How to build a SaaS company from scratch with a sales-focused mentality from day 1.
In this episode, Todd Bustler talks with Alex Olley, Co-Founder and CRO of Reachdesk, about what it really means to build a go-to-market motion from scratch.
Alex gets into the bold outbound bets that paid off, why attribution debates are a distraction, and how one smart RevOps hire changed the game. He also breaks down how tightening their ICP—and giving frontline teams a seat at the strategy table—helped Reachdesk hit its stride.
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how a little chaos, ownership, and constant testing fueled their early sales motion.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to scale pipeline without relying on inbound
- What a “caveman strategy” looks like in modern sales
- When it’s time to rethink your hiring and team structure
