It is hard to find part time sales/biz dev roles from larger companies. By the time they are looking to hire, they are looking for a full time person because they have a (mostly) full time need. Especially if there is commission involved, then it just continues to feed into the more, more, more...
Source: Before moving into consulting, I ran sales teams.
I would imagine that Customer Success would be easier to find on a less than full-time basis.
Consulting as Mooreds pointed out could be a good solution.
Could you consult or do paid work for clients within the realm of what your start-up is going to be doing?
- quotz 7y agoThanks for your answer Dave. Yeah I could do consulting as a LeadGen professional, I do have experience in that and have all the tools needed, but as I just moved to the US from EU I dont have a network here. It would take me months until I get the first client.
- The_DaveG 7y agoI get that, starting over in a new place can be tough. I would approach the looking for a new job and looking for clients as the same process. Your skills might not be something that a group needs part/full time but it could be something that they purchase your skills for a week or two a month/quarter and you would be full money wise and still have time to work on your Startup.
- quotz 7y agoThats a very helpful advice. Thanks Dave!
