbots. Account executives work to deliver ROI-driven discovery, deeply understand products, build relationships with prospects, and manage trials. Intercom's sales approach enables prospects to move through the funnel as fast as they're ready to go, cultivating trust and building stronger relationships with customers. The company is still growing and looking for more salespeople to join its team.
