Hi all. I have an opportunity to join a well-known company which is launching a new SaaS product for enterprise clients. While I have some experience doing this, the opportunity has presented itself to me mostly from networking and the fact that I have a diverse skillset which makes me well-versed in various areas of business.
In theory, this is a head of sales org but will have cross functional responsibilities and such. I have done sales but never led or started an org from scratch so I need some help.
I already had the initial interview with the HR screener and I'm setting up a call to speak with the hiring manager next week. I know the hiring manager a little bit and he knows my background. I think he's a LITTLE hesitant because on paper I'm not a "Head of Sales" guy with a wealth of experience there.
So here's what I'm thinking.....
I'd like to prepare a presentation (slide deck if possible) that I can review with the hiring manager as sort of a proposal to him on how I would go about setting up the org and approach a 30-60-90 day plan. It doesn't have to be super specific and it doesn't have to be super in depth or set in stone. I want to do this so I can have an asset I can share with him to hopefully alleviate any trepidation he has about my candidacy.
Basically I want to be able to say this:
"Look, obviously there's details here we'd need to flesh out and there's context I don't have yet because I'm not part of the team, but from a 50,000 foot view of things, here's what my approach would be as you and I set about spinning up this org and taking this product to market."
Sorry this is getting lengthy, but my questions are:
Does this sound like a good plan?
If yes, does anyone have any tips on how to create the deck, and/or a template I could use to build it?
Thank you in advance
