Sales leadership search · Technology & AI

Hire sales leaders from someone who's been one.

Invictus finds VPs of Sales, CROs and front-line sales managers for technology and AI companies. I've carried a number and led sales teams, so I know what the right leader looks like, and what the wrong one costs.

The problem

One sales leader sets the ceiling for your whole team.

Get it right and reps ramp faster, forecasts hold, and good people stay. Get it wrong and you lose a year: missed quota, churned reps, and a second search to undo the first.

Missed number

Pipeline stalls while a mis-hired leader learns your market on your dime.

Lost reps

Top performers leave bad managers first. You rebuild the team, not just the role.

Lost time

It often takes months to admit a leadership hire isn't working, and months more to replace them. Those are quarters your team doesn't get back.

Your guide

I've sat in the seat you're hiring for.

Before founding Invictus, I spent most of a decade in technology staffing and IT services sales: first as a recruiter, then in business development and sales leadership, running a regional sales team and sales operations. I've hired great leaders and I've lived with the wrong ones.

That's why I don't screen on résumés and buzzwords. I test for the things that move a team: how they coach, how they forecast, how they build pipeline when the market turns.

Most recruiters can tell you if someone has the title. I want to know whether they can do the job.
